Oh, please,... stop living in the past. If things really as bad as you describe then I'd already hung myself. Give young people some credit. You act like you and your generation is the last of the great ones. Geez! Go out, spread your wings and you'll find many amazing young musicians with tons of talent and tons of determination to master an instrument.
The only sad thing is people like you that give up on them without even knowing them or to acknowledge their talents.
A second-rate player playing a song about waving a napkin!!! (for crying out loud) is a "talent" in your eyes. You call that "great entertainment". "TOO (yes, that's how it's spelled) HARD" for them to master an instrument? Plenty of these kids outplay you.
Things must be pretty bad where you're living. Music schools must all have been boarded up, the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra will be giving its last (perhaps already happened) performance since they can't find any young players (too hard for them to master an instrument).
Plenty of talent here:
