RE: Raise your hand if you are under 30...

Pessimism abounds, but reality fights back.

My son got started in his thirties and has put together a respectable mid-fi system. Now his son, who graduates from high school next month, has a the beginnings of the same in his room. Both listen to music on their home's server, CD's. LP's and, on my son's system, cassette and R2R. Both have decent systems in their vehicles. One of my son's first actions after purchasing a 5th wheel was upgrading its sound system.

The wife and I showed our children what music is, they are showing our grandchildren.

While appreciation of music and desire for what we on this site consider good sound may decrease as a percent of the whole population I remain optimistic that there will always be those who want the best. And enough that the best will be produced to meet the demand.
