  • I guess it depends on where you are but where I live it is mostly due to a lot of elitism and gatekeeping. I (20) semirecently went to a show at a youth center (I think that is what its called in english as well) and chatted a bit with one of the workers afterwards. Sbe told me how younger and especially “less punk” people oftentimes are disliked by the oldheads who then also bemoan the death of the local scene.

    Another factor probably also is the accessibility. Young people are from what I’ve seen more used to big concerts by acts they already know and listen to. And most of the well known punk bands formed in the 80s and 90s who often don’t even exist anymore or are so old and famous that they charge mainstream prices for the tickets.
