Do you think the music you're listening to lends itself to that (no judgment passed)? And would you say that more genres should employ an ethic like that (insert judgment here)?

now, i have no money. i like rare things that are hard to find around here. so i download. it may cheapen some albums that may otherwise get a really good listen out of me, but i just have to deal with it unfortunately. once i get a decent paying job i plan on going back to buying everything. i consider this a phase.
