I notice that now, more than ever before, new upcoming artists' and alternative music is heavily pop-oriented, synthesized, and digital.

Is it just easier for them or do Gen Z not have the fondness for guitar that dominated the 1980s to the 2010s?

I think most zoomers feel like they just don't have the time for that on top of whatever else they have going on.

I guarantee you that for every lost sale over time there's probably like 3 kids out there who have looked at an instrument and had a thought of "just maybe..." before banishing it because the time and energy costs alone to even begin sounding good at most instruments is gonna be daunting to someone who feels like their plate was already loaded.
