NOTE

From Slow Art to Dopamine Delights

Society is transitioning from a slow culture, where traditional forms of art and engagement thrive, to a dopamine culture characterized by instant gratification and distraction.

In music, it evolves from appreciating full albums to consuming individual tracks.
