My students, who are 18-22, use spotify and YouTube for the most part... But VA's nephews probably think they're old, too. That's the way of the world! In my own case, as I trudge through my 30s and head towards 40, I know I can't pretend to be young and hip anymore.

In the case of VA's nephews, if they are watching YouTube, then they are "paying" in a sense. Youtube generates revenue for artists if they put up their own videos via ads. Therefore, even though viewers aren't paying per se, the ads they see do the paying for them. Of course, some artists don't put their own music up on YouTube and thus make no money off of it. Their mistake, IMHO.
