Music & Youth

Not only is youth disinterested in CDs. Notwithstanding MP3 players & music downloads, the trend is toward a general loss of interest in music from the teen years on. In young lives music is just background now, eclipsed by a cacaphony of AIM, text messaging, and network chatter at every level. Two dozen teen guests at my daughter's recent 16th birthday were invited to bring music. None did (no gifts either!). I turned on my big stereo and spun one of my daughter's CDs. A few songs later they just turned it off so they could talk, talk, talk. A few years back the odd teenager would show a little curiousity about the big speakers or the tube amps. No more. It's all over now, baby blue.
