Some of us "hillbillies," and "rednecks," were the "smart folks" who built our record collections when the "geniuses in the know" were dumping their record collections at garage sales and thrift stores after they bought into Sony’s propaganda campaign of "Perfect Sound Forever."
Although its getting to be slim pickings comparatively speaking, good records can still be found at garage sales, thrift stores, and elsewhere for those not to lazy to hunt for them.
The same can be said for CD’s. I was looking through the CD’s at the local Goodwill store recently when a man walked by with his young son and commented to me that "CD’s are sooo 1990." I didn’t ask for his opinion, but he rudely offered it anyway. I was left wondering if he was enjoying his MP3 player.
Me thinks the OP "assumes" way too much.
