I was recently completely blown away by how many of my friends and family said they didn't think they could name ten albums. Not ten albums of one particular artist, just ten albums period. Completely incomprehensible to me, to the point I think many of them must have been loving with me despite how sincere they sounded.

No, why would you care what the album is called? I grew up in the era of tapes becoming cds and I'd probably struggle to name 10 albums. Spotify has made the problem way worse.

If you had asked me yesterday what Lilith Fair was I would have guessed either a music artist or an upscale home furnishings company.

I think Music People tend to forget that not everyone is a Music Person and are left aghast at people not knowing what they consider foundational knowledge. Just like I always forget that not everyone is a Movie Person and am dumbfounded when someone doesn't know who Hitchcock is or whatever.

Hitchcock is from Brooklyn 99 which is a TV show not a movie, get it right MORAN

You just need to know 5 Taylor Swift albums and then add the Taylor's Version ones. Easy.

I can't. I never owned albums when I was younger and these days everything is individual downloads and such.

Yeah these were basically the responses I got from them too and, putting my wildly hyperbolic end to that first post aside, I can certainly understand that! Heck, I do most of my music listening nowadays through a mish-mash Spotify playlist too. Was just very surprising to realize how wrong I was at the time.

I used to be really Into Music (including being able to tell you what Lilith Fair was, although I didn’t know that was a marker until today), but I’ve become able to understand people who relate to music in a different, less intense way. I’ve gone to a couple of festivals recently where I didn’t know any of the acts or really cared about who I would make an effort to watch, I was just there to be “around music” and enjoy the atmosphere. While 15 years ago I’d plan out my itinerary in painstaking detail, get anxious about set conflicts, and probably even research the set lists in advance on fan message boards.

There is a certain joy that comes from being really into something, but there is a different, perhaps more relaxed, joy that comes from enjoying things as a non-obsessive, non-expert.

Could have gone with both trains going in the same direction and ask if that means that the people on the tracks get fired from the blue portal into the orange portal gaining momentum each time or whether they simply get picked up and laid on the track repeatedly.

Yeah it's closer to knowing the episode titles of ITYSL instead of referring to the skits you liked. Did I watch the whole thing? Sure. Do I know the name? Nah.
