Fault of millennials pushing streaming because they were too lazy to pay for a CD. They will still blame everyone but themselves for this, of course

>>127447043
>muh millenials
Rent free.

>>127447043
Based retard. Free will always trump every other option for any generation.

>>127446974 (OP)
Spotify. That's what's wrong with music culture.

>>127447043
I don't think it has anything to do with streaming or generations. My Gen X parents have told me the same shit as that tweet. They'd put on the radio and the radio decides they they'd listen to, it's no different. They knew songs not arists. They were too busy having sex and smoking weed in the 70-80s to give a shit about who was plucking a string. Pretty much just like people today.

Funny enough my parents also watch TV like this. They prefer to watch scheduled TV than anything on-demand. In fact they base their whole days around what will be on TV at certain times. It's just what their generation is used to. They want to be told when and what to watch or listen to.

>>127447101
>Free will always trump every other option for any generation.
And this is why the retarded masses deserve to get streaming algo slop shit pushed down their throats

>>127447173
For the record only three of these aren't about consooooming

>>127447179
Well yeah, the average retard needs to be pacified with background noise at all times. Sub-100s hate silence and decision making.

>>127446974 (OP)
There's a guy I know from work who is essentially powered by algorithms. His music taste is the most entry level shit imaginable, the only games he plays are Halo and GTA (playing games in general is cringe but it highlights my point), the only movies he is aware of are Marvel slop etc. It's like he focussed all of his brain power into his job and needs the machines to do all the remaining thinking for him. If I asked him to name 5 bands of a certain genre he'd just use ChatGPT to get an answer since he loves AI as well.

>>127447043
White replacement is the (((industry))) response to piracy

We are being ethnically cleansed for the sin of knowing our way around torrents

>>127447347
you know people like that existed in yester-decade too? that only knew mainstream stuff. and before the internet you actually had to make an effort to hunt down non-mainstream media

It was usually lame mom's and dad's or something. Reslly lame zombie brained people. Now its people of all ages pretty much

>>127447391
What I can't decide if whether or not there were more or less of them in the old days or now. The argument being that because there was no widespread internet use there was more people getting all of their tastes from the same places vs because there is widespread internet more people could be controlled by the algorithm. If nothing else the speed of transit of information is much faster now so it feels like everyone becomes obsessed with the same thing at the same time. Fucking I remember a day when literally everyone at work was talking about the hawk tuah thing and I was just thinking "what the fucking hell are these people going on about" until one of them explained, and then I didn't get why it was supposed to be noteworthy.

2. Paying a significant amount of attention to music is fucking gay and nothing to be proud of

>>127447043
>they were too lazy to pay for a CD
That's literally all we had though. Are little zoom zooms this retarded?

>>127447628
In my twenties, music (you know, art created by other people) was how I expressed myself. It was a huge part of my identity. I liked music specific music to fit myself into a box, though I'd never admit it at that age. Getting into my forties, I no longer care. Listen to music more than ever, but just don't care about it. Get a melody stuck in my head, even if it's from a pop song I would never admit to liking when younger, I'll try to play on guitar when I get home from work.
Music is no longer an obsession, it's just something I enjoy, and it's never sounded better. This zoomer bitch knows whats up.

you ain't doing shit faggot

>>127447748
Millennials were not in college when Napster launched. Sean Parker was born in 1979.
>But they used it!!
You're confusing cause with effect.

>>127447794
they come here to gather chud tears or something

>>127447797
Millennial use of it popularized the idea of music being interchangeable music files rather than a physical object that you own. And millennials completely embraced this the moment they realized they could own nothing and be happy. All of this is your fault

>>127447794

I'm saying this is the attitude of the holier than thou type poster. Speaking for myself, the most type is the one saying "You are not mature unless you do [some arbitrary shit I just made up]"

>>127447794
Exactly. I would've made a point to say otherwise when this site hit high points of outside visitors like during gamergate fappening or the election, but 4chan in 2025 is now so fucking dead the more well-adjusted people moved to greener pastures and all that's left is the addicted autists stuck inside this festering corpse of a site

>>127447794
nope i know i'm not. i've actually had sex. also i don't have meltdowns and concoct grand conspiracies when i encounter people that have different opinions/perspectives from my own. i'm just in a rut and have gotten extremely lazy

>>127447043
The only difference between the person in that anecdote and every normalfag that just listened to the radio for the past several decades is that there wasn’t a DJ popping in every five minutes to tell them what they listened to and then the weather.
There are tons of people who don’t give a shit about music beyond just hearing it. There are also tons of people who don’t even listen to music at all, which is crazy to me.

>>127446974 (OP)
I do this with classical radio

>>127447839
You know of this site, its already over for you. No action will be able to change this

>>127447838
The addicted autists are those same outsiders who got hooked on picking on "inferiors" from their high tower of normie consensus. Twitter's userbase is more transgressive than 4chan's.

>>127447368
HAHAHAHAHAHA

>>127447891
Nuance has to be a White-only virtue

>>127447809
No, the fault is with the industry. CDs were a shitty value proposition, they were overpriced, had crappy inserts with minuscule text, and plastic cases that broke easily. Labels largely stopped selling singles, since they'd rather sell you a $20 album. Once the means emerged for plebs to download the one track they liked, that model was dead in the water.

Millennial hipsters also single-handedly brought vinyl back into vogue, and are the reason you still see record stores in cities. So you don't know what you're talking about.

I'm convinced all of the anons claiming that people 20-40 years ago on average didn't know what bands they were listening to have never talked to someone older than 35 about music in their lives

>>127447891
HOLY BASED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

>>127447891
I'm just joking. or am I? I mean. Media pandering shifting from white men to everybody else did coincide with the rise of piracy. White men are just lousy consumers in general.

Who is Timmy and why do so many foreigners hate him?

the persecution complex of /pol/shits is mindblowing. it'd be less pathetic if they actually did something about it IRL but instead they spend 15 hours/day on this site spamming soijaks and frogs and thinking they'll be written about in history books in 50 years.

>>127449191
that's partially true, but that's not the whole truth

for example, a lot of people wouldn't want to buy a f1 race car, even if it cost the same as a ford van or whatever. there are different models of laptops and smartphones and other kinds of pcs. there are different models of headphones. and so on.

>>127448143

ehh the internet opened the technological window for file sharing, i don't think generation differences had much to do with it; barely anyone of any age uses physical media for listening today

There's a balance between your virginity and the cretiny of this normgroid's behavior.

the hobby board that calls you a virgin for caring

yes you are a virgin if you lose your mind over the fact that someone doesn't make music their personality.

>>127453341
good to know at least one of us got to feel like a big boy today!

you act like this is a normie website and we're all pussy slaying chads. no woman is gonna fuck you because you listen to radiohead or whatever dogshit you're into.

I have friends that think knowing non mainstream stuff and being into it is fucking weird. Theyre so focused on work and I guess more important shit that having a hobby or liking lesser known shit is basically for retards

In the age of CDs we were pirating music. You had to know what it was to search it on KaZaA.

>>127447809
I don't think you have a full understanding of why we embraced this. If you went to fucking Target or whatever you had a limited selection of music to choose from. The alternative was going to FYE in the mall where they had more adventurous selections but they knew they were the only place you could find them so they charged $18 for that shit. The internet changed things. I could listen to whatever I wanted. I got into Drum & Bass. I couldn't convince my mom to buy me a turntable and buy import vinyl singles from the UK. But I could listen to the new releases that just came out that week that I burned to CDs. You damn millennials destroyed the music industry by listening to whatever you want instead of buying American Idiot at kmart!!! That's what this shit sounds like. It's missing the point. Passive consumption of music always existed. Some people were happy to just listen to the radio. Those shitify algorithm normies are just the modern equivalent.

>>127453388
you're not talking to the right women

>>127453472
Worse thing, is when you're pratically forced to pretend to like obscure/weird shit, because it is "critically acclaimed", so you won't have "entry level" music taste.

I said it in a hyperbolic way, I meant to say there is pressure. Thinking about it, how can someone who doesn't specialize (isn't a fan) in any single genre (looking at fartano) judge the quality of an album ?, I dislike death metal, and certainly wouldn't try to opine on it...

For all you know, this person might have some really niche interest you know nothing about. Being into music is not a rarity. Most people like music even if they're not constantly babbling about it.

Nothing is wrong with her really. She has her own interests and music is not particularly one of them.

If you are not interested in cooking, cars or whatever and you went to a board that spergs over those things you would also be called a basic bitch because you just eat whatever tastes good. You don't need to be that kind of retard to show appreciation for music. You can understand not all things resonate the same for all people, stop posturing about your interests making them a personality substitute and just enjoying what you enjoy

>>127449792

Younger people are more in the process of identity formation. Trying to figure out how to relate to society and the world. Older people stop caring because they know what they like, and if they don't like it, they're not interested in it. A young adult might be more likely to be horrified at something like Sigma Boy because he's trying to escape his adolescence and make a statement or something, while an older person could be like "catchy song, cute kids."
