Well clearly the majority doesn't prefer seinen over shounen since it's less popular...

You can easily guess from the current state of anime fans that it’s never gonna happen, but does it matter?
No.

I feel like seinen and shonen are almost interchangeable the majority of the time, but even at that
I think a good chunk of anime fans are looking for some light-hearted adventure with a couple of bad ass fights which i what the shonen is jam packed with.

If we get more actual good Seinen like Kiss x Sis I can definitely see it happening

Probably not, but it does have a far better chance of doing so than Shoujo and Josei though.

No.

Unlike seinen, shounen isn't boring, mundane, tiring trash.

No, that's highly unlikely and improbable.

No shounen has more of an appeal for anime fans cuz they are all 15 and can’t read adult books cuz their parents say no

This will only ever happen if suddenly there is a mass decline in young male viewers specifically in Japan that consume shounen. If something like this ever happened this doesn't really mean that Seinen Anime will automatically take it's place either.

I doubt it ever will
shonen fans outnumber seinen fans by a lot
a comparison would be, think of how many views videos made for kids get on youtube compared to people on the more mature side

It's Highly Unlikely That Seinen Will Surpass Shounen.

Shonen appeals to teenagers and young kids, which in general watch a lot more anime then adults do. Seinen is tough for anyone who's not an adult to watch so it probably won't ever surpass it.
My waifu is the most wonderful waifu. Mai Valentine.

We're freaking out that we're running out of time, but to do what? Should i stop and think of that? Is there something i could do to slow it down? Live in a day for once, instead of watch it sprinting by
