The amount of music available to hear today is galactic. It is largely free. It is omnipresent. And it comes at us from many many many sources. And it can be easily and immediately obtained from the phone in your pocket.

Young people drown themselves in it to the point of boredom and then they need some sort of novel fix to up the stimulation. So they search, sort through and move on. Additionally music is competing for their attention with their texting, social media interactions, and misc things that catch their attention such as Youtube videos, Tiktok and Bernie Sanders memes.

The genie aint going back in the bottle. It is re-configuring brains and central nervous systems and the world at this time. Imho...the interconnected world of today is magnificent and wondrous, but there have been many unintended or , at the least, unwanted consequences.
