@HauntedOwlbear that's a cool approach, guiding Small Bear into the world of music/games like that 😃
Offline discovering new music would be within the parents scope.. depending on whatever they offer (CD's, cassettes or records), like it always was. Or by radio..
My son has been talking about Rick Ashley lately... because he's mentioned in YouTube clips a lot 😆
I'm not convinced the picture is as bleak as the article makes it. It's up to the parents imo, and not entirely tech related.
