I don’t think there is anything groundbreaking here.
As others have said, the biggest story here is just that people don’t like classical music. It is a matter of preference.
If Lil Wayne or whatever the kids are listening to nowadays was standing in the Metro beat boxing, or whatever it is rappers do nowadays, more people would have stopped to take note.
Also, as others have said, people are in a hurry. I personally don’t appreciate being inundated with music against my will and being expected to pay for it (though the musicians in DC seem to be understanding and not pushy, unlike the bums).
What I think some posters here may not realize, especially if they don’t have a lot of dealings with big cities and their public transit, is that musicians trying to make a buck are a dime a dozen on Metro.

Lil Wayne gets more exposure than Josh (I think that is his name). But I doubt most of those people would recognize him, didn’t look like too many younger people going to work at that moment.
