Excellent comment. I completely agree, music has just ceased to be relevant as the voice of the younger generation. Youtube, social media, video games, and the internet have all replaced music as an outlet for teenagers to vent and express their dreams, frustrations and desires. Listening to rap or rock is just not a way to be a teenage rebel these days.

The internet has also fragmented the public, mega-artists are dead. One hit manufactured wonders rule the airwaves and musicians now cater to a small but loyal group of fans that follow them in the depths of internet and social media.

All hail the internet ;).
