advantages of vinyl:
>looks cooler
>early pressings of old albums (up until the 80s) often sounds better than a cd reissue

I know.
Music is devalued these days. Once is was a scarce commodity: make a long trip to a venue to listen to it live, flip through the racks of a used CD shop looking for a gem. Now you can call up almost everything, no matter how obscure. Anyone can be an expert googling up rare release data and band histories, no one needs to follow a band any more. So people have created an artificial scarcity difficulty to cult listening in order to give it value.

Does Fripp know you steal albums?
I only buy vinyl when the music i want is only available on vinyl.
Same with cassette tapes, a lot of dope ass music is only on cassette.

It's literally a status symbol.
If you have time, space and money to devote to collecting vinyl you can feel like you're better than people who just stream and download music.
digital music cheapens the experience.

Sure, sometimes I use torrent, but I also buy dozens of cds every month.
I like to own physical media, and cds are a lot cheaper.

That's bullshit.
You can listen to a digital album with the utmost attention and you can put a vinyl on a turntable and then do other stuff minding your own business and leaving the music as a background noise.

I prefer to listen to music on vinyl instead of on my laptop because sometimes i watch porn on my laptop and jerk off

You're not a true vinyl aficionado until you've jerked off onto your turntable.
The semen really helps add to the complexity of the sound.
