Why do hipsters prefer analog?


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

Hipsters do not do it because of the way it sounds.  They like the cool brand of athletic clothing,  they like vinyl or cassettes because retro is cool, they need to do cool stuff, so everyone can see how cool they are.  Cool!

What’s the matter with kids, today?

What a dumb thread, even by the almost unimaginably low standards of this forum.

I guess I’m an almost former Hipster. I mostly listen to CD or CD ripped to the Nas, but there are a few vinyl disks that get spun from time to time.
