The new generations get their phones with unlimited access to everything, but have lost record stores and bookstores. The kids will be alright but I still don’t think it was a fair trade.

Record stores are booming.

There are more under 30s than above 30s in most book and record stores I visited in the past few years (NL&UK). Not sure if it’s the new generations that’s the problem

You misunderstand. The new generations are getting screwed by the death of bookstores and record stores, no one is blaming them.

Ah misread your comment. Thanks for clarification

Yeah I second this. As someone from the US I see a bunch of 20 somethings reading print books in used bookstores Edit: Ah! Yes you are indeed correct and isn’t it sad
