Things change, they don't die. The world is different than it was 10 years ago, so it's only natural to expect most of the things in it to change. People have been writing and will continue to write. The culture is what everyone is talking about changing/dying. Someone said texting is World of Warcraft for rhymers, and it is. Whether you take it seriously or you don't, it's a form of roleplaying and entertaining fantasy. Most musicians don't sing, or rap with their actual voices. It's acting. The culture of texting has realized this and a lot of people aren't able to maintain the same level of intensity with the idea of them rolling 20 sided dice and pretending to be whatever topic they're writing on this week, or whatever persona they've created for themselves lol Lots of nuances to this thing, and it's fun to talk about.
