Are Teenagers Keeping Vinyl Records Alive?

- There's no question the Internet opened up a whole new world of music consumption - first there were mp3 downloads, now there's a multitude of streaming music services like Spotify, Pandora, and Tidal. Digital distribution is now a dominating force in the industry. Yet something unexpected has been happening with vinyl records over the past decade - they've actually been on the rise. Nielson says vinyl record sales have steadily grown over the past ten years. And according to the RIAA, 2015 vinyl sales reached their highest level since 1988. Conventional wisdom says nostalgic baby boomers and Gen Xers are keeping this outdated format alive, but a growing number of younger fans are buying records now, too. In fact, MusicWatch reported that half of all record buyers in 2015 were under 25 years old. One of them is 16-year old-Adia Douglas - a vinyl enthusiast who just opened up her own record store in the San Francisco Bay Area. Adia was born in the digital age but was influenced by her father, a musician and longtime record collector himself. After noticing boxes of records in their home that weren't being played, Adia convinced her parents to let her open up a little shop to sell new and used vinyl. Now she's there most days after school, selling records to customers who are sometimes younger than she is.

can't wait for cassette tapes to come back and i can roller blade with my walkman again yee
Me too... I have a twin cassette deck. Tape will be back
They already are in some cirlces. My local record shop has a pretty big tape wall which is great for me because my beater car only has a tape deck and a radio.
omgstoptakingnames roller SKATE. Not blade.
Jay Knibbs i hope not
~ They already have, and the simultaneous appreciation for cassettes AND vinyl began in the early 1990s. Cheers, DAVEDJ ~
Glad to see I'm not the only one
I like vinyl for the cover art and the more physical parts of the music
That’s the main thing. Great decorations that you can listen to when you feel like it.
I think there are 2 kinds of teenagers who listen to vinyl, the actual music lover who invest a lot of time and effort into her collection and the other is the hipster paying 25 bucks for a record in horrible condition, playing it on a Crosley than post to instagram how good he is. I can't hate them though because all of the people buying vinyl help to keep non-digital music alive. Btw the girl in the vid is lovely :D
Bera Viktor I'm the dedicated vinyl collecter and makes sure they stay in as best condition as I could possibly make them
True mate. I am a real music fan and really bowie that 's why i payed 70 euros on a bowie record store album which is only side a side b doesn't have any grooves
Bera Viktor can't stand those type of vinyl collectors. Playing expesnsive albums through poor, cheap HMV, Whalmart vinyl players
Bera Viktor invest lot of time into nonsense
Ever thought that passion comes in different forms? What you see as an album in bad condition someone else might see as well used and be worth more personally because of all the stories that well used album has
Based on those statistics I guess the music industry is far from dead.
modern music is nearly dead, old school music is still alive:)
A lot of modern music is down right bad in my opinion. Old school music will never die.
yeet machine exactly
@@DavidEsparza2143 no. i dont think i really need to say more cause you are clearly didnt even heard shit in the last decade and prob saw the top 10 hottest tracks and cringed then said "this gen oh so sad" so pls just dont talk dissrespectfull if you only listen to "classics"
I approve this message :D
Dude i love your videos, i approve of your message!
I'm 13, what is the best cheap record player, or buy second hand?
The Audio-Technica AT-LP120 is a good turntable which costs about $300.00. It's not as good as a Technics but it is still pretty good and not as expensive.
+Conor Diamond Know that if you buy second hand, you'll likely need need a phono stage. These can be bought separately at Guitar Center, or found on a vintage stereo reciever. Try a vintage Pioneer, Technics or Sansui. Just don't by those little plastic Crosleys, Ions or anything similar.
+Julian West I know, both my mother's Sony ta f55 and my dad's marantz pm 5003 have a phono stage(but I'll probably use the Sony,because it sounds so much nicer and of course, because vintage), and I may even just use my mother's regs planar 2 turntable.
stickers directly on the jacket noooooooooo.
I thought the same hahahha
RealSoundAdrian
Cute girl though I can't believe she is only in high school haha.
ryacus my David Bowie record cover got destroyed because of that
Hell i see that on album covers at flea markets i visit now & then! What's the big deal about that?
Daniel Laubach 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ sometimes if you peel it off it will tear the jacket or it will leave a glue mark on the Beautiful artwork that is on the jacket or if you leave it on it’s fucking Hideous
Teenagers are keeping it alive and they will kill it by buying crosley turntables.
Just as much as people in the 80's buying the cheapest turntables, or destrying tapes with cheap decks. Nothing has changed.
"Vinyl sounds horrible! Cassettes sound horrible!" Says my mother to me as my records are clear and crisp and my cassettes are warm and never "Chewed up." Maybe if they didn't record cassettes from the radio, the tapes would sound decent!
an Offensive Narwhal Some kids aren't bad. I'm 15 and just bought a TEAC TN-300 with most of my money. I'm using all my dad's Led Zeppelin and other albums of the 60's to 80's, and it's fun. Just the hipsters use the Crosleys, which is good because they will keep buying records without knowing what's killing em. Hopefully they will invest in a better turntable. As for me, I'm just getting started on my collection.
an Offensive Narwhal True Crosley Cruiser suck so bad but places like UO sell them to people for nothing so...
Some people call me a hipster because I listen to Vinyl, but I tell them I don't have a crosley, I have an Audio Technica AT-LP120!
For me vinyl never went away, still collecting after 4 decades. No way is digital technology going to replace my collection. There just isn't any value in bits of data stored on some device. Vinyl is the total package, tangible and physical art work as well as product you can put your hands on.
Digital isn't going to replace physical mediums anyway as long as there's no streaming service that offers every song in the world. There's just too many soundtracks and indie songs that you can't find on RUclips or Spotify.
True. I only listen to music on digital on my car. I listen to LPs at home.
I started collecting vinyl in 8th lmao, my dad went to the flea marker and got me an old record player and some records. Now I'm hooked and also still collect cds. Moral is I'm broke and have no life okay bye lmao
haha same to the last sentence
@@Liam-eb6zb lolwut
Me and my friends(age 16) wanted to try vinyl so we pulled out one of our parents old record player and had to google how to use it. Now we all have our own player and growing collection. We're in no way hipsters, just music fans and wanted to branch out and try to introduce ourselves to more music.
@Tai Lopez and even then, just buy fucking CDs or, if you're really hipster, buy tapes. They're way simpler to get, cheaper, last longer and are way fucking less pretentious.
@Tai Lopez because for me I look at records and buy them based on looks and the genre without looking up artists so it's a surprise when I get home
Rock on. I am so glad for the two of you.
@@heckicusdoomicuswizardus1382 CDs are not the same at all. With Vinyl, you get giant cover art and big discs that you have to turn around when you're at around half the album. No other form of music medium has this level of interaction. It's not about being cool, it's about forcing yourself to listen only to one album at a time and focusing on it completely with no distractions.
And, when I go to record stores, the store owner or employee plays their own vinyl, and I discover more music that way. I can also ask them for recommendations or even just flipping through all their records, I can find some very good stuff. Last place I went to, I flipped through hundreds of records and managed to find some great ones for less than 10$, one of them as low as 2$, which is a popular album. They are all used but that is the best way to enjoy this medium in the most part because it is going to be too expensive otherwise. For the albums I love which are too rare to find used, I don't mind getting them new though.
My 29 year old son bought a record player from the goodwill and figured out how to listen to it with a special cable attached to the speakers of a cd player/radio. Some guy at work brings records he sells to my son from his car. I bought him a Santana Album years ago for the album cover. My son has a small collection of Santana records. I mostly listen to the soundcloud app. The radio station kalx seems to have a vinyl collection. I heard one of the djs say the new vinyl they were playing was pink.
DJing got me into buying records. The internet has certainly made that easy. I've probably bought 3/4 of my records through the internet. Personally I'm not so sure the sound quality is really all that different, but I enjoy the interaction with the medium, the sleeve artwork. Really, I just enjoy getting my hands on something rather than spending even more time staring at a screen.
Lots of folks in the comments firing off about "hipsters", but really who cares? I don't get it, do you criticize kids for spending all their time on their phones, but then criticize them for getting out and socializing at a record store and interacting with a physical medium of music? How should kids act? Seems like a bunch of old farts hating on kids not being exactly like them.
Aleluya man!
I find that Vinyl is more warm than music you hear on a computer or from a cd because on cd and computer music is more bright. I personally like vinyl and cd and music downloaded on a computer and do not have a preference. BTW I like listening to music on iTunes with custom equalizer settings that I put and headphones that are good. I also listesten to songs on my iPod Classic which can hold more songs than most other iPods. On my channel I have a video that has the custom equalizer settings I put on my Samsung Galaxy S4.
I love how big vinyl record covers are. And sometimes they even have cool stuff on the inside of the covers. I also love how there are different looking vinyls that are not just black. I hope that one day there will be a portible record player that is good and you can use in a moving vechicle without your record getting destroyed.
Word - here too !!
***** +Arthur Thao feel the real, Is not that? I completely agree with you.
i apreciate almost everything in the video but PLEASE don't stick prices directly on LP's sleeves and put them into plastic covers.
YES! I found a good pressing of Billy Joel's "Cold Spring Harbour" for $10 and was totally let down to see the price sticker on the front of the album, not on the plastic.
yeah I'm 13 and just started my vinyl collection even though I have 2 records lol I love vinyl I save every cent I have to try to go to the mall and buy a new record.
way to go! same age i bought my favourite album - soul mining - and 34 years later i still look back at the endless joy you get from your very own personal find that no one had heard of. let us know which album will turn out to be your holy grail!
Magic Baretta What turntable do you have?
nice, what records? also +chuck soul mining is so great what's your fav song from it? my first favourite album was siamese dream btw
i'd recommend you try and find a record store cause malls fcking scalp you for records, they're like $10-$20 more expensive sometimes. just a tip.
I'm 14 and recently I found my grandma's record player and some records. I really like it, so I'm saving up money to buy my own record player.
Lol there's this girl at my school who is a total hipster and has records of like Pink Floyd and has a Crosley and carries skull candies around her neck every day and i just wanna tell her that she doesn't know good audio stuff since no one knows i actually collect vinyl.
FierceKoolAid Please get her away from those Floyd albums before she destroys them
Tbh there are so many reprints for sale on amazon so it isn't a big deal. Plus I don't want to just kill her vibe or whatever, For someone like her, she probably won't realize the difference because from what I know the Crosley's just really screw up the dynamic range.
FierceKoolAid I just hope she's not playing her dad's first-presses or something. The best for her would probably be bootleg colored vinyl presses because they have absolutely no real value, but still look cool.
Nah she's not that type of person. She basically looks kinda like someone that would work at hot topic or something. I doubt her dad had anything, pretty sure she just wants to be cool or something
FierceKoolAid Oh, well, I just hope she doesn't buy any sort of record that's valuable
youtube comments will be youtube comments... so much anger in some people
Never lost interest in vinyl. Born in the 70's and been buying it since the 80's and always will do. It will always be a far better sound than any other format
As a newly-adult-still-teenager this is like the least shocking thing ever. I've been collecting vinyl since I was 12, and I was real confused a few years ago when my friends started asking me questions and talking about vinyl, because up until that point no one gave a shit. But I'm glad it's back on trend, nothing beats the sound of your favorite album on vinyl if you've got a nice set up.
No way she's only 16
I was giving her 25 at least.
Early 20s
Genetics
That's because in USA food has a lot more hormones than in Europe and so people tend to look older because of more estrogen/testosterone since half of the GMO stuff and what not is straight on banned in Europe.
Specially the hormones they put in cows that then give it to us in milk.
im 15 years Old and i collect Vinyls. I Love them
Records*
@@Jo_Wardy sorry, english isn‘t my native language.
Anyone who says it sounds different is wrong. What people really look for in buying records is developing a collection and getting art work. People like records because they're inconvenient and you have to play through the full LP because skipping to specific songs is tedious. But ultimately there has never been a difference in the audio.
try again
This is all theoretical. Yes, vinyl has a physical limitation to how good it can sound, because it has only so much space for grooves and we only press to so much precision. But its all theoretical. The best quality vinyl verse the best quality digital, most couldn't tell the difference. Digital audio is theoretically limitless but the vast majority doesn't even get close to what its capable of and thats what the masses get on iTunes, Spotify and RUclips. Even CD is physically limiting how good the audio can be because of its encoding standard. Obviously vinyl is uncompressed, and it should be using different masters so its not subject to the loudness wars. It objectively has a different sound. Yeah, its more inconvenient, but nobody picks up vinyl because they want the inconvenience. They pick up vinyl because they want music that engages the senses. High quality music, listening to music you'd otherwise skip on Spotify, finding albums you wouldn't search for, having the album art, photos, liner notes etc.
I'm 25 and I collect and listen to vinyl. That said, the intro is a good example of how to lie with statistics. Even if vinyl sales have been increasing, it still only makes up about three percent of total music sales, and in any case will never be dominant again as it was in the pre-digital age.
Hey the dad has slayer reign in blood that was my first record (got the 1st pressing)
I'm 11, I collect records. I love 78s and play them on my grandparents Teac turntable with a 78 stylus.
My fourteen year old niece wanted a record player this past Christmas and got in addition to a retro Crosley, a whole bunch of albums. David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust, Elton John - Goodbye Yellowbrick Road, The Beatles - Sgt Pepper, Elvis, and she loves Queen. When I found out about her interest in Vinyl I couldn't believe it and was totally ecstatic. So great to know so many kids have gotten into it despite the more convenient digital music format. I plan to setup a new system and buy some classic stuff for myself.
Im 22 and i never thought vinyls were obsolete. The sound is always much better.
I never lost my interest in vinyl!
I think part of the reason for the popularity of vinyl records is most of the material is from before the modern of corporate media and everything on the radio and even TV is advertiser save, inoffensive and boring. The younger people e with a descent ear for music can tell what garbage most current popular music is these days.
she looks way older.
There is a different feel to using a laptop and spottily because the speakers are most likely cr*p, wanna have a experience better than a laptop don't use Vinyl get a good speaker. Not to mention vinyl is the worst thing if you care anything about keeping the audio clarity for any length of time, you know whats so good about digital? no matter how meany times you use it it will sound the exactly the same.
All this technology and people discard it, take advantage of it, never acknowledging the amount of effort was put into changing and improving the media that we use to listen to music. Hipsters stop taking 20 steps backwards... You are the reason I have lost the will to live.
I have 65 year old records that still sound new and I play them all the time try again
@@EricBrownBey me too. And they sound 10 times better than the same album on CD. And we know why. Thanks to stupid mastering so called engineers and their loudnes wars.
Damn, guess I've been hip since 1988. Same record player, amp and sound system my dad bought me.
I didn't even know they were still selling vinyl in 2016 but I stumbled upon a Fall Out Boy album in Lp format on amazon recently and ever since that Ive been buying records and its great!
My uncle is an avid record collector and bought me a turn table for Christmas one year. That was the start. When I got an iPod, I stopped buying records "gee, $20 for the lumineers vs free MP3 from the pirate bay..." I got back into records when I realized that I lost something. I lost quality and feel. Now I dig every crate in thrift stores and see the old man at the record shop downtown whenever possible. Records: my favorite hobby, no wait, LIFESTYLE!
What got me to try records was the loudness war, I'm tired of it lol. When I first played a vinyl, I immediately noticed that it sounded more natural and had awesome treble and bass without turning on any EQ.
vinyl will ALWAYS be better
you dont need a processor
just a good turntable,amp,and speakers
Cameron, you know what headphones are?
Derpking 35 You forgot about the pre-amp
ReptilianBlades well... unless you are a pleb you use a tube preamp and a tube amplifier
Cameron Lawson Yeah... But no - get a good FLAC format song and some very good headphones and it will sound better than vinyl records. Most studios butcher the songs on digital format to make them sound louder and thus they destroy any good quality it might have, but if it's not butchered - digital songs sound as good if not better than vinyls
Teen entrepreneur, vinyl lover....this vid did my old heart good.
I'm from the vinyl generation, I love vinyl and I listen to CDs as well. I am glad records are making a comeback even if its a small one.
Wow great video and keep up with your passion of listening to record albums. Remember the iPod? Well after listening to mine for about 4 years because it was convenient I went back to pulling out my CDs as I took a whole new interest in them. Now I am doing the same thing with vinyl albums and this is the format I grew up listening to and it sounds great all over again. Anyway back to you and good luck with your record store and keep the music alive and don't let the negative comments ruin your spirit, Keep it going!
This is very good news. Rock on to the analogue sound.
I started collecting when I was 13 my first LP record was a Loretta Lynn album and I still have it 5 years later and my collection has grown to hundreds of LP And 45s
Started out on vinyl and cassettes as a kid. Fell for CD's when they came out. My vinyl was dormant for about 20 years and then one day I just got back into it about 10 or 15 years ago for the better sound, and I'm going very strong with it. I actually enjoy my vinyl collection much more today than I did in the past, because I now know how to clean, maintain, and store vinyl better. The sound quality is just better than any other format and who can resist the wonderful album art and tweaking your sound system to get the best sound? I love some of the new reissues with their deluxe remastering, packaging, and treatment. Both new and used vinyl have me hooked for life.
Nice going, very cool. Search RUclips for "vinyl community" you will find a world wide subculture of vinyl collectors, purchases, band info and anything you wanted to know about any music genre. It is fantastic, and you will learn a lot.
I'm 17. I've been a massive fan of David Bowie for about a year now, but have been a fan of 60's-80's music for a few years. I've very recently started to collect and play Bowie records.
I still listen vinyl! Have many turntables for variety.
I'm 14 years old and last year I also got into collecting vinyl and it makes listening to music a much more interesting and powerful experience than just listening to my mp3s.
I am really happy that vinyl is coming back and that people get back to analog music.
Great Video!
I Bet they can't tell the difference between a very good audio file and a Analog recording
I know, get a good DAC and it might even sound better than vinyls.
It's not just about sound quality, though. Music has become so cheap, with songs being downloadable for $0.99 or even steamed online for free. Records, on the other hand, are heavy. They're expensive. They're tangible. They require sacrifice to acquire. When you buy a record, you're making an investment and displaying your loyalty to the band.
Seth Moore There are *also* other ways to invest and show loyalty to artists. Labels are welcome to sell higher quality say 24bits 192KHz lossless audio at higher price. This can be purchased physically or downloaded. Either ways it will remedy the issues that comes with vinyls and provide better quality audio and in the same way support artists.
+Moyukh Shabon but DACs are not fun. I live watching a record spin.
LDSRaichu Lol
this whole vinyl revival youtube thing with teenage girls gushing over vinyl is really fucking old. I watched the video for 2 minutes out of curiosity but was left with the same cringe worthy feeling I get from most videos discussing this topic. The whole "revival" only exists with young trendy people getting into it for the first time, when in all actuality, vinyl never went away its always been here and the die hard geeky fan boys and girls have always been here.
Metalheads are keeping vinyl alive
Chief pineapple 🤘
Damn straight
Preach it man, preach it.
Yea but its also hip hop heads too
agreed
Who else is a teen and still buys CDs?
aaliyah jackson
I love buying Cd's
aaliyah A well mastered CD with a 80s or 90s CD player could be possibly the best way
To listen to music.
I never stopped listening to vinyl. I always loved it. What I have done is went from 2 Dual turntables to 9. I use them all. With different cartridges. I listen to all kinds of music, except modern rock. I use the table to go with the type of music played. Big Band, Classical, rock, and easy listening
I started collecting early last year because of sound quality, supporting artists by actually buying music & having a nice physical copy that I can hold onto for years to come. I'm 20
Unfortunately I'm not a teenager any more (early 30s), but I appreciate youngsters who listen to vinyl. When listening to an LP, I can believe that the band is playing in my room. When listening to a CD, not to mention mp3 or RUclips, I can't.
Today this lady introduced me to WARPAINT !!! I could never be more thankful 🙏
I'm a pretty hipster kid and I like vinyl and cd's because it gives me a more satisfying feeling having the physical copy rather than mp3. but when you don't have that physical copy, your only choice is digital.
like what boogie said in his gamestop rant video. with digital you get nothing but air.
I always hate it with my guts when someone puts a damn price sticker on the jacket... and here we have caught the culprit in the act, on video... has she not learned anything since she was 10? As a vinyl lover?
Those of us who never stopped buying/listening to vinyl are pretty happy right now :)
I love the sound of vinyl i am 17 and recently bought records and a turntable
I've been to local record stores in my area, and while I have seen a wide range of customers buying new and used LPs, the majority seem to be in their twenties to thirties. I've seen hardly any teenagers, or hipsters, shopping at record stores. They must be getting their records at the same place they got their crappy Crosleys, at Barnes and Noble, or Hot Topic!
I mean the fact that FYE, Barnes & Noble, Urban Outfitters, Books a Million & other places are selling vinyl records is showing that it's growing. I remember Barnes & noble use to only have a small section of records & it was mostly Lana Del Rey & popular albums that came out. I also remember Best Buy had a small section behind the CDs & I thought it was so cool, because Best Buy was the only place I knew where to get them at the time. Sadly Best Buy doesn't carry them in the store anymore, but I know a lot of places closer to me that Carry's old & new records. It's kind of awesome because now it's more easier for people to get them.
I absolutely love records and I just turned 20 in October :) I have a record player and a few records and I would love to have a huge collection one day :)
00:02 How to permanently scratch all your records.
I'm about to turn 24, and I heard the Force Awakens soundtrack on vinyl--that was the first time in my life I can recall ever wanting vinyl.
Muita jotka tuli enkun yo-kokeesta?
Cyka blyat?
I work at furnace record pressing in va and was looking for something cool to share with my coworkers. glad I stumbled onto this
who cares if its "hipsters" or whoever buying records now. im not gonna hate on ANYONE furthering the culture no matter how often they do it.
Now i want to open my own record store here in my town
Vinyl never went away. For the masses it just had a rest and went quiet for a while. In my music circles (House, Trance, Hard House, Techno, UK Breakbeat Hardcore, Jungle etc) vinyl never went away :-)
It made me happy when the first album she pulled out was Oracular Spectacular
0:55 yeah...I see youre experienced in vinyl....ouch...
Yeah that really fucking hurt.
Was thinking about joining this small record playing community by buying a record player and vinyl.....but this community is literally filled with people who hate on others music taste and record players.....idk if I want to join it anymore.....
Megan Parker they are use
They are use to their own little bubble of instant music
I’m 26 and I love vinyl records. Listening to vinyl records is better than downloading music onto an iPod in my personal opinion. I also still listen to compact cassettes as well.
I have been buying records since I was 5, I'm now 41. I have never downloaded music and I don't intend to. This video makes me happy.
Represses being more expensive and usually shittier in quality compared to originals is the biggest issue I see. Represses would be a great way to support the artists through album purchases again, and I do buy them, but since it's not guaranteed it's a good pressing these days, more and more often I just get the original pressing (out of the last 6 LPs I've gotten, only 2 were recent represses bought from retail).
Vinyl records have a 3 dimensional sound that is missing in digital formats.
That's not how sound works?
john tracy wtf
No, the reason why digital files sound so bad is because most people are exposed to overcompressed shit files (RUclips compresses everything to 255kbps for example). Get a good record, maybe even a FLAC format song AND good headphones and you're good to go, it might even sound better.
U wot m8
That Warpaint record is one of my favorites too. Funny thing I was in a used record store digging though there records and not finding anything I was looking for. The stores cashier had this Warpaint record on the stores sound system. It suddenly hit me that I was drawn to Warpaint music. I when up to the counter and asked what he was playing in the store. Then I told him to bag it up for me, I'm taking it home. Only record I purchased that week.
It is absolutely amazing that a place like Amoeba can still turn a profit, in LA. I live in New York, the greatest city in the world, for the most part and we don't have one record store that big anymore, depressing!
Young people should be encouraged and applauded for taking an interest in something and investing in something that has a physical/emotional value and for improving sales of real records rather than downloading free digital throwaways. It warms the heart to see them buying into older records too and maybe this generation are not totally lost afterall and will learn to value things and good music old and new. Yes they should be guided in the right direction in terms of equipment but that is a seperate argument. There were crap record players 30 years ago too. Just like there were crap CD players and there are crap cars on the road. Other older generations used crap equipment too. So slap yourselves hard across the face for knocking this and rejoice that records are making a comeback. There is very little positivity in the world right now but this is positive.
I started collecting when I got my mom's stereo and found a bunch of records in the attic, I was 14 at the time I think. I've been interested in vinyl for about 6 or 7 years now and I absolutely love it.
I'm glad teenagers are buying vinyl , I started at 12 and am now 42 so it's an ongoing cycle once we find out the appeal we get sucked in
Thanks to the hipsters that some critize so much, I renew my interest to collect and play records. I started my collection like 10 to 12 years and stop because nobody be interest in that so much in my country. Now I can get some today's albums on vinyl and I'm very happy about that . I raise listening music through 8 track, vinyl and audio cassette. One of my greatest childhood is playing bedtime stories on my sky blue lp player.
I've always loved LP's... ALWAYS.
From my era when I was young of records really just being another of several medias to buy music on to this era that I think really sees the nostalgia of the whole thing. We didn't have a hi end system growing up. We just had a Sears combo of turntable, stereo and 8 trac. But I remember going to an audio store, still in business, and seeing all the impressive stereo stacks. I think people like the nostalgia of the old stereos systems also that helps fuel the record industry. But really, the progression isn't any different than when I was younger. It's always been tailored around convenience. I remember 8trac tapes, and records. Then it morphed into cassettes from 8 tracs then from cassettes to discs. Discs went through the same progression records did. No one wanted to lug heavy records around that were in general fragile, same for discs. Then came the digital age of downloads and then into streaming. But the nostalgia of records will always be there. There are many different reasons depending on the individual really. For some it's the sound, others it's a physical thing, others it's hunting for that lost gem or just a hobby. For me, it reintroduced me back to my youth and reminded me of all the bands and artists I forgot about. I love the hunt for records. I also find some good bands I never heard of but are really good. Just a fun hobby.
I don't know comparing the quality between your computer to a record player? How about you get an actual stereo system and then compare? Also, I couldn't relate to this. I have no experience with records and probably never will. I am very happy we live in a time where I can simply download music off the internet as I would never be able to listen to great classics like Carl Orff's Carmina Burana.
But I guess I don't care about records either as I never gravitated towards that era of music either.
Denzell Rodriguez Doesn't matter what system the music is played through. Vinyl will beat digital anytime.
Denzell Rodriguez That era of music?
Denzell Rodriguez u are clueless.
June Amarillo not true.
Hey I’m 17 and I got over 40 records. I got a audio technica AT-LP60. I have to say that vinyl sounds better then digital, sounding more alive, more real in a way. Long live vinyl!
Why do people get so offended by people buying records ? I personally enjoy collecting them & playing them & as an artist I love the artwork that comes with it
Because they often shove it in people's faces. No one gives a shit you have three copies of John Coltrane's first album on vinyl.
Similar to your dad, I am part of the "original" generation that grew up with Vinyl records. In my teenage years, in addition to collecting vinyl records, I also collected Shellac 78 RPM records which were popular during the generation before mine.
I have always enjoyed listening to vinyl records. IMO, vinyl records sound much better than mp3s.
Stop saying "vinyl records", just "records".
I guess hipsters started applying that term ever since lol, just call them records.
You do know that there are other types of records right? Vinyl is the material used and it's the most common type. Shellac was an early form that got replaced with the vinyl types we know today. So yes, calling it a vinyl record is perfectly fine. Calling it a record is fine if you don't want detail. Calling it a 'vinyl' is fucking godawful hipster speak.
Yeah I know the existence of the Shellac type.
Yeah lol just call them records.
Donald Kelly Does it really fucking matter?
Yes. Yes it does.
I started collecting 45's age 11 in early 1977. My first two records were Blinded by the Light and New Kid in Town.
Feeling proud of you that today's genaration can actually have the ear to listen music. Love from Kolkata, India
They do but it all has to do with the recent vintage fashion that invaded the world. This girl in the video has been collecting for a while but most of them here are just getting them for fashion and will abandon the thing when it gets old
To be honest growing up on wax most of my younger years once the 90’s hit in my opinion it was the club culture that kept vinyl going through those years until digital gear started dominating and the older DJ’s Producers were slowly getting replaced by the younger millennials coming along, but I’m sure it was House, Techno, and of course Hip Hop that kept pressing plants open. So the teens now definitely owe the DJ culture some thanks for preserving wax and keeping it relevant.
I got into vinyl by buying a girlfriend some records and a player about 9 years ago. I have a CD collection more or less around 900ish and I noticed that records were cheaper at the time. So I bought myself a record player and started collecting records. I mainly bought 80s records because they were dirt cheap. Since then the price of records have gone up. Less than 20% of my records are brand new. The bulk of my collection I got for less than $5 a pop, mainly $1 to $2 per records. I have more than 200 12-inch records, about a dozen or so 10-inch and odd shaped records and more than 200 7-inch records. They are fun but the old school problems of the weight and only being able to really listen to them in one place comes up.
On one hand: I hate that records are becoming more popular. I remember going into thirft shops paying $1-$2 per record and now im paying up to $10, depending on the alblum.
But on the other Hand: its nice to talk to more people my age about my collection and favorite albums.
I too start my record listening experience because of my dad, my first record player was a 1989 Jensen record, dual cassette, radio combo unit with stand and the "giant" speaker box's that only held three speakers each.
I myself just went to a record store the other day, so I started thinking about this video and decided to watch it again. I like the fact that she is very open minded when it comes to music formats, I myself am the same and it is nice to see that in other people!
The internet has helped me get into Vinyl for sure. Got myself a decent Audio Technica and of course a few new albums. My personal Fave from my collection so far is Coldplay Parachutes.
16 and I've been collecting records since about 2016 I think. I was in the 8th grade when a friend's dad gave me Def Leppard's On Through the Night. Then Krokus' Headhunter and Saxon's Strong Arm of the Law and so on... now it's 2018, I'm a sophomore and I've got about 102 records including 45s.
Actually no since i was in 7th grade, 2014. I was 13.
listening to music is like playing an instrument, sure there's nothing wrong with an electric keyboard, but nothing could ever beat the feel of an acoustic piano
The kids in my school make fun of me for collecting vinyl records but I personally don't care
Silence of the hills What turntable do you have?
Silence of the hills they are called “records”
They won't laugh forever. They probably envy the fun you're having.
Just know that they dont know the fun you have
There stupid have no idea how cool vinyls are
