I’m 40, and when I was a teenager, EVERY band had CDs. And I know a lot of music has shifted to digital. So much so that I heard Best buy stopped selling CDs. Presumably because nobody buys them.
So I wonder what musicians sell besides t-shirts and posters at concerts. Do the kids have ANY CDs? Do they buy mp3’s? Do they just use pandora and spotify? Do they even own their own music?
I’ve given up on trying to understand the lingo. Other generations lingo sounds stupid to me, but still understandable based on context.
I have NO idea what a skibifibi toilet is…sounds like a toilet after some taco bell and untalented jazz, but maybe I can try to understand their thought process on media consumption.
I’m not much younger & I’m not going to read the comments. They’re either ignorant, or they don’t care, or they’ll reflect my opinion. You need to stop & think – how do I get money from my hand directly to the artist(s)?
The artists receive very little from streaming revenue or CD sales (unless onsite at concert, maybe). The recording label eats up a lot of profits. So honestly I’d buy tickets, I’d buy merch at concert, I’d put cash money directly into their hand.
Anything else might be stolen by the venue, the recording label, the third parties, the goddamn United States government, etc etc etc.
