For me it was the explorations. Growing up a weird kid pre internet in a fucking shit hole of a town and not liking anything mainstream, hunting music/film was a psychological mind expansion, traveling into the depths of Mordor (wardor street) London and going into record shops and really helped find myself and stopped me thinking suicidal thoughts as it allowed me to realise how big the world wasand I wasn't the only wierdo.
Format didn't mater it was in the Searching and that sweet moment you discovered something incredibly.
Same with films, streaming made everything so accessable and so main stream music lost its meaning and became flat.
The only way I can describe it was when I was 18 enjoyed to travel rough and off the beaten track. After a few months I got a bus with loads of western wantabe travelers and listened to their "stories", they were there but didn't experience and definitely didnt grow from it.
Same again for my photography, when I was shooting with film it meant something real, digital meant shit.
I think it might be with the actual community, you loose that with internet. Recently started to buy records again and interestingly my art has started to come back to me.
