Recording formats often get mentioned, but they are not the important music thing of which kids today are often unaware. The important thing is that we used to have record collections (which were mostly composed of CDs by the time I was old enough to have a modest one.)
I now have a more extensive one and enjoy it greatly, only now it's in mp3 form.
I might even suggest that having an mp3 or other file-based record collection is still in the same vein.
The big departure, imo, is people who don't own their music collections. They rely only on Spotify or Apple or Amazon or whatever and just stream.
One day, when their contracts with the labels or whatever expire, or the service is discontinued, or you move to another country... your collection evaporates. It's happened before.
