I would half agree, but would add that your generation in particular seems too proud to listen which is the other half of the disconnect.
This is true, im nearly 50 but still try to listen to the new stuff.
Generally I dont like it or it sounds like something i have heard 20 times before before but theres no harm in spending 3 minutes listening to a song you havent heard before. On the rare occasions i do find something i like it is hard to get any of my generation to give it a try for some reason.
One thing i have noticed is i find a new song i like but i get sick of it very quickly, i guess thats an age thing too. Reality is the latest hip hop superstar isnt making music for me or my peers.
Like most people i usually listen to songs that came out when i was in my prime but i do like talking about new music with all my younger nieces and nephews, occasionally they even think i am cool if i know of some supposedly hip new band or DJ and can name a song.
And having a 9 year old daughter means i am up to date with all the latest commercial pop rubbish but even then i hear a rare gem among the trash.
