I always find it so gross when I look in the comment section on a musician's post, who has’t released any new music in a while, and all of the comments are filled with “new album when?”, “when is the new stuff coming out?”, “I WANT THE ALBUM NOW”. It’s just so interesting to me because it’s not like this for all fan bases. it still weirds me out so much though because what makes you feel so entitled to new music every year? I feel like music listening has become so commodified. We expect music (and even everything) to be so instantaneous. It leaves no room for exploration. I would love for my favorite artists to make new music every day, but with that, would it not become tiring and monotonous? Idk, just interesting stuff to think about ESPECIALLY now that I’ve been primarily listening to music via CD’s/LP’s. it’s crazy how much listening to the work as a whole garners such different emotions than in an algorithmically made playlist
