These kids today, everything is about hitting a vocal home run.
Meaning of the quote
The quote suggests that young people these days are more focused on making a big impression with their voice, like hitting a "home run" in a baseball game, rather than simply enjoying the process of learning and improving their skills. The idea is that they are more concerned with getting attention and recognition than developing their true abilities.
