I feel that for music. During my teenage years I used to listen to the same songs over and over on my walkman. I still remember 99% lyrics to the whole albums. The music used to have such a strong connection.
Nowadays there are 1000+ songs in my playlist I can't even recollect 20% lyrics nor there is a chance in hell that I would listen to every single song on the entire album let alone every single song by tthe same artist.
It's like if I don't like the first 10 seconds, it's hide song and Spotify makes sure I never have to listen to that again. Even though some of my all time favorites are songs I hated at first but then there was no hide song button.
Sorry I digress but yeah the connections you make in childhood are really something. I just hope it's my age and not the technology responsible for this and the youth of today feel the same connection too.
