Chris on hyper-personalized listening and the decline of monoculture.
"Because there's so much music, people need some help to sift through it. And we've gotten to the point where personalized algorithms do that...There is a conversation that's constantly going on that the monoculture has died. You can't have stars like Michael Jackson anymore because everyone is getting served different versions of musical reality."
-Chris Dalla Riva
