Streaming killed such a good thing. Signings, special in store shows, picking up LA or OC weekly to look at the upcoming shows for the week, spending hours searching for that one piece you’ve wanted for months going from record store to record store on a Friday night before shows, meeting new people socializing. Man and there’s a majority that say technology is a good thing. It just dumbed up our social skills is what it did.

I don't think it ruined much. Think about how much more access to music the average person has. If anything it's been a huge positive. I wouldn't know half the bands I know without streaming and the internet. This goes the same for a lot of people. It also helps keep obscure and older bands alive and their music passed down.

@@turkomar-vq6ok my piece was one of a social aspect. I actually had real life friends who would get out go record shopping, trade vinyl, read the weekly music mags, go to shows every week sometimes a few times if I could afford it, hung out with people who had same interests instead of sitting in a bedroom somewhere with nobody else and just surfing the internet for music. It has just taken away the concept of friendship, saving for records/CD’s, and made our young society who are into music just be lazy and have instant gratification with which you call the accessibility of it on the internet. Nothing is personal with streaming.
