Well written and I couldn’t agree more.
WARNING: Contains expletives.
Kids of today, let me tell you about something that we had many moons ago. It may seem like a foreign concept, but please take your Ritalin and try to follow along.
Once upon a time, there was this thing called a music album. It came in various physical formats including vinyl records, compact discs and tapes. A ‘band’ or ‘group’ would make a collection of songs and put it on an ‘album.’ When you bought this album, you could listen to the whole thing. While not all albums were great in their entirety, you got to listen to all the songs until you knew them all – the lengths, lyrics, bridges, choruses, hooks. You listened to the album as the artist intended, because some albums had some sort of progression or story to tell. Some bands even made albums that the tracks flowed together, creating a soundscape – a soundtrack to life. It was sometimes a rollercoaster of emotions, and often times you couldn’t imagine a pause in the music.
Back then, you’d say “I’m a Pink Floyd fan. I love the Beatles, Wu-Tang, etc.”
You categorized your music by the artist. The songs you liked were on an album.

Well written article I agree but help me out here….what’s a Ritalin? What’s emo skater? Duh.
I can remember a time when songs came on black vinyl records, either in singles which were called Short Plays, or albums called Long Plays or…..you got it, LPs. The upside was that they sounded great but the downside was that they developed scratches just like CDs, and skipped badly when you played them. Also I remember once when some wise guy decided to personalise a single ( Jim Reeves’ Snowflake it was too) by painting the family name on it and put it out to dry in the sun and it just curled over at the sides and became unplayable. Ouch. At least mp3s on hard drives don’t do that!

When people start a sentence with ‘Kids of today…’ they reminds me of my grandmother.
Man!!! those were the days when I only wore torn jeans, black T-shirts and always had a checked shirt around my waist. We would listen to the Guns N Roses cassette until the tape had stretched…
But sooner or later your favourite song will be on Classic MTV… we do things differently from out predecessors, and so will the generations after us…
So till that time comes, all we can do is live life to the fullest and hope we never grow old, …just older…
