Kind of a bourgeois question but whatever. People do actually listen to these radio stations. They will actively seek out radio stations that really do just play the same five or ten rock hits from the seventies, maybe mixed with some modern garbage. Why do they do this? What is going through their minds on the conscious and unconscious levels?
I feel like that’s sort of what it is for me, I used to hang out with friends after school or my siblings and listen to music, we’d share stuff and get into new things that way. We aren’t able to all get together like that anymore with everyone’s responsibilities and living different places. And I don’t trust youtube or bloggers to tell me what’s good.
I used to go any old cheap show at this tiny venue when I was in my 20s. The venue totally didn’t survive 2020, so I can’t just blame getting old and busy lol
