I doubt any of the haters on this chain have actually: a) stepped into a record store that champions new music (Burger Records in Fullerton, CA has a stable of great young bands and regularly sells cassettes of these), b) attended a club performance, c)preview music on online sources like Spotify.
I can name a dozen bands I am grooving on from each of these three sources. And the kids are not buying into your argument.
Having attended the last three years of the SHOW in Newport, what I see in the audiophile world is a demographic one foot away from the grave. Too many OEMs chasing too few monied and aged consumers.
In the meantime, I see millions of kids enjoying music on their portable devices. Internet radio now accounts for 5 hours in a day of active listening.
So to the haters: the world will grow new a day at a time,
and no one will likely care about your experience.
