Personally, I agree with original claim. This article doesn't cite any research per se, but has some anecdata from people in the industry. https://www.newyork

  Based on what I see, the concept of "genre" is gone for a few years - you just listen to whatever spotify or apple music or your app of choice recommends, and it fluctuates across a set of genres, but it's not as "fixed" as it used to be, in past decades. Fandom/identification with specific artists remains as strong as ever though - you see a lot of "Swifties" or fans of a specific rapper, for instance, and they use it as a form of identity. You see fewer "metal heads" or "classical music erudites". All anecdotal, of course. Would love to see studies on this.
