Everyone is talking about being forced into music as a kid, but I think another factor is the talent gap. Just like steroids messes with people's body image, hearing nothing but the best musicians on the planet perfectly quantized and auto tune means the gap between a beginner (or even intermediate) and all the music we hear is immense. Music isn't as communal anymore unless you have a friend or family that plays. I find it difficult to find an on ramp to playing with people. I don't know what good enough is because all I've been hearing in every song since I was 5 has been "perfect".
