so sorry that you have to go through all of this as a musician. looking back i also do miss listening to music with process. taking out the casette from its case, rolling it, and read the lyrics on the spread. that was such a beautiful and mindful experience. despite i no longer do that, one of the thing ive been trying to do to be more mindful in consuming music is playing discover weekly playlist on mondays and explore release radar in fridays. carry on with your workk✨

my entire fyp has time travelled back to 2020, with everyone posting drafts and influencers bringing back duet chains. even though tiktok is not disappearing for me, it's so interesting to see how many trends, how many things we've gone through in the past six years (tiktok still feels like a recent app to me, until i realise that 2019 was six years ago and not 1-2). how quickly we've forgotten about them, and how all the memories flood back. "Maybe we’re mourning a way of experiencing art that we’ve already lost." this entire post is so true. short form media has wormed its way through every part and every app of our life- i strongly doubt that the tiktok ban will mean that we consume media in a different way now, because like you said we are simply swapping one out for a similar, parallel app/medium.
