I'm 28 now but during my teens I was totally obsessed with death metal, particularly from the early 1990s. I even felt nostalgia for not being old enough to witness that heyday of metal and the tape-trading / zine community around it, so I used to dig through used CD store racks and buy old demo tapes off Ebay with the money I'd earn working in the summers. I loved the feeling of finding an obscure gem that no one else knew about! Now you're right though, there are so many talented musicians just a few clicks away that it's head-spinning and I can't imagine a better time in history to be a music connoisseur.
