How has streaming changed our discovery of new music?
The way in which we experience music (and other media naturally too), has become irredeemably alien to that of prior generations. Everything is at your fingertips. So convenient it can inconvenience. So much choice that at times you can almost feel overwhelmed, opting to scurry back to your playlist of guilty pleasures instead. I feel that this “New World” of streaming can at times discourage the curious from exploring out with their all too familiar comfort zone. As a self-confessed and typecast with laser precision thirty something year old, from the latter end of the physical ownership-to-digital ownership generation, I admit to feeling somewhat nostalgic for this unashamedly analogue period of time.
