That is only true of the past 20 years or so of the music industry's history.
I would sit and listen to music on my own, or with friends in a non-passive setting - every day as a kid. That was only 15 years ago.
Tell a musician in an orchestra that music is only listend to passively. It's so unbelievably offensive to the art, and so remarkably untrue.
> You can listen to music while playing games! Music is here to stay.
If they are able to be listened to while playing video games, maybe. What kind of garbage music would that include, and what beautiful and culturally-essential music would that exclude?
- Axsuul 9y agoI never said music was only listened to passively, "typically" was what I aforementioned. Typically we are driving to work, working out, cooking while listening to music. It's not too often we are at venues where it is indeed an active activity. Kids are probably listening to just as much music (I have younger siblings in grade school, n=2) but they're also more pre-occupied nowadays with other activities while consuming it. > If they are able to be listened to while playing video games, maybe.

We don't know and we can't assume the music is garbage just because one isn't giving it the full attention it deserves.
