This. And I used to teach that age group. They seemed to be very invested in gaming, the opposite sex, celebrities, what their friends were doing, social media and music. Not sure those are the people who give two seconds thought to politics and there were a few who were socially aware and active on some key issues, but in general, nope, they're far too distracted to care enough to even vote.
It takes time and these days, it takes some training to learn discernment in media messaging. Those skills come over time.
Sounds a lot like the entire generation of 20 somethings in my family and their friends.
