I thought that too, but it appears to only slightly be the case: https://www.statista.com/statistics/252185/radios-weekly-reach-in-the-us-by-age-and-gender/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/252185/radios-weekly-rea...
About 4 or 5 years ago I was walking on the street and a person who had to have been in his 20s was listening to a song from Meteora. It's a great album, and I certainly listen to stuff from when I was young, or even before I was born. It just struck me.
Edit to add: In case statista paywalls you.
