   Solarpunk, but mildly dystopian: in the future, all recorded music is second-hand vinyl records played on antique, hand-cranked phonographs. No new records are produced, so recorded music is "carbon neutral," but the old records are starting to wear out and a lot of old music is disappearing as a result. The old classics are kept alive through live performances, as always, but archivists are worried that much of humanity's musical history is being lost.

      Yes, I know that prompt is kind of absurd. CDs, audio tapes and even digital archives would still exist, even if no one but archivists used/kept them. But that ruins the A E S T H E T I C

      Sheet music still fits, I guess, but how do you put the songs from, say, Paul's Boutique, onto sheet music?
