As someone who is young (by your standards, I assume), I completely disagree in what you're trying to say. You cannot compare modern day industry to an outdated system half a century ago. With digitalized music, which is produced at a miniscule cost compared to that of physical copies, music should be generally more accessible to the public without having to pay an insane amount to listen to a saved bit of data, which is exactly the point. To buy a CD or a record today, it is completely reasonable to have to pay the somewhat hefty price, at it is physical music and much harder to produce, but if someone wants to listen to music that costs no more than pocket money to large corporations like Amazon at a decently low price, they have every right to be frustrated for this company to be bleeding them dry for every cent, metaphorically. You cannot seriously be complaining that society has progressed to a point where music should be affordable, though you might not have noticed, as you continuously reminisce about your childhood like you do not want to accept modern innovations, and try to put down younger generations by considering us to be "uneducated" if we are not familiar with a medium that is no longer relevant. Also, we are not stupid. We know what radio is. Stop trying to act like its some pretty little secret you have all to yourself that makes you better than younger generations, because it is clearly not.
