Ist mir schon häufiger aufgefallen: Während der Rest Mitteleuropas mehrheitlich elektfrizierte Zugstrecken hat, ist das in England nicht so. Selbst überregionale Intercity-Verbindungen werden mit Diesel gefahren. Wieso? Hat das historische Gründe oder sprechen irgendwelche Argumente konkret gegen diesen Schritt?
I’ve recently seen a comment saying „streaming will keep interests more niche“ and it got me thinking about the impact our way of music consumption has on the cultural music landscape.
Sure, we are seeing the rise of CD sales and Vinyl has been a thing for years now, but I don‘t really see this shift the tide in the way the GP consumes music.
But inevitably, all things change, so there must be a bigger change happening at some point.
I‘m curious about your opinions on if and when this might occur, what could bring about such a change, and how a different music consumption landscape might look like.
Will be just go back to physical media? Will ownership of mp3s make a comeback? Will it be something else entirely? And what might this do to the (non-)existence of monoculture?
