In the Damon Krukowski “Power” episode, he discusses about the relationship between music and its consumers in the digital era. Back in the day, music wasn’t accessible like how it is currently. Starting off, going to the record store and buying music was the only way you can attain your favorite tunes, but with that in itself, that was an experience. you would go in and see a variety of art displayed everywhere, art you haven’t seen before. You were exposed to many different genres, songs, and artistry from all over the world. Comparing it to today, now things are way more efficient and simplified. With the expansion of big streaming music platforms, music that you enjoy is accessible at your fingertips whenever you want it. In these streaming services, you can search and listen to songs under a minute and be provided recommendations of other artists you may like in that category.
