I was just thinking of the Bowie vinyl that I had and remembered what the experience of buying it was like. Having &#x27;cool&#x27; albums was a thing, it said something about you. Now that I have teenagers myself I don&#x27;t see that with them. Music is not something they own, it&#x27;s free (if you don&#x27;t mind the ads) and anyone can have anything they like. No effort is required and maybe because of that They don&#x27;t seem to appreciate it the same way.<p>I wouldn&#x27;t claim that any idea I had was original but for sure I see a similarity between the way people seem to curate their social media profile so that they appear in a certain light to others to the way my peers and I used to curate our record collections to portray something about ourselves as kids
