How come zoomers aren't as musically diverse as they could be, considering music is basically free with YouTube? They just stick to modern trap or pop stuff (and Radiohead lmao), or if they're among the alt scene kiddos they listen to (pop-)punk and alt metal like Tool. Some also gravitate towards IDM/ambient or video game stuff, but that's a huge minority. Do they never branch out? Will music really be dead in a few years?

because music isn't about listening to new sounds , it's about having a cool aesthetic

Less zoomers play instruments than previous generations. Playing an instrument usually gives you a more developed taste in music. Without that they have no idea what good music is, so they consume slop.

Zoomers have the attention span of a goldfish. It's rather hard to be creative when you can't focus on something for even 30 seconds without shiny visual static from subway surfers or something playing in your peripheral vision.

I'm not going to sit here and tell you that I'm some master aficionado of music, because I'm not. I'm a mid 30s white guy that likes classic rock and orchestral strings. I'm about as boring as it gets. But millennials and older didn't grow up with instant gratification slop content. I remember being told to go outside and stay there until it started getting dark. I actually interacted with everyone on my street to various degrees. My parents wouldn't know where I was for hours at a time. You had to create entertainment and engagement for yourself. You had to learn how to interact and push social boundaries. Zoomers don't do that. They literally don't interact outside of apps on their phone. They don't have to think about things critically because they have no problems to solve. They don't even have real boredom. All they need to do is keep scrolling and getting mad at shit on their phone.

Look at your boomer relatives and you'll see the other face of the same coin. People who have no connection to reality because they've been drip fed brainrot engagement bait content for the past decade. The difference is that that's all most zoomers have ever known.

I've got some friends that work in delivery logistics, and all of them have said that zoomers are substantially more prone to getting into crashes than other non-foreigner demographics when accounting for other variables. The 40 year old drivers will sit in bumper to bumper traffic for 6 hours going through New York City. Dashcam footage will show that they'll glance down at their phone when they're at a complete stop to cycle through playlists. Meanwhile the zoomers will get into minor fender benders because they literally can't go 2 minutes without touching their phone.

I'm a zoomer and like a lot of my friends know this guy, like most people I'm good friends with listen to Billy Joel and like no one listens to trap. You're looking at the majority, do you think the majority of boomers liked King Crimson? No they liked crap like Journey, go talk to people with good taste man.

completely disagree. the thing i enjoy most about music and what has given me the drive to actively listen to music for well over a decade is the desire to hear something ive never heard before. i would even suggest that those who listen to music for a "cool aesthetic" do not really like music.
