Younger people tend to listen to their music at ear damaging levels, whereas you probably do not.

I had a weird run-in with a kid 2 weeks ago... at the midway rest stop of a century. The bathrooms required riding on a little bit of sidewalk and then across a bunch of grass. Too far to walk and I was too lazy anyway. Regardless, I was meandering back at a very slow pace and some young man was riding towards me while staring intently at his phone. I barked at him "Pay attention!" and he looked up and very meekly said "Thank you".... kind of funny, and I mostly appreciate it because people get so angry these days when they're corrected.
