For people born in 2000-2008.
I feel like there has really been a hidden apocalypse in the modern consumer era, exploitation era, the era that no longer cares about humanity or it’s mental health.
From food to entertainment to supposed freedom to so called advancement of the society, we’ve only seen a steady and constant decline in the psychological and mental state of the society as a whole.
I can’t help but notice how different were the things in 2007 or even 2015. The modernity and it’s bells and whistles has really been hazardous.
It’s not for me, but some people really enjoy holding something in their hands, so give a thought about buying vinyl or CDs as well, many on BC do offer that. Another idea would be to force yourself to only play albums on spotify ;)
I don’t even have a CD drive anymore! I got rid of my record player before I was even 20.
Maybe I’ll try to find something good on Bandcamp.
Hah, I didn’t have one either (for that one artist, I always ripped the CDs when I visited my parents :D), but actually had to buy one again recently, because I wanted to rewatch a TV show with my wife (ReGenesis, 2004, far ahead of its time biolab thriller/scifi, includes predicting things like Covid :D Gets a bit unhinged towards the end) that had no streaming (outside of free US ad supported potato quality), digital buying, lending or anything available, so I ended up ordering the DVD box from ebay and buying an external DVD drive to rip all the episodes. Then I also had to use OCR to extract the subtitles, and use Whisper AI to create new subtitles for the second season, which didn’t have any. That was a whole thing :D
I’m going to have to look into this. Canadia makes some great sci fi
It’s far more grounded than normal scifi, though. Or, said differently, very hard scifi with barely anything made up.
