mattnice Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 http://www.theguardian.com/music/2013/aug/21/how-do-you-listen-to-modern-music There's a smippet of this amazing piece. Portable players offer privacy, whether you're an adult trying to disguise the fact you're bopping along to Selena Gomez's Come & Get It on your commute, or a teenager shielding your slightly offensive music taste from your parents.As well as being perfect for the current boom in guilty pleasure pop music, the iPhone and iPod go hand in hand with music like UK bass, trap and grime. Headphones are a huge pull for portable devices, given that Beats By Dre are primarily seen as a cultural status symbol and considering the company has reportedly grown its revenues from $200m in 2010 to nearly $1bn last year, we can only assume parents are happy to cough up for headphones for their kids o save themselves having to hear Baauer's remix of Disclosure's You and Me pounding through the bedroom wall.
