Yes.

But I see people are still playing the superiority card by looking down upon radio as a lesser form of entertainment. Really classy guys.

Is it though? Radio feels so regulated and controlled - every time I listen to it I hear the same songs over and over.

Exactly.

I do this too. The radio is just my last resort after my iPod dies

Because it's easy for car rides.

Even with auxiliary cords, you have to be more distracted in order to skip songs you don't like & such, unless you set up a playlist beforehand or have a passenger to be in charge of music for you.

Some songs sound better on radio too.

Because they like to? I like to listen to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. It's entertaining to me. I don't really listen to pop radio because I don't care for most of the music that is played.

I never used to use the radio, but ever since getting a part-time job (in which the radio plays) I've been opened up to a whole bunch of new songs and artists that I probably wouldn't have heard otherwise. It's been great. And there's absolutely nothing like hearing your fave artists slayin' it up on the radios, without you deciding to play them.

I always listen to the radio in the car

When in car some people want news breaks and information about traffic.
And when you're in the car with 5 or 6 people, not everyone likes the music you like so radio is just of all genres.

Some people don't care about the music too much and just listen to the radio when they wanna listen to some.

Yall need to realize all people are not stans

Radio is ****

I listen to it in the car

Except for shows with good moderators and good content, radio has seriously lost its appeal and its cause. The only ones who still use it on a large scale are malls (for upbeat, encouraging backdrop music during your shopping spree, lmao), on occasion some companies in the work environment, and that's about it off the top of my head.

In the private sector, mostly only older and/or really lazy people I think. There are in fact a lot of people who don't care enough to look and pay for music themselves and just turn on the radio when they want to listen to some.

Radio is a dying medium, although very slowly so.


EDIT: Want to correct myself: I think radio is a SHRINKING medium, but it will never die. The kind of people who just want to turn on a device and be able to listen to any easy-listening kind of music will always exist.

I listen to radio because they ply old favorites I forgot about. I don't listen to top 40 but radio, it usually the oldies station. So there's times when I feel so out of touch with new music.

Only listen in the car, when I wake up, and at work. When I'm home, hell no

Usually when I'm in the car with mom/dad. Whenever I drive by myself, I usually plug in my iPod.
