Where are the young audiophiles?


I find it alarming that 95% of all audiophiles are seniors.According to a consultant at my local HI-FI store,young people don't seem interested in high-end equipment.They listen to music on their phone.Sooner or later, all the great neighborhood HI-FI stores will not be able to remain open. Kind of sad,don't you think?

The young people are the smart ones. They just listen to music as they please. No comparisons, no pressure, no grandstanding, no ridicule, no obsessing.....just listening when and how they please. Fact is it’s nothing hard to get good sound for not much these days. The times they are a changing.  Omg what the heck am I doing?????  I must be nuts. 
It is sad especially when there are very few audio guys under the age of 60 to 65 but we are here i knot of a few in the 40 to 50 year old range but we do not have the numbers to sustain the majority of the brick and mortar stores and it is sad when they do or have to close but the trend i have been seeing over the past few years is that they are disappearing at an alarming rate.
I think the high end should lower prices so more young people can partake.
