Commit to the bit. “We’ve got ___ songs left. This is a new one. [explain in nauseating detail what the song is about for three minutes before you play it]”

The problem isn’t the medium, it’s the mode of consumption. We need to be advocating for offline means of engaging with the artform, even simply pushing for digital audio players and MP3s as opposed to algorithmic streaming models is a massive step in the right direction.

It goes:

- bombard children with endless algorithmic feeds of content since the earliest stages of consumption
- children become young adults and burn out on social media, for good reason
- they’re raised to associate art as just another branch of the content tree, so they abandon it altogether
