I may get flagged for not fully "audio hardware content" but hopefully not.



I'm going to come out and say it. My generation uses so many garbage ways to listen to audio. There I said it, and I will never take it back (lol).



I feel I am part of a very small group of teens that value good quality audio. Maybe it is because I am raised right (my father is an audiophile) and I have a little bit more selective taste when it comes to audio, but overall I feel my gripes are quite justified. Teens are shelling out hundreds of dollars on beats headphones or on some pretty meh Bluetooth speakers. Teens oh and ah at things like this, but I just scoff. It's so overrated and so hyped up that teens get almost forced into buying these products because "everyone else has one". Yeah I never chose that path.

Heck I shelled out 200 for a pair of pretty decent shure ear buds, and then 400 for some very nice krk studio monitors. When my dad was going to get rid of his old Onkyo amp I jumped on the opportunity to use it myself.



I think my biggest gripe is just that teens don't appreciate good quality audio. My dad told me stories of how he would save up just so he could get a new vinyl record system for himself every 2-3 years. He loved good quality audio when he was a teen. I'm just not sure what has happened.



Sorry if this seemed like a whole "rage filled" thread about teens and audio, but I think it just needed to be expressed.



Now I'm wondering what you think about this as well?
