The discussion of the democracy of the radio in class was really interesting to me. Radio held an important role in my grandparents or even my parents life. But in my current social circle most people that I know have abandoned the radio for the sake of Apple CarPlay where they can play whatever music they desire in the moment. It makes me wonder if the younger generations who are losing the importance of the radio are also losing the impact of that democratized reverent for a more individualized view on music.
Which then begs the question of where meaning comes from for the music if the community creates meaning and a community is no longer sharing the experience of radio play of songs? I'm not sure if I know the answer yet but it's an interesting line of thought.
