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.

    Last fall I went to a local event where a bunch of food stalls/stands/trucks gather in the downtown park to sell food. Near an area selling beer they had a local band playing. Someone who had CDs on sale, besides the usual shirt merch. If my debit card was working back then, I would have definitely bought one right away. Not gonna say the event or band because that would immediately tell you where I live with some basic searching.

    Granted, I’m not that young considering I’m in my mid-twenties, but I’ve been recently into CDs. That CD would have made my small collection move up from 3-4 to 4-5 total CDs, even though I’m pretty sure one is just the shittiest reprint from some random company in Florida. Definitely looking into buying more in the future, too.
