Radio is still cool! But it's just not really on the FCC-licensed bands anymore. Independent Internet radio stations keep the spirit alive. Look around, there very well might be a vibrant local music-and-more community right in your neighborhood! Two stations I listen to regularly here in NYC:

8 Ball Radio - https://8ballradio.nyc

Radio Free Brooklyn - https://www.radiofreebrooklyn.org
