Tons of amazing music with totally new sounds comes from people 16-20 years old. For the right person, it doesn't take a decade.

So these people just woke up one day and knew exactly how to make music?

And I bet they started at 10 or 12. I know I did.

Also, "tons" is amazingly overstated. Very few of those 16 year olds are producing "good" music that appeals beyond their immediate demographic, and that's to say nothing of how low of standards many youth demographics have.
