Are record collectors the hat tippers of music?

Nothing about vinyl "just works", it's a surprisingly complicated hobby, as compared to CDs or digital music --but those aren't hobbies.

I have a vinyl collection but definitely don't consider it a hobby, I just think it's fun--and good furniture. I don't know if it's the best format and don't care if it is or isn't. They're fun.

Post a time stamp of a single record you own that isn't anywhere on the internet

>>74737345
Pretty much this. I just have some from a few artists I really like, and they're just decorative items around my house.

Hurr durr people who have interests beyond disposable mass consumer culture are fedora tippers. This used to be a forum of self described elitists, shame..

It's funny when an OP tries to make a troll thread and it doesn't take off. Lol at your "life" OP.

Lol.

>>74737394
Crying at you thinking that vinyl isn't mass consumer culture. So many people I know go record shopping every weekend and never even listen to the albums, which is fine but don't act like vinyl is some anti corporate statement

>>74737373
That's not the point, YouTube quality is trash, you could've at least said Spotify/digital download for a better argument

Vinyl is the best format to have albums on if you have a permanent home (and the money that comes with that), transporting them is a pain otherwise

I don't give a shit if you buy vinyl or not, there's perfectly legit reasons to dislike vinyl. Just don't have a brainlet tantrum that people like vinyl for reasons you didn't even know about.

Now go listen to your lofi chill compilation youtube streams with earbuds.

if you've got one of those all in one box record players with speakers built in then off yourself

it's only worth it if you have a high end amp, speakers and record player

record collecting will come and go and if you just buy rare presses then they're likely to be worth something in the future, can you say that for an mp3?

Records are dope!

>>74738335
you could have said that exact same thing in the 1970s and even more when CDs came out though and people are buying rare record for tens of thousands of pounds right now the market is booming

you can't predict trends and I can't really see a new form of physically music being invented seeing as how we live in such a digital age, older records will just keep increasing in value

>>74738298
When my great grandpa died and he had this huge records collection of 78s we just threw em away. Nobody gave a shit about dusty shitty music that takes away space.

Hahahahahahahaha kid, records are already sinonomous with bearded glasses wearing fedora tipping faggots precisely because of this shitty trend

This new generation of kids are already laughing at nu males collecting grandpas records to larp as Le gentlemen. It's over kid

>>74738427
not saying it's not but as an investment the market is booming because of all the nu males willing to buy them

you can buy £5 7inch limited edition record store day singles and they are selling for £50-£200 on ebay right now

even if you don't give a shit about the actual record or the format of listening to music there's still a lot of money to be made buying and selling records

especially if you have rare older records as they reach the thousands

>>74738466
For how much longer?
3 years? Kids are already laughing at you

Sell your shit now before this garbage trend dies and so you can preserve your last shred of your dignity you larping, hat tipping faggot

>>74738512
So how can you say for sure that it won't come back again in 10-20 years. People like physical music formats and there wont be any new ones past CD and CD definitely won't become collectable because 90% of all CDs on earth are scratched to shit. Tape is experiencing a bit of a revival but it wont be big because people like the big artwork.

There will always be a small constant vinyl market it just booms every so often and that is sell and buy while it is slower. It's simple economics really. Even if I get stuck with a bunch of worthless records I can still enjoy listening to them until it picks up again.

>>74738577
*tips hat*

>>74737284
It's more about the collection than anything else. I'm well aware of the fact that vinyl doesn't sound better, in fact it sounds worse than the best digital tracks.

For one, you'll always have the physical album, a large sized print of the album art (being the sleeve), and sometimes there's sweet bonuses that come with it, for instance the licence plate from Death Grips' GP, or the several neat things that came with Maudlin of the Well's Bath/Leaving Your Body Map box set. Also, when the album is colored differently, my dick gets painfully hard, so there's that, too. So again, it's all about the collection, as pretentious as that may be.

It actually depends on how you treat it, if you can't stop talking about it it probably means you're a fedora tipping asshole

if you're not preachy or posting photos of your records everyday then you just like them and that's ok.

Now.. coming to /mu/ to talk about anything is truly Fedora-core

I can respect OP for being really dedicated to his shitposting, but unless you own a full soundsystem for your turntable plus good speakers and headphones, then fuck off. You know shit about audio quality if you've listen to 192kps tracks through a decent system and thought they were no different than a record.

Saying collecting vinyls is impractical is the stupidest thing. It's music, huge amount of money and Earth's resources wasted in creating sounds that are just for recreation, they contribute nothing to humanity. Therefore I don't see the point in saying anything against vinyls.
You can say analog sound and .flac are just a placebo/illusion, but music itself is just an illusion too. If you enjoy it more then it's worth spending more money on it.
