Music and exclusivity.

[halftime]

What drives people, who find a certain song/mixtape, to say "don't give this to anyone, no one knows about this", etc...

What do people gain out of this?

Anyone else deal with this problem with people, especially EDM heads?

It's a way for them to feel like they're more "legit" than people because they have stuff others don't.

Same reason why people who have those rare J Dilla beat tapes will refuse to share or tell anyone where they got them. Instead of just being able to appreciate the music, they want to get an ego boost out of it by feeling like they have 'rare' **** and they're real collectors.

You see this alot with the hipsters and indie rock kids around campus too. They feel unable to simply appreciate the quality of the music and instead rely on the status that its exclusivity brings them, can't imagine living like that.

I was like that when I was in my early teens I thought I was the **** because I had all the cool music nobody else had.
I could give a **** less now

look at "exclusive" shoes and apply it to most youth oriented musical styles. people always want to one up the next man, just look at limited edition cars, clothing, food etc.

that hipster mentality.

look at The Weeknd videos on YouTube and you'll see nothing but this: "OMG i hate that everyone listens to him now"
