ITT: We post hate for vinyl and vinylfags.
Shit Vinylfags Say:
>It sounds warmer.
>You appreciate music more if you actually go through the effort if looking for it. Having all of your music available at the click of a button has had a detrimental effect of people's appreciation of music.
>Vinyl actually encourages you to listen to the full album in its proper trackorder instead of being a pleb who only listens to single songs.
>You're using a Crosley? With NO COUNTERWEIGHT?!?!?! Have fun ruining all of your records.
>Vinyl is killing the mp3 industry!
>Life has surface noise!
>Wow you sure are a butthurt poorfag about the fact you can't afford vinyl. Sour grapes much?
>I just like collecting it for the artwork.
>inb4 what people collect is none of your business
We're never going to see the invigoration of a substantial music industry in our lifetimes if you keep buying into every dogshit retro trend the majors shove down your throat.
Stop with the fucking vinyl.
I think collecting vintage vinyl records sounds like a fun and reasonable hobby but people who spend money on vinyl copies of new releases amuse me to no end.
Collecting it for the artwork has nothing wrong about it and it doesn't seem to fit your other stereotypes about le hipster vinyls fags
I don't use vinyl but there's nothing wrong with it, it's probably the only storage form that won't be replaced by whatever new methods are invented

wew
>>64222549
jokes on you my mom is already dead
>>64222471
Agree 100% OP. Fuck vinyl cunts.
Nothing wrong with vinyl. Its resurgence is just a reaction to the overly digital world we live in today -- our lives are consumed by computers, phones, etc. and that has changed the way the masses have listened to music. Vinyl is the complete opposite of the digital world. It is physical, it takes up space, it requires more work, and it costs money.
At the end of the day, it's just nice to have a good hobby that doesn't require you staring at a screen for hours.
>>64222617
You raise a completely valid point. But more so because I can't stand the social media addicted world we live in with everyone staring at their screens 24/7. It's nice to escape form it.
>>64222471
Stop making fun of me for my """""hobby""""" you stupid digitalfag.
>>64222633
be careful with that edge, boy
>>64222549
nobody give him (You)s
>>64222549
mommy
>>64222658
That's not a valid argument. I take it you're addicted to your screens.
>>64222658
Where was the edge in that post?
>>64222698
i'm sorry your surface-level palahniukcore "critique" of the modern world does nothing to stimulate my massive intellect, retard
do you like my records guyz?
>mfw I rip albums from YouTube and listen with crappy headphones because I listen to music to analyze composition and lyrics and always promise myself to listen to stuff I like in higher quality but get sidetracked by all the other albums to listen to
>>64222731
You still haven't returned with a legitimate rebuttal as to why I'm wrong. Coming back with "edge lord" makes me just assume I'm dealing with someone who can't have a mature conversation about something without shit posting.
>>64222745
here's more
>>64222755
>that buzzfeed file name
>>64222755

Vinyl is noisy. Only suitable for those who do not really listen.
>>64222549
Sam...
stop spamming these threads you fag
>>64223726
Kek you're wrong
>>64222774
>>64222745
nice collection mate
>>64223743
No i am not...Wow and flutter absent with digital music. It sounds better!
Personally I just buy vinyls of albums that are either exclusive to the format, or albums that have a "vinyl vibe" to them. I own tapes and CDs too. The same rule applies to them too, or if the CD release has bonus tracks that are worth hearing.
Besides that, if I come across a really good find of course I'll pick it up. Most recently, I found a Cocteau Twins compilation, Kate Bush's Sensual World, and Brian Eno's Music For Airports in the used vinyl section at a Goodwill.
>>64222549
oi
Maybe a dumb question, but what's the point of buying vinyl when most stuff is produced digitally nowadays anyways?
>>64223877
Because it's fun to collect the art and insert slips
Also for albums with songs that merge together it sounds p cool
>>64222549
n!!!!!
>>64222549
wtf
>>64223946
>Also for albums with songs that merge together it sounds p cool
you get this digitally anyway as long as you get a decent quality rip
>>64222549
>Posting this once a day until the end of time.
>>64222617
Correct.
Despite all the shit millennials get (note: I'm a "grandpa by 4 chan standards) for being addicted to the Internet, Social Media, their smartphones, etc, it seems that more and more of them are balancing their lives with hobbies that don't involve a screen and a keyboard.
DIY seems hotter than ever, and millennials seem to be a large percentage of that resurgence, whether it's woodworking, darkroom photography, or making craft beer.
I think after growing up their whole lives on the Internet and in front of screens, millennials are starting to get bored of it. Not totally, obviously, but no longer do they want to spend 8-10 hours per day on it.
who hurt you, OP?
>>64222617
This.
I love vinyl, but even i think its a waste of money. Doesn't stop me from buying them. Also fuck you, who Fucking cares what others collect.
>>64223726
There's only noise if the record is in bad condition, or during quieter passages (in which case it should be easy to handle if you're actually listening). Unless you're talking about transients.
>>64225293
That is what is say....quiet passages are unbearable.
>>64223877
Music existed before digital production. You know that, right?
>>64225129
>>64222485
Called
>>64225524
And it never sounded as good as it does since digital music!
>>64223877
i'll actually answer this seriously :
- buying records (not "vinyl") give weight to the music-purchasing experience.
buying a bunch of digi files, while i do it occasionally, do not feel the same at all. and most of the time the record is more or less at the same price than the digis, (generally wav are around 5 euros for an EP, a 12" is 8e). this is the principal reason. and...
- because i like to DJ and doing it with records is the only proper way, for me anyway.
last point - if the music is properly produced, mastered and pressed, there shouldn't be any significant difference between the record's sound and the digital sound. only when the music sounds very digital and unglued, for example, then the slight distortion induced by the vinyl might be welcome. or when the pressing is shit and the digi sounds obviously better than the record. otherwise it doesn't sound better or worse.
>>64222518
This.
Vinyl editions of recent albums and almost all of the current reissues of the classics are basically CDs pressed on vinyl.
>>64222745
>>64222774
How come you vinylfags always own the same fucking albums?
