Your grandparents were buying recorded music. It's not some new fad. The reason we expect music to be free, or nearly free, now is because of filesharing. If Napster and its spiritual descendants had never existed, people would still be buying music more or less like it was 1999.

Don't know about your grandparents, but I'm sure that my grandparents mostly listened to music on the wireless. Buying records was a new trend for them (compared to their parents).

My grandparents were buying sheet music and playing and singing the songs themselves.
