Today, I wrote about "Maps" by Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
@keenan goddamn. I FELT this. Deep, deep, deep in my heart.
Do you think Gen Z feels this way about playlists, as we once did with mix CDs?
@martyday Thanks, buddy. :)
Also, a terrific question! I honestly have no clue and I'd love to ping some Gen Z folks to see how they feel.
Personally, the more accessible music has become, the more insular I've felt about my own consumption. Less about sharing. More disposable.
Perhaps this is a me issue. I'd certainly love to rekindle my love for listening to and curating music.
@keenan I can relate to that.
So much so that I’ve made it a priority this year to listen to more music — as albums — and less shuffling, playlists, etc.
It’s tougher than I expected with a 2024 attention span, but 20-something me would be proud of my efforts.
