I don’t have kids, but it’s accurate for a lot of people I know. I know people who find themselves with 20 years’ worth of music they missed and have to catch up on.

A lot of people drop out of music fandom altogether when they get married and have kids.

Some of them come back when the kids are older and they can start going to gigs again, which is why some of the 80s bands (such as IQ and Marillion) have seen a revival of their fortunes in recent years.
