merlin: thefakeness: taking drugs to make music to take drugs to sometimes i really miss the 90’s. not because of all the drugs, but because i like almost all of these bands a lot and nothing sounds like this anymore Or we’re listening to music in a much less obsessive/repetitive way as we get older. I’m sure I listened to Ride’s “Going Blank Again” at least once a day for almost a year, on my walkman. You couldn’t carry more than 3 hours worth of music with you comfortably at the time, so we ended up listening to what we liked over and over. Do you still do that with your iPod today, same album on repeat for months ? Music isn’t worse today, it could be the way that we engage with it that has gone worse.
