Don't... need... music...? There are plenty of free streaming options, or even the damn radio. Premium Spotify is far from the only option.
Being able to listen to anything you want whenever you please is 100% a luxury -- and one that wasn't available until pretty recently.
I really wonder about the age of the posters. I remember when the norm for music was $1 a song, which very quickly became $1.29. Spotify is so incredibly dirt cheap compared to that. But if people didn't experience that heyday of $1 per song, they're looking at this from a completely different perspective.
