Why do hipsters prefer analog?


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

@mrteeves That’s when I started buying records also.  Circa ‘05.  This was the all-time nadir of vinyl sales.  Man alive, if I knew then what I know now. 
I would walk out of record stores in Seattle with 10 LPs in my bag, each one for about $1.  Even with my vast uptick in finicky-ness and extensive purging of sub-par pressings for the past 5-odd years, I still have some of those great-sounding pressings I got for $1.  They would command 20x-30x the price now.

Reminds me of a line from the BBC program Life on Mars -  "So you drive a military vehicle".

 

Oz:

This the only bunboy I've ever cared for (visited a few times while traveling from LA to Las Vegas) but unfortunately it's now history.

It was located next to the world's tallest thermometer (which hopefully survived) in in Baker, CA.

Next - why did the hipster cross the road?

 

To get to the other side where the new audio store is.

"these hipsters, with the pants and the hair and their records..." is something people have been saying since 2005. that's almost 20 years ago. grumbling about "hipsters" in 2022 is like somebody in the late 90's still complaining about disco dancers
