RE: Is listening to music even popular anymore?

I am encountering more and more people, mostly of younger age, who think music is a frivolous exercise that isn't worth wasting any time or money over.

I don't recall encountering such an individual during the first half of my lifetime, but I've encountered roughly ten such individuals in 2014 alone.

(One of these people was at my place recently to provide insurance quotes. A well-dressed man in his late 20s or early 30s. Saw the two systems. He was dumbfounded that I could "waste so much time and money over something so useless". I offered to play him some music, he told me don't even bother. He had no interest in music in any shape, matter, or form. He had a similar attitude toward sports, but I have encountered someone on AA who had such an attitude toward sports.)

I have my theories over why such attitude has surfaced, I believe the decline in mainstream music has played a role.
