Why do hipsters prefer analog?

"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 

If a tree falls in the forest, and someone records it, will the hipster prefer to have it on vinyl or cassette?

Maybe because it sounds..."gasp"... *better*.

so you are saying that everybody that listened to vinyl, cassettes and 8 tracks, R2R, were all hipsters ?

what were they suppose to listen to ?

 

how does one even come up with something like this ?

I’m referring to anyone that started listening to analog after the year 2000. There are true users, and then there are hipsters!!!

The Urban Dictionary describes "hipsters" as people that try too hard to be different (and genuinely do think that they're being different), by rejecting anything they deem to be too popular.
Ironically, so many other people also try too hard to be different that they all wind up being the exact same, so hipsters aren't actually different at all, they are just people that are snobbier and more annoying about their taste in "alternative" things, which are all popular now thanks to the other hipsters.
Hipsters pride themselves on liking things that no one else likes, and normally only really like them because they think no one else likes them and that they are being unique. This is being delusional because all the other hipsters also like the same things.
