There is a thread here with that info.
4 % ! About what i expected in 18-30 group
3.7% are using roon as an alternative offered by their 32% parents instead of grounded punishment!!! 
Which leaves roon fauna with only 0.3% young enthusiasts.

For classical music, AM has the best curation in the business. Maybe for other genres itâs different.

The question is whether people will begin to use Roon at a certain age (roughly 40). If not, Iâm afraid Roon is a dying proposition.
I can see that. For hip hop, it was tidal. But tidal excelled at other genres too better than Spotify, AM or Qobuz. Indie, alternative, folk, rock and electronic I preferred Tidal. Spotify is great at Pop.

I know this heresy here but I just set my DAC to 192 and leave it. Iâm 65 with mild tinnitus so whatâs some zero padding to me?

I believe it has more to do with the passion for all things audio that with the age. It is almost impossible to get/build/have that kind of passion (as a youngster) these days, when everything around you itâs as superficial and about convenience as it can getâŠ
Not to mention most people I know listen to music as a way to âfill the airâ, not to actually listen.

That, to me, is one of the saddest things Iâve seen happen to music over the past two decades. It just doesnât occupy the same space in our society as it once did. For most people, itâs relegated to wallpaper now; something you listen to passively while doing a dozen other things.

Itâs a product. Bought by different people for different reasons and purposes. Nothing I owe anything to as long as I pay for it.
Everything is a product, of course. You donât âoweâ anything to anyone once youâve paid for a good or service. Reducing music to that level of commodity without the emotional interest is what has changed, and, that, to me, is an overall negative development.
Weâre not talking about a washing machine, for crying out loud.
Agreed. But itâs an individual decision if to adore and respect or simple to use as in play in an elevator. Nothing wrong with both.

Anyone can do whatever they want with their money. Someone could buy an incredible bottle of wine and pour it down the drain if they felt like it but that doesnât change the fact that if you love wine, itâll still make you sad.
Also, if all art continues further down the path of productisation, in general (not just music) we will all be worse off for it.
That is just my opinion and I wouldnât blame anyone for doing whatever they like with their own hard earned money.
Isnât part of the (off topic) truth, that this has been happening for a long time? Contemporary art markets being rigged to push insane prices. Art being used to store money within and locked away in tax free havens? NFTs to touch the newest cray âŠ
Music being done by an âindustryâ. Those innocent days if they ever were real date back to the Stone Age maybe.
The only real and genuine artists we probably find in the streets. Not on Tidal or Vinyl.
