My survey of Millennials, and near Millennials (bracketing either side of the age range) finds an emphasis on Spotify, and just what we might call "background listening" - or maybe we should call it "Ear bud Envelopment" as they often use sound to create a sort of acoustic enclosure around them while walking into traffic, etc.  I bet they just pick something they like and let "The System" pick similar music.

 

However, just this am I told a 22 y.o woman to get a copy of Kind of Blue from the library and listen - she recognized the name Miles Davis but not the album.  I now realize she may not even own a CD player...

 

As the ancient Chinese Sage Heraclitus said "You cannot keep stepping into the same music streams over & over again."
