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 old but ages ago, venues changed their contracts around so they get all the money from cd’s sold at concerts. Until I found that out, I did sometimes buy them to support the band. I also sometimes bought downloads from Bandcamp, which apparently went evil a year or so ago. Idr the specifics though, except a lot of staff got sacked.
