Deep dives
Zoomers collecting CDs
Zoomers, the generation younger than millennials, have taken up collecting CDs, despite not even having CD players. This trend is particularly evident among fans of Taylor Swift, with some 23-year-olds owning almost every album she has released. While CDs only account for 3% of music industry profits in 2022, down from 96% 20 years ago, buying CDs can still be a way for super fans to support their favorite artists more directly.
