Anonymity is bliss.

Sometimes I wonder if people buy a wider variety of music online because they can do it in the privacy of their homes and can keep their selections a secret. They don't have to show them to their friends or even to the person at the register in the record store, so they don't feel like they're going to be judged by what they want to buy. I wonder if music has become something of a secret for some people who have one face they show to their friends and the general public and another that they have for themselves. I wonder how many music collections have those dirty little secrets where the person who's supposed to be so into the Indie or Metal scene has a few choice Pop albums tucked away in a dark corner. I bet there are more than you'd think, and I'd even go so far as to say that we all have at least one so-called secret album or song.
