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.
Okay, I’m sorry. Please allow me to rephrase.
When one buys stuff at a concert, the intention is to support the band.

I’m not trying to be obtuse and I’m not against supporting artists. I’m just pointing out that a lot of people don’t want stuff they won’t use even if it does offer support. That’s why everyone will typically offer wearable merch. If you bought it based on how it looks chances are you’ll wear it. The reality is cds don’t get much use anymore, vinyls don’t travel and most people can’t tell the difference in quality or haven’t taken the time to notice it and will never unless taught.
