To think today's young people won't know what their ''first record ' was

[Toffeesgirl]

Listening to Spotify and the first record I ever bought came on (On my Radio by Selector if you're interested !)

but DC who all music comes from Spotify, won't have that 'first record' moment.

It probably doesn't matter to him but I think it's a shame.

In a charity shop on Tuesday with my 17yo daughter and there were a box of tapes. I was reminiscing about my diana Ross LP 😂 i had on tape. Vinyls and CDs beside the tapes. Happy memories. Next shop had an old stack system in it and I was trying to explain to her where the tapes went and how a pencil or pen sometimes came in handy and she was looking at me like I needed locked up!

Music videos pre-dated MTV. The first music video that stuck in my mind was Bohemian Rhapsody in 1975 but that wasn't the first ever.

Bucks Fizz after they won Eurovision with Making Your Mind Up. Me and my friend were always making up dance routines to The Fizz!

No clue. Born 1980's Would have been cassette tapes. Don't remember buying/being given singles. We recorded off the radio or bought albums eg NOW.

I should be so lucky kylie minogue

Thanks, I did not know that. Probably because my parents went on a no screens
kick and tossed out the TV when I was 10 to 14, so I discovered music videos while babysitting at other houses.

Mine was Stand & Deliver by Adam & The Ants. I still have it. OG vinyl ❤️

Mine was Kylie- Kylie
first single was d ream party up the world

To be fair pre MTV (1981) videos were pretty non existent.

They’ll have their own firsts. Just like my parents had different firsts to me that I was never sad about missing as it wasn’t my existence

Loadsssss of kids have a Yoto Player now.

So their first radio DJ is Jake, and possibly the Queen Greatest Hits album Yoto card their first official record

They will have first TicTok or first Call Of Duty.

I mean, none of us have "first TV show".

Tech moves on.

We had "first car", kids born today won't have that either.

Same. I also don’t have a childhood toy or
blanket that I’ve got as an adult.

I’m 60. I have no idea what my first record was. I think my first album was one of the ABBA ones (not sure) but no idea about a single.

Seven and the ragged tiger.

Eton Rifles by the Jam…

Why wouldn’t they have a first car?

I think it will be of no concern or relevance to them.

The first CD I bought was Boyzone, and ‘my’ Blue Peter presenters were Katy Hill, Simon Thomas and Konnie Huq.

That ages me pretty perfectly doesn’t it!

Adam and the Ants -King's of the Wild Frontier, aged 11.
Son is 19 and I doubt he would remember his first download

Best Years of our Lives by Modern Romance

Monkees, Daydream Believer. I was about 10. First TV programme was Watch with Mother, I think that was the only one on when I was young.

Ah, but they will have that "first song I streamed or listened to for myself" memory. I do get its not the same as buying a record or cassette and the fun we had using listening posts in Virgin!

My daughter will. She’s really into music and vinyl!

I'm too young for records but I still remember the first song I illegally downloaded on limewire and burnt onto a CD 😂
