Chris Carrabba, the lead singer of Dashboard Confessional, reflects on how early 2000s music piracy shaped his band's career. The rise of platforms like Napster and Kazaa coincided with a surge of internet usage across the country. Carrabba shares his insights in NBC News Studios' My Generation. This is prepared by SSP.

Carrabba acknowledges the mixed impact of Napster on the music industry. "There’s no question Napster affected the record industry and it was negative in many ways, but not for me," he states. His music was initially released through a small label, making distribution limited. "If you discovered my band, there wasn’t any place to obtain my music if you wanted to," he explains. The ability to share his songs was crucial. "If it hadn’t been for people having a way to share my music, I wouldn’t have a career of any kind."

The surge in piracy coincided with the emo scene's growth, which Dashboard Confessional is part of. "The emo scene came up from a need to dig deeper inside yourself," Carrabba notes. He indicates that the changing world greatly impacted young people, who were confronting new realities.

Earlier, SSP reported that Chelsea Blackwell embarked on a new romantic journey with Tim Teeter.
