I’m 40, and when I was a teenager, EVERY band had CDs. And I know a lot of music has shifted to digital. So much so that I heard Best buy stopped selling CDs. Presumably because nobody buys them.

So I wonder what musicians sell besides t-shirts and posters at concerts. Do the kids have ANY CDs? Do they buy mp3’s? Do they just use pandora and spotify? Do they even own their own music?

I’ve given up on trying to understand the lingo. Other generations lingo sounds stupid to me, but still understandable based on context.

I have NO idea what a skibifibi toilet is…sounds like a toilet after some taco bell and untalented jazz, but maybe I can try to understand their thought process on media consumption.

    I know some people who will buy vinyls but that’s as far as it goes for physical media in music. Music CDs are pretty much foreign objects in 2024 and people just stream instead.

    A CD would be cool, but where am I ever going to use it? I don’t have a CD player at all…but I do have an Apple Music subscription. A vinyl at least is large and works better as a decoration. Don’t really see the point in using a CD.

    If I want to support the artist I’m seeing, I just buy clothing instead.

    P.S. we don’t know what a skibidi toilet is either. Ask gen alpha.

      I’m still mad at the lack of available disk drives to the average individual these days, and now they’re taking my fucking 3.5mm jacks!
