Most young (and let's face it, almost ALL people who aren't in our ballgame) simply don't understand WHAT good sound is in the first place! Hard to care about something that one doesn't know exists! They haven't been taught, maybe because even their parents (people MY age) didn't know either! Heck, I was the first of my group of friends to even have a CD player and knew what digital recording and playback were!)
Cut back to the new generation (our sons and daughters)- Great example; my best friend's daughter- She's 20 and "discovered" vinyl about two or so years ago. She buys anything she can on LP if it is available AND downloads it for portable playback, all the way from the Blade Runner RED vinyl (she is a Sci-Fi NUT), through classic and prog rock (parents grew up as avid Deep Purple and Pink Floyd fans) and she loves underground and little known bands (she even turned me and D-wife onto a newer group called Gardens and Villa, for example).
She is totally elated that I am giving her my vinyl duplicates- some jazz (Weather Report, Coltrane, Jimmy Smith), classical (various everything) and some older stuff (prog, classic rock). She isn't into a massive, high end stereo, yet. But her stuff is respectable and she doesn't abuse the records. Interesting because, she saw her parents do it and grew up around it.
And yes, she does have a smart phone, a laptop AND is into digital art (photography and editing)...
