Wouldn't matter whether the audio and video materials are being consumed via radio and TV or streaming, the material is intended for children and young people.
Some adults might like it. Probably a lot of them.
But it isn't intended for them.

Gen X adults complaining about MTV is akin to complaining about Peppa Pig.

You are adults. You are not supposed to know these performers.
The materials they record and perform are not supposed to interest you. It is for kids and young people.
You are not supposed to like it.
You are not supposed to be interested in MTV anymore. It is for kids and young people.
You are adults. You are not supposed to be interested in this stuff.

When my fiancee, who is about six years younger, is listening to a female artist on spotify or whatever, I always assume it is Rihanna until told otherwise.
