Why do hipsters prefer analog?


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

Hey, don't knock the hipsters. They are listening to good formats and it's good for our hobby. Most people that age aren't into high end audio, and stream everything.

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

- Actually "hipsters" where coined in the early 1940's by exploring different music styles, mainly in jazz.

Be happy they figured out there is something other than MP3 files on phones.  

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

Yes. Most people, hipsters aside, listen to some digital form of music. Mainly MP3s streamed from the internet or stored on a phone. The "hipsters" he is referring to, at least my interpretation, are the ones who think everything retro is cool.
