We’ll Say Goodbye to These 36 Usual Things Soon

30. CDs

Remember when the music industry was singing the new song of compact discs (CDs)? Smaller than vinyl records! No ribbons tangled mid-tune as with cassette tapes! And don’t even get us started on how much better they sounded than clunky eight-tracks!

But now that we all have boxes and dresser drawers jammed full of CDs, the tune has changed. Last year, Rolling Stone reported that CD revenue plummeted 41.5% in the first half of 2018 as compared with 2017. Modern music users are moving to getting — and storing — their tunes digitally.

Ironically, as CDs decline, an older musical medium, vinyl records, is reviving. “I definitely believe the next decade is going to be streaming plus vinyl — streaming in the car and kitchen, vinyl in the living room and the den,” musician Jack White told Rolling Stone.
