I started noticing this many years ago. Even worse, it seems that the idea of just sitting down and doing nothing but listening to music has become mostly an alien concept. Music is no longer standalone, it seems, but is a soundtrack to accompany some other activity.
It's such a shame, as people who aren't willing or able to just sit down and listen to excellent music are depriving themselves of a very powerful and important experience.
> For kids these days, music is dead because they’ve never truly experienced it. We made it irrelevant through videos and overabundance, and diminished the experience with terrible speakers.
Hit the nail on the head here. Preach it, brother.
