In Reply to: Is listening to music even popular anymore? posted by xrayspex78 on October 27, 2014 at 20:45:58:
At 63 I am far from fitting the age group you allude to (I see that you are 29) but my son is in that age group and cares not a wit to listen to recorded music but still spends many hours after work in front of his large screen TV watching sports or playing video games.
OTH he has never been into music much. From what he tells his friends fit the same pattern, except for one who fancies himself a hipster and listens to his one Coltrane LP on a Crosley Cruiser and mentions this at every turn because he wants to be cool.
Very few in that age group into stereo music systems and those who are focus mostly on equipment and equipment superstitions whipped up by the audio press and sites such as these and are not very adventurous when it comes to choice of music.
Those into computer audio could be a little more adventurous I would believe, but I base that on no real knowledge other than the fact that I, myself, spend a lot of time these days on the computer listening to music that is way off the beaten path. Then again, I often go out and buy a recording (vinyl or cd, usually cd as the low price makes the endeavour less risky) of what I heard and struck my fancy.
So, seems to me very few are actually taking time to sit in front of what I and many here consider real hi-fi systems.
