These images were used to give a sense of how young people are raised today as opposed to 50 years ago. The ways in which we are raised will impinge on the norms and codes of conduct we are used to. Venues ought to adapt to the social norms of a new generation to provide an atmosphere, a code of conduct, in which young people can feel comfortable. If new music is to reach a broader audience, then the platforms on which new music can reach that audience must respond to a new generation instead of continuing with dated norms and alienating customs.
