Did you noticed I made it a question lol ;)
Besides I am not a music lover, far from it.

I never bought a CD, Cassette, or record for music. I bought an Apple IPod and got my first songs from Napster. My Sister was in college back when I was in elementary school but she taught me what Napster was. It took me over a year to save enough to buy the IPod. I actually negotiated with my parents to combine my birthday and Christmas gifts and all my allowances together that year to save up for the IPod. I did not really understand the legality and copyright issues with downloading music online back in the day. All I remember was organizing 1000s of songs into their respective genre and put accurate info for each song so it was organized on my Itunes and IPod. As a matter of fact I spent more time organizing the files than actually listening to them.

If I remember the first ever song played on my IPod correctly it was U2 - Beautiful Day. I went on being a big fan of them. Back then as a kid my friends lean toward rap and pop. Had a lot of remix of top 100 songs. Bands like Nysc, backstreet boys, Britney Spears, Christina. But BIG, 2pac, Eminem I played most often and did not have to hear remix of them. I learned very young how important money is in the real world so favorite song back then was Mo money Mo problems. Big and P Diddy sang the original.

I always found music brings a sense of camaraderie as its a entertaining one of sharing one's experiences. I guess I don't like music or not into it as much now is because most songs out there that are easily accessible are just catchy tunes or one hit wonders. No really story behind it or sending a meaning to its listeners. Thanks.

I think that I misunderstood you, to be honest 🤔 @mawit07

Your view on Music, is very different to mine ~ I grew up with Music on Vinyl or Radio, mostly because there was nothing else! Technology was minimal, so Music was everything to me. I still have an iPod though, plugged into my TV Amp/speakers, and still play it sometimes.

I do remember Napster, but I could never seem to get the Downloads that my friends were getting for FREE 🤣

Anyway, I really appreciate your contribution to the Contest 😎
Thanks Bro √
