Kids? Define kids. We talking about pre-teens, teens, young adults, or all of the above? I'll just assume all of the above.
Lost? In what context? I'll just assume that lost = stupid, as in not being able to tell the difference between "good" and "bad" music.
Nevermind the generalizations and stereotypes, but kids today have a preference for a diverse number of styles, so I can't speak for all kids. Though I do believe that a lot of kids aren't mature enough to fully realize or appreciate "good" music when they hear it. These kind of kids are just too impressionable and wet behind the ears. Try getting a kid to listen to Miles Davis and he might just shrug his shoulders, so it's not just hip hop music but all kinds of music. But their preferences evolve and mature over time, so you can't blame kids for being kids. When I was a kid I thought Mystikal was the greatest alive (not really but you get my point).
But none of this is new. Whether in the present or past, kids will be kids. We can't expect too much from them.
