I ask myself the same question about audiences in classical orchestral concerts I attend. Average age of the audience is very high. In the future the hall will be half empty unless they start playing only tunes from video games and movies.

Us Boomers had a choice of in-home entertainment of three TV channels or listening to music, and later an Atari and a wired remote VHS that required you to drive to the store to use. And even though I'm retired now, I sit and listen far less because I have so many other choices. So it's not a surprise that in the past 20 years I haven't run into anyone under 50 who cares about equipment, much less sitting and listening. But I have run into many who have some form of home theater system. The equipment shows I've been to look like retirement seminars. |
@hilde45 I’m not sure I buy the attention span argument made in the article you referenced. I’m a member of r/kindle and from people’s self descriptions it is clear many younger people buy kindles to sit and focus on reading. Younger people sit and focus on binge watching episodes. |
