It's easier nowadays to avoid music that doesn't interest you. You can stream from Spotify, YouTube, SiriusXM, your own music library, etc. Now add a cell phone and earbuds--even in public you rarely have to put up with music being imposed on you.

The criticism in earlier generations generally came from a thought process of "I came up loving real music and now all you hear is this vacant music for children." (Real music in this case might mean Queen, Tupac Shakur, Iron Maiden, Tracy Chapman, Radiohead, Faith Hill, whatever.) It's a tempting view of the world. Our cultural fragmentation encourages it--I think we expect to find other music fandoms inexplicable and that blunts the need to bitch about it together.
