Why do hipsters prefer analog?


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

It's sad when they rip the gears and drop bars off a perfecly good bike and singlespeed it

 " I don't care why hipsters are listening to vinyl.  I am just glad they are since it helps keep a very good format alive"

I guess in the end I agree with kingharold. These guys/gals are keeping the format alive. They are saying, "this older stuff is cool, worth having, worth spending money on, worth enjoying". They are taking a piece of history and preserving it their own way. I can appreciate that.

Hipsters do not do it because of the way it sounds.  They like the cool brand of athletic clothing,  they like vinyl or cassettes because retro is cool, they need to do cool stuff, so everyone can see how cool they are.  Cool!
