Kids turn music listening into a competitive sport these days, I swear.
I’ve gotta get off twitter. People claiming to have heard like 15,000 albums at age 15. Speed-listening and rating, I assume.
Something weird about it to me.
I’ve gotta get off twitter, man.

Quite a weird little world. People with RYM accounts are the ones clocking ungodly numbers and speeding through albums so they can put them in a chart thing and advertise them.
Search twitter for “topster” or ”rym” sometime.
I just observe, don’t really participate, but it’s quite weird in my opinion.
