The resurgence of vinyl the last 10-15 years has largely been, “millennials,” and now, “Gen Z.”
Ditto for the cassette thing. Hilarious.
There was a different fella than normal, a younger fella behind the desk at one of the record stores I frequented almost daily a few years back, and he told me, “I only listen to cassettes.” I didn’t know if he was serious at first. He was indeed serious, as I eventually realized after (barely) stifling my laughter.
It is bound to bottom out as vinyl’s damn expensive, people have crap for money, and kids realize how much easier and cheaper it is to just stream.
Then it might make a “comeback” again.
There’s not much to see here.
It survived the ‘90s and ‘00s.
Did vinyl sales just hit the proverbial brick wall?
Interesting read here about the state of vinyl. Personally, I had no idea what the percentage of vinyl sales was “merchandise” never to be opened or played.
