I geniunely miss the communal experience of sharing music. When your friend would burn you a mix CD or when a person at store would tell "If you like XYZ album you gotta check 123 album, it's soo good!". Going somewhere and your friend plugs in their shitty aux cord into their MP3 player that stored like 18 songs. Getting a copy of some dank-ass music from a friends thumbdrive.
Music sharing is bigger than ever now, but it feels very lonesome. We don't get reviews from regular katz anymore, we get them from big name social media folks and the few relevant online magiznes. I geniunely like a lot of modern music from multiple genres, but I miss how social music used to be. It feels very isolated, that we like what we listen to but don't share it in a real sense anymore.
I miss the nerds at the indy stores. This girl was elated that I was buying a zounds cd. I only knew of them through a much cooler friend. She rattled off 10 bands I should check out and to let her know if they didn't have it she could order it. Then she picked up the other cd I was buying: the $winging utters$. She would have been less offended if I punched her in the face.
