As much as I like C.D.'s, he's kind of right. I mean, I can't imagine going to the store and paying 15 dollars for a new Weezer C.D. when I can just download it in 20 seconds. And nowadays everyone is glued to their smart-phones and a lot of new computers don't even have a CD-drive built in. It's all about the streaming for the Zoomers... And really, it's hard to blame em.
C.D's are a good format for supporting local and smaller acts though.
With that said, I should mention that I buy more C.D's than ever, only because since C.D's are becoming obsolete, all the 80's, 90's and early 00's shit is being unloaded at thrift stores all the time, so I usually drop like 15 dollars for 20 C.D's. It's dope. On the other end of the spectrum, I was at "Sunrise Music" the other day looking at some C.D's and they had shit like Super Unknown for 17.99, I mean get real. No way music stores are gonna stay afloat with prices like that in 2019.
