There were days not long ago when dudes had to trade videos and cassette tapes of drumlines with their friends if they wanted to hear lot clips or street beats or book. Chances are the recordings were from well after the season or even worse, if you didn’t have any friends with recordings, you had nothing to listen to at all.

Then came youtube. Now we can sit for hours on end and watch countless videos great lines only days after it was filmed live. We can in essence follow a line’s progress throughout the season.

And NOW we have corps like the Cavaliers that are embracing the social media shift and posting audio clips MINUTES after they were recorded. Seriously, how cool is that??

And yet despite having such amazing access to all this FREE content that you don’t have to do a DAMN thing to get while getting it almost INSTANTLY, people use it as an opportunity to bash and call out groups.

So before you go and publicly crown yourself “internet douchebag,” realize how lucky we are.
