so the problem is with us, not them! I wish I knew how to make pfm attractive to a younger audience.
Hey kids welcome to a life of disappointment, expense and pain!
Why would you do such a thing to people you love
Can't you get them into heroin or something enjoyable? Parents would prefer it tbh
so the problem is with us, not them! I wish I knew how to make pfm attractive to a younger audience. The site is certainly intended to be inclusive and we all have so much to learn from the younger generation IMO.
Or the younger generation are more interested in experiences rather than material objects. A rather blinkered view to say the least.We (as a society) just don't consume music the way we used to.
We used to go to lots of clubs and small venues and see really big name acts for a few "d." They'd be promoting their album. If we enjoyed the gig we'd pop into a retailer and buy the album. We'd then get all of our friends together, sit in a darkened room and listen to the new album.
Now youngsters (horrible generalisation alert) sit in their darkened rooms and send each other social media links of some mass marketed star's new video (for free.) After sharing it 4 million times, its done and they're onto the next one.
It is what is is.
Cut the politics, if you are serious.
A Youtube/TikTok curated pfm presence might be a lure?
And some merchandise would be nice.
Has there ever been a pfm t-shirt or beanie hat?
..sentenced to death for various reasons but the final nail being driven by a shitty (Continental Airlines) plane dropping bits of metal on the runway.
I don’t agree. Much of the politics I follow comes from people less than half my age on YouTube. There is a generation of people very much on my level politically and I make it absolutely clear in everything I write that this is an anti-fascist website. I will actively dissuade racists, misogynists, homophobes, transphobes etc. I have removed a lot of very ugly right-wing content over the years and will continue to do so.
The question of declining attention spans, rule of multitasking and general lack of effort in everything, present in today's humans irrelevant of age is another important and related issue. Hi-fi absolutely demands attention.
I first saw a Concorde in the metal at Heathrow. What struck me, aside from its elegance, was how small but loud it is. At the time, I was a top-tier frequent flyer with One World and could have used my squillions of points on a supersonic flight. But alas, I thought there is always another day. Sadly, tomorrow never came for that opportunity.I still shed a virtual tear at airports that Concorde has gone. I loved watching it fly over.
You might attract some younger people in initially, but would they stay for the long term? There is such a lot of anger and hostility in the threads (not just the politics ones).
Most younger people get enough patronisation from dads, headmasters and other authority figures, without getting more of the same when they investigate what’s meant to be an enjoyable hobby.

I realise YouTube is the current frontier in many ways, I watch vastly more YouTube content than terrestrial TV. It isn’t something I want to do though. I am just too reclusive. I very actively avoid spotlights.
A thread on pfm logo design would be fun though.
