A lot of truth to that. For better or worse, music is of less interest to young humans these days.

A lot of truth to that. For better or worse, music is of less interest to young humans these days.
When I was a kitten, "what kinda music do you like?" was the standard ice-breaker when seeking to get acquainted with someone, and the answer you got often gave you a pretty good clue about the kind of cat you were dealing with. For humans, you probably didn't even need to ask, you could tell by the way they dressed.
This is so true. In junior high, we walked with friends to and from school and talked music a lot. Once or twice a week we went to the record store near us to check out new releases, look through posters, and, most importantly for junior high schoolers on budget, visit the cut-out racks!
Teens still define themselves by music. I work with them for a living. They now wear AirPods ALL the time. You guys are describing alternative too; you don't remember that 80s and 90s the majority of white kids were listening to pop garbage. Check out billboard top 100 every year of 90s. Ace of Base. Preppy kids listening to Conformity music. Today there's plenty of alt kids. Underground hip hop is what I see; Im not around white kids so Im not getting exposed to the Alt Rock of the last decade for the most part.
Never was into punk and cats don't do hairstyles or furstyles or whatever.
It is a trusim int he music business that the music a consumer listens to between the ages of 18 and 21 is the music that human will listen to for the rest of his life.
Not true in my case. I am always discovering new things, rediscovering forgotten things, learning to appreciate things I hadn't liked before, even when I was the target market.
