i remember when i was a kid and made that first JFK to LAX flight at age 12 and heard theo on 92.3. and just the radio in LA in general. it felt like LA. just like NY radio felt like NYC. you knew where you were at. radio fukking sucks now
exactly.....the local radio of today doesn't reflect the community at all......its so corporate and syndicated it all sounds the same.....
i was traveling thru little ole Augusta Georgia and instead of hearing a local grassroots morning talk show ....
i have to hear Charlemagne the God and Angela Yee of the BREAKFAST CLUB
it's like Corporate radio and the streaming have STRIPPED local radio of thier identity.....
and it affects the playlists as well...back in the day every city or region had thier own "sound" and you can tap into that thru the local radio station....
now EVERYBODY SOUNDS THE SAME...BECAUSE EVERY ARTIST IS NOW VIRAL....
SO THE MUSIC IS SAME...THE LINGO IS THE SAME..AND THE FASHION IS ALL THE SAME....
and that's why it's sooooooooooooo LAME
