Can't tell if you are being serious or not, but if you are serious - nice True Scottsman fallacy ya got there. A fan is a fan, I am not snobbish enough to tell people what they have to do in order to be a "real" fan lol that ain't how I roll

I use Spotify a lot despite having his entire catalogue on mp3 (or similar) on my phone, not to mention cd and vinyl outside of that.

FFS me.

Ok that's different and what I explained. You're a true fan, I don't know about some of these other jokers though

Hey i'm not looking for your endorsement I'm just marvelling at my own stupidity.

Lol I have never streamed, dont need to cause I got my iTunes filled with all the P anyone could ever need. However anyone who uses the term "real fan" kinda just is exactly what is wrong with the org at times. Too much snobbery

True fan vs the others.

It is what it is and has always been this way. Youre new so it's understandable how you feel.

People over 40. That's who mainly doesn't stream. Older people are scared of technology. Nothing to do with Prince, just ignorance.

Any fan worth their salt will already have had the music before streaming was even a thing. It has nothing to do with the aged disliking streaming. Its about being a true fan. You're either a true fan, or you are not.

Nah, just on my devices, mp3s, etc. I have Spotify 4 other artists n such, only if I'm desperate 4 a classic tune or sumpin .

You're really good at this, because I made a decision to ignore you; but I can't. So I'll take my chances because I am curious and would like an honest answer and not some "snappy comeback".

1) Are you serious or just clowning? If serious,

2) please define "true fan"

3) People on this site talk about maintaining Prince's legagcy; how do you think that is going to happen if younger people are not exposed to his music? Prince's older fan base will evenutally transition; and who will be left to discuss his music and advance his legagcy? The majority of millennials are NOT buying CDs or BUYING music. As people noted on this site, since his passing the price of some of his CDs are a bit pricey for someone who may be fresh out of high school or college.

We dont need the younger people to take care of his legacy. We got it from here and have been doing just fine without the millenials and their ignorance of the purple history. And if I were you, I'd carry out your decision to try to ignore me. It doesn't get any better.

Thanks. As usual we can agree to disagree. I think new, and younger fans/fam are needed; and appreciated. Like Prince, I think multi/inter generational blood is cool: “They are like my kids,” he said. “And I’m learning from them. Young people have the new ideas.” But I feel you on the ignorance part; I have a problem with people's ignorance of Prince before the "purple histroy" (not really,).

Are you streaming his music on TIDAL, Spotify or Apple Music?

Or just playing your old records?

Are you a vinyl/cd kind of listener?

I stream via Spotify. I lost all my vinyl's (For You - Around the World in a Day is what I had) when I left them with a family member while I was enlisted. Still debating about joining Tidal.

A legacy is literally something that cannot exist without younger folk to keep it alive lol. I am not sure what you are going on about both with that or the "real fans don't stream" thing

[Edited 6/11/17 21:57pm]

I signed up to Tidal just to stream Prince's entire (released) catalogue. Since then I have used the platform regulalry to stream new non Prince music and albums and enjoy it. I actually listened to "The Chocolate" invasion yesterday on Tidal which I had never listened to as an album configuartaion before so I am going to use stremaing to (re) discover Prince music I have never taken the time to listen to before.

I've no need to, but I'm not 'anti-streaming' - I just personally have no use for it. If streaming is the way the general music listening audience is getting their music, then I'm glad Prince's stuff is on there to be heard.

I have Tidal & Apple music for various reasons. I also own everything on cd/vinyl & digital as well.

Streaming makes it easier for me to listen to what I want anywhere I want. I own everything because I want to. I am also I collector of music in general.

Calling someone 'not a fan' on a fansite is rather pointless, but hey, to each their own.
