But you neglect how unsocial and how uneffected by proximity of like minded peers the Internet has made things. A lot of kids favorite stuff is just other kids singing famous songs on YouTube. There's stuff that has caught on, obviously, but a surprising amount of the market share goes to whatever a kid bounces on on YouTube with no concern about anything except if it catches their attention. Extreme fragmentation means that weird interesting and unknown **** is a part of the norm. There's beauty in all kinds of things older people almost always disregard without even consideration.

High school kids don't care about music? Bull****. They identify with it the most.
