It was cited as one of the reasons festivals are tanking. Lots of young people only know one or two bands on the bill so they don't see the value. (also, they are expensive, and also stated they don't have a friend to go with, which is one of the saddest facts of all)

For me, especially considering the type of music I listen to, it's that the way music is consumed now, it's kind of killed the concept of albums. Everybody is streaming basically like the radio. It's all top 100 stuff, single after single. Kids don't listen to albums anymore and for me, I find that kind of sad. Because just about every album I buy, there's one or two tracks that are better than the song I heard that made me want to buy the album in the first place.
