When It Comes to Streaming Music Services, Yes, There’s a Generation Gap
Here’s the truth: the older you are, the less likely you are to try any of the new music streaming services. You’re perfectly happy with your CDs, vinyl and digital downloads. However, if you’re under the age of 25, you don’t really see the point in anything physical. Why possess something when you can access it–often for free? Statista frames it this way.

I’m 35 and basically said up yours when the movie industry tried to shove Blu-Ray down our throats. From that point I basically took the streaming or bust approach. Saves a lot on hard drives really. Have had rdio for 2 years now and it pretty much solved all my music needs. The reality is they made streaming easier than illegal downloading at a cost that was palatable. $10 a month and I get all you can eat music with none of the moral issues? Sign me up. If they ever allowed mashups I wouldn’t even need an iTunes library anymore.
