What's the point of vinyl when tapes exist?

Shut up
>>64290808
so you can have a physical collection without going full on bandcamp vaporwave meme
tapes are shit quality
vinyl is for cuck hipsters
CD wins
i collect both tapes and vinyl
tapes are cool because they're kind of like a time capsule for a very specific era in music, so finding a tape you like just makes it that much more special. every now and then i'll get a tape from bandcamp too
vinyl is cool because of the cover art, and it's nice to listen to when i'm just relaxing in my room

Vinyl is for plebs, cds are for contrarians, cassettes are for patricians.
What is the point of listening to other people play music when instruments exist?

Holy shit, I was not expecting that
>>64291111
holy shit, a lot of $$$ in this picture
I collect tapes because car has a tape player and because they're way cheaper.
>>64290887
there is literally no reason for bands/labels to ever release CDs in 2016. Nobody who goes to shows buys them and they cost a fuckton to manufacture

>they cost a fuckton to manufacture
Source? I've heard CDs are cheap as fuck to mass produce, certainly cheaper than tapes and vinyl but you're right that CDs are expensive compared to streaming.
>>64291111
I am actually jealous.

What's so special about that tape?
>>64291441
It depends on how many you are making, if you make around 300 cds the price isn't that much different then making 300 cassettes. Though tapes are much cheaper if you want a tiny pressing of like 50 copies.
>>64291441
Depends on the kind of music you are making, if you are making indie folk or indie rock some other shit genre you're better releasing it on cassette so the hipsters will buy it at your show.

He probably lives in Japan where CDs are actually expensive.

CDs make you almost no money on tour because they cost more to make, and as such you need to charge more and still have a smaller profit margain on each sale. Between the higher price and the pointlessness of the format in the age of lossless bandcamp downloads, nobody ever buys them, compared to cassettes where you can easily sell out of a pressing in a few shows and get three times what you spent.

I am talking about punk/noise rock/literally anything currently relevant in underground DIY culture. Cassettes are the best option for any real touring act because they are the cheapest to produce with the highest returns.
