Sad, but on the on the other hand not so sad, more simple inevitability really. Nobody mourns the loss of hat shops from the high street. If you want a hat, you either go to a large outlet (e.g. M&S, or John Lewis), or you seek out a boutique.

Similarly with CDs - you can pick up the popular stuff in a large shop like Asda, if you want something more specialist (which is often the case for me, as I'm looking out for Christian music) then it's the internet or a specialist retailer, usually located outside of the core of a town centre.

Your grandfather may have mourned the closure of his favourite hat shop, but you and I just wonder what the fuss is about. A future generation will wonder the same if they come across archive coverage of record shops and DVD rental stores closing down.
