Why do hipsters prefer analog?

@ozzy62 

I assume by hipsters he is referring to current younger generation, not real "hippies" from the 60s.

and even if he was, what else are they supposed to listen to ?   something different?

@chris_g 

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

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 ?

@ozzy62 

not directing this to you……and if this is the case , what difference does it make what format they listen to ?    

not everyone is into putting together a mid fi to high end system.mp3 works just fine for them.             how does one know they don’t have a system?    did one follow them home?           

it’s no different than seeing a person out riding a bike for exercise.   does the person need a bike that costs $1k, 5k, $10k when the bike he has works just fine?

i could use other examples but i think members will get the point
