    you could absolutely buy singles of songs if you wanted (I would usually buy my singles on cassette cause they were way cheaper), however it was usually more cost effective to buy the whole album. (if you liked the artist and wanted to take the risk)

    usually listening to the entire album a few times will get you some pretty decent songs and it meant you got to take time to really appreciate what you had to listen to. also I found that my enjoyment of stuff would change every listen.

    the best case scenario is you bought an album and every single song was a banger. and you just don’t get that anymore because you have access to everything all the time. so its much easier to just hit the skip button nowadays.

      Still happens, you just need to expand past top 40s radio shit

        top 40s radio stuff can be lovely to some! i don’t judge or force it. but sometimes a song just doesn’t vibe with the way the inside your skull is shaped, ya know?

        just doesn’t bounce around in there correctly.
