Miss my teenhood so much

@val70 I think you exaggerate. Vinyl records are back only in a very small way. Most people don’t have the equipment to play them.

@RedBaron I've worked in a public library for over thirty years. Of course, the classics aren't read that often than anything trashy and new, but they're still there

@val70 But that’s irrelevant to vinyl records.

Digital and computer-based technologies have resulted in superior quality and sound for listening to recorded music, so new is not synonymous with trashy.

If anything, the uneven, sometimes scratchy, sound produced by the stylus on vinyl is old and trashy compared to the quality of today’s streaming.

That’s why very few people, and nobody younger than maybe 50, choose to go to the trouble of playing vinyl records instead of playing CDs or just streaming.

@RedBaron That's your opinion alright :)

@val70 It’s fact unless you can prove otherwise.

@RedBaron Having an opinion on anything to be either still practical of use or even cultural is never about mere facts

@val70 OK. Live in the past if that’s your thing.

@RedBaron 2023 stats show 43 million vinyl albums sold and 1.4 billion in revenue. The most sales since the 80s and outsold CDs.
