The internet was a different space a decade ago. Rather than the digital entity that controls our lives and serves as our main window to media and information, the internet used to be a place to escape the real world. While our current technological integrations can still be seen as beneficial, you have to admit that our digital footprints and online presence have taken a complete 180.
Along with how we interact with the internet, the way we consume media has changed too. Somewhere between CDs and Spotify was a time when artists had to promote their music differently. Blogs and mixtape distribution websites dominated as platforms for artists to share their music for fans to download. These records were often lower-budget and carried a DIY aesthetic that inspired listeners to share and create something of their own. My goal here is to outline some of the best and most noteworthy albums and mixtapes from that era and explain what they did right.
