Where have all the Audiophiles gone?

I am 22 years old and I am still not at the top of what I want my system or collection of music to be. I have met very few in my age range that understand the quality music of the past.

I had a 25 year old in one of my classes try to tell me what good quality sound was. I asked for a demonstration. He quickly threw on some 50 dollar sony "bass cans" on top of my ears and cranked up some crappy compressed music. After listening for 30 seconds. I took them off and gave my opinion. "Way to bright with the highs no mid range and way to much bass." He quickly replied that I did not know what I was talking about and told me to come to his car after class to hear his two 12's pushing 1000 watts......I kindly passed.

Even in my side job as a car audio installer I have to sometimes explain to people what they really what in a system. I have had people come to me saying they have a unlimited budget and want the best. I kindly ask them a few questions including how do they get there music and in what format is it. After that main question is answered I explain to them how bad that would sound on a high end system. Most understand after some talking and explaining others think I am crazy.

The sad or sometimes funny part is going to a audio store or in some cases best buy and walking into the listening room on a Friday afternoon where you see 16-20 year olds laughing at the high end speakers saying you call that bass. I almost want to tell them you have music all wrong.
