This is fake because "burning" is a CD specific term, and no real Gen Z would know that you "burn" a CD to put music on it.

Most would probably just assume it works like a USB stick or any regular digital storage format.

It's like how a hilariously large amount of people don't know what the origin of "mixtape" is. They think its just a word that defines music mixes, because no one knows what a cassette player is anymore, or that people actually used to create and sell mixtapes.

Sell? I remember it as how to tell if someone fancied you :)

Do kids these days just make playlists and send links?!

1st question, selling mixes tapes was popular in larger cites. The movie Hackers even had a scene with it (although that may have been a CD).

Not sure. "I think" just sending individual song links in Spotify is the thing.

Or the benefits of that sweet chromium oxide cassette tape...
