I was just looking at a torrent of hit songs from 2000-2005, and it occurred to me that first off that was nearly 7 years ago, but it also reminded me of a time when "the world of music" was mostly something I encountered through the radio. Like I recognize most of the 150 songs in the torrent and can remember hearing them, liking them, knowing why I liked them and knowing why others did. I have not listened to the radio in... years, and I've gotten pretty much all my music lately from certain websites... but to me it's as if the radio doesn't exist anymore, and whatever the 'hits' are now, I am not familiar. I didn't recognize a lady gaga song recently until it got to the chorus, and if I went to a club I probably wouldn't know any of the songs.
This is not a bad thing, it just struck me as 'oh yeah, the times have changed'. I just feel like it's a bigger change than it really is.
