Another Music Direct Catalog observation

I didn't want to hijack an existing thread about the current catalog's Joni cover so I started this one.

You know, I was thinking about this after I received my catalog and how burned out I was on "boomer music". I know as a Gen Xer, I've been saturated by Boomer culture since I came of age in the 80's, and my appreciation for these artists has waned in part because of their saturation in audiophile circles.

Yes, the MD catalog does pay lip service to contemporary artists, but its adherence to a musical paradigm that peaked 45 years ago or so is symptomatic of the undeniable waning of "hi-fi" as a hobby.

It’s about time we got in charge of the musical culture. We had to listen to endless pop jazz treacle when we were coming up. Your kids will have the same complaints about your music soon enough.

By the way that was a beautiful picture of Joni Mitchell, wasn’t it? Don’t disagree and make me have to slap you around in front of your GenX friends. The should be more vintage pictures of Michelle Phillips and Linda Ronstadt too, not more unnecessary GenX stuff. Don’t worry, you’ll have your day sooner than you think.
