[QUOTE="JD8, post: 3172722, member: 24"] I'll say that "kids" never significantly drove gunshow numbers and sales. The Wanne has been going downhill in quality vendors for years. Got really bad in the second Obama administration IMO. For many in Tulsa, the gunshops are so good (IMO) that unless you're looking for something rare, you're better off not going. Even if you are looking for something rare, it seems that vendors are trying to make their mortgage off one sale. I used to know of a few good mag vendors that would come from Texas every year. I'd buy $200+ worth of mags from him every time, he also carried all sort of grips. Stopped coming. C&S used to show up and I'd pick up 1911 parts. Stopped coming. Some holster and knife guys I'd always look for..... again.... stopped coming. I'll say it's the internet causing the demise because the vendor can sell and ship without hauling all their product to one place. The consumer has the ability to get EXACTLY what you want and not pay through the nose for it. Surely there are deals walking around but it's nothing like it used to be. JMO. To the rest... From what I've seen......"Millennials" do more live music than even my generation. You can look at large live music festivals for reference, SXS is HUGE now, Austin City Limits had to add another weekend and they still sellout, couple this with the fact that band have to tour nowadays because lucrative record deals have gone bye bye. As far as motorcycles go, I don't know much but damn they are expensive now. Probably has a LOT to do with a lack of following. Seems the "car" scene is still going strong. [/QUOTE]
