teen girl behind a jukebox in a small fatburger

While eating at Fatburger this past weekend, there was a girl, who must have been about 15-years-old, selecting tunes from the digital jukebox. Now, a teenager at a jukebox isn’t all that interesting, but to me, her selections were:

  • Madonna, “Borderline”
  • Boston, “More than a Feeling”
  • Good Charlotte, “The Anthem”
  • Nirvana, “All Apologies”
  • Death Cab for Cutie, “Soul Meets Body”

I don’t have anything particularly enlightening here, except to say:

  1. I think such a varied selection from one individual, teen or not, is really cool.
  2. I don’t think this would have happened 10 years ago. The evolution of digital music and its fragmentation has made discovering all kinds of music the mainstream. The force-feeding of music by The Man is dead.

Yeah, parallels can be drawn back to Internet recruitment advertising, but that’s another post.
