In Reply to: Is listening to music even popular anymore? posted by xrayspex78 on October 27, 2014 at 20:45:58:
I agree with Awe-d-o-file, what has popularity got to do with it. I was listening to Ravi Shanker when I was in high school (that was pre-Beatles) and was probably the only one in my high school class of 730 that did. So what?
There are some souls who listen to "popular" music which I never do - IMO shouting in tune (with the benefit of pitch correction) is not singing. Does that mean they don't listen to music or does it mean I don't listen to music?
I find that a lot of young people including teens listen to the Rock 'n Roll of the 50's and 60's. When you were a teen, did you listen to music that was popular 50 years before you were born?
I suspect there are many on this forum who don't listen to music but rather listen to their stereos. Hell, I'm guilty of that at times. Perhaps that is why many musicians can give a rat's ass about "Audiophile" equipment. Listening to music and being an audiophile is certainly not synonymous.
