Unlimited Access Changes Emotional Value
We waited for music programs late at night. We saved money for albums. That relationship with music cannot be compared to having 100 million songs available with one click. Unlimited access changes emotional value.
I belong to a generation that truly loved music.
We listened to music. Dedicated our time to listen to music.
Not as background noise. Not as content. As something emotional and identity-shaping.
We waited for music programs late at night on TV. We saved money for albums. We listened to the same songs until we could predict every transition by instinct.
You cannot compare that relationship with music to having 100 million songs available instantly with one click.
Unlimited access changes emotional value.
