Had an epiphany, what would happen when all of you die?


This is not about analog directly or even music, I don't think there is another place in this planet with adepts like most of you are here in audiogon, what will happen when you all die? Raul, MC, Mijo, Lew, Erik, Atmasphere, (myself), even the one that shall not be named, even GK (how ya doing cupcake).
Will someone carry the torch? Would anyone care?Kind of sad to say see an age in audio technology (not only analog) pass by, really this post doesn't even make any sense, apologies in advance.

With all the craziness, and criticism,
If I would be alive 100 years from now I'll still miss audiogon and your contributions.
Thank you all for all the craziness

I’m going to put in my will that my kids will inherit my iPhoto library and my Roon play history and library. 
The beauty of both is the time stamp (and in the case of iPhoto, a place stamp too).  
Maybe when I’m gone, someone might wonder “what was he listening to around the time when we...” and a quick interrogation of the Roon metadata will reveal all. And maybe some memories of me will come flooding back. 
(Who am I fooling...)
 For me it's Heaven for the weather and Hell to see your friends. Also the creeps that lied to me.   Game over. 
I drove #2 son to school last fall
on our way he had arranged a meet with some guy
bought himself a starter system
Carver m200t x2
Carver Tx11 tuner, Carver C2 pre
nice stack
then added some JBL Studio 570
he streams Spotify on a Schiit Modi 3
either crazier than I am or
yes there is hope for the future

music will never die

When I was in my Teens everybody I spoke to had an Opinion on a HiFi Separates vs a Compact System and CD vs Vinyl was always fought over.

20 Years on and One in a Hundred were like minded enthusiasts,
Convenience and Out of Site One Box Players were the common Systems in use.

Today very rarely do I meet a like minded enthusiast during the daily grind.
Vinyl is a commodity and I have met the odd collector with a recently taken up interest.
I will only usually be approached as my Hobby is of intrigue to some
(very few indeed ) .

Forums are the ’same old’ ’same old’ Names and Discussions reinvented
I am sure the Participation in most Forums has dwindled since their inceptions from the early 2000’s
( I appreciate the Banter as it is a Participation I have pursued for over 30 Years, Enthusiasts, Engineers, Nutty Professors are all engaged with)

Green Energy and Sustainable Consumption is the New Future and
this use of energy will rush in and many of the the old ways will be vilified.

Many of the Muscle Car HiFi Systems in use today, will not be so freely spoken off, if Known to Exist after the Amnesty Period to give them up,
there will be healthy rewards to those who inform on illegal usage.
Forums as known today will be at a end, and will be with their own Dark Net Sites.
Where the Classifieds Ads are settled in Crypto Currencies.

I am looking into a very small footprint System with very low energy consumption as a future proof system at present, hopefully it can run on its own solar cell.
This system is intended for my later years if I get there, and to promote the Eco Values it offers.
It will take a lot of clever concealment and evangelism to disguise my true love and put a Smoke Screen in front of my yearning for the Power Hungry HiFi Separates that will be stored in a very secretive manner.

A lot of Planning is required and Supporting Infrastructure to be put in
place, along with the Study of a Mastering a False Persona.
All are required for when the not too distant future Dystopian Times arrive for those who are not willing to depart from their use of Muscle HiFi.
A time when Traditionalists will have a Clandestine Habit, where the Curtains are needed to be drawn and the Neighbours are on Holiday, before the 845 Monoblocks and Stacked Quads are brought out of their underground storage bunker,
to satisfy a Halcyon Days Guilty Pleasure.
