#4Wow. Other than Metallica, I don't own an album by any of these people, and other than Metallica and Michael Jackson, I don't think I'd be able to name a single song by the few others that I do recognize the name.
Oh, and I'm using the word "album". That probably explains it all ... :-)

#5are these maps using county boundaries? i would prefer something like kernel density or normalizing for county population or something... but still very cool. mississippi louisiana alabama georgia seem to be one pole, and everywhere else the other.

Their analysis is biased. Young people predominantly use digital services to consume music, whereas older generations still use CDs and the radio.
As an anecdote, the older I get, the less music I listen to. It used to be a big part of my identity, but now I just listen to music if it sounds good or if I need something to drown out the noise around me.

Anecdote applies to me.
I experience some headphone fatigue nowadays too. Once upon a time I must have been listening to music for 60-75% of my waking minutes.
Also somehow I feel much more tranquil in just walking and listening to my thoughts and feelings (even unwelcome ones). I think I listened to a lot of music to experiment with different identities and ways of feeling, and approx. since I turned 30 I started to develop my own in a much more interesting way.

You're using the word album, you're referring to "owning" music, and appears you're unfamiliar with any new music from the last 20 years. Time to switch to spotify.
