Why do hipsters prefer analog?


Hipsters started with vinyl records, then cassettes, then 8-tracks, then R2R.  Where will they stop?

Because part of being a hipster is feigning deep appreciation for some things from a romanticized past. It's part of the uniform, like wearing a heavy knit cap in the summer heat.

I don't care why hipsters are listening to vinyl.  I am just glad they are since it helps keep a very good format alive.

I was initially concerned about local Hipsters (mainly from the Los Feliz area) gobbling up all the good vinyl, but it turns out that they only listen to The Dave Mathews Band.

However, I just tried to purchase an ugly/plaid light weight cotton short sleeved button front/pocket shirt on Amazon and they were all sold out .

HIPSTERS!!!
