Nothing to rebel against? Ha!
I think the next generation ('Post-Millenials'?) might rebel against 24/7/365 Über-surveillance of every tiny aspect of your life by (anti)social media, against constantly staring at a screen of some type or another against EVERYTHING being Alternative Alternative Alternative to the Alternative, against EVERYONE being pierced & tattooed, maybe even against Rap.

I'm not entirely free of the music 'bubble' I mentioned - I also have 'special' relationships, not all of them good, with the musical styles I grew up with, but I do try to broaden my horizons by listening to current acts, and once every blue moon or so, I even find one I like.

The internet, YouTube & such certainly do make it MUCH more difficult to stand out, any bozo with a webcam who can strum 3 chords, work a synthesizer or click together some Playstation music can be heard instantly by hundreds of millions.
