I find so much joy in hearing a song I love(d) but haven't heard in ages. Music that expires if I don't listen to it feels almost like disrespecting my past self. Sometimes my historical tastes were amazing; sometimes I'm glad I moved on; either way, I'm glad to have a record of those times and to revisit and reminisce. One can still be nostalgic about bad taste, and certainly for hits we've forgotten we've loved.
- thakoppno 3y agoI agree with everything you said. The dream is not to compromise any of that while also expiring that which you no longer need. There’s a passage in Infinite Jest that describes the logical point that a quantity of meat exists that I will eat over the course of my life and it could be stored in a substantially large enough room. Similarly with our music collections, if you will, there’s only so many tunes left. The excess is what is wasteful.
