Default Generation Gap?

So I was on the road a lot last weekend and had a lot of time to think to myself. One of the little topics I got on was about music so I thought I'd share and see what you all think.

So the thought came from a couple observations I have made in the past couple months. I have gone to a few concerts recently and have noticed that a really high majority of the patrons that attend are of the age range between 15 and 18. Looking at this site's demographics thread, a good majority here are of the same age range. On my station, when a good group of people tune in at the same time, it's many times a group of friends that are again, the same 15 - 18 year old window. This isn't said as a complaint by any means. Truth be told, I think Jibs, Elt, and Alejo rock and they fit into that age range I'm talking about.

So I started thinking, what happens between the ages of 19 and 23 that has people losing that hardcore interest in music? I have a couple theories but I thought I'd see what you all came up with first. I am one of like five people I have noticed over the age of 25 on this site. What's up with that? Xio, Shan, and 2Tone? Have any thoughts? With Rock and Lunch in that middle area... what's it like at your age with your appreciation for music? All your others in the younger bracket? What makes you so interested in music at this point in your life?
