I saw a young person talking about how they just bought 6 vinyls from their favorite artists but that they didn’t have a “vinyl reader” to play them on yet, and I think I felt my face slide off.

@KydiaMusic I wonder if some people are buying them simply to function as a collectible and with no intention of actually playing them? Records look cool by themselves.

@HannahClover @KydiaMusic

yes, this (collecting vinyl) is definitely a huge thing among younger folks now

i have always had a turntable, and i still have a vinyl collection
showing my age but..sheet, i even know how to crossfade. DJs these days don't even use records anymore! 😂

@rustoleumlove @HannahClover

I think he had every intention of buying a turntable/record player soon, he just bought the records first. And yeah, many people buy vinyl and view it solely as merch and keep it pristine. Also for all I know, he was making a joke in calling it a “vinyl reader”

@KydiaMusic

word. that's an excellent joke
