Vinyl records aren’t just for your parents anymore. According to industry reports, vinyl sales have surpassed CD sales for the first time since 1987. Why are younger listeners flocking to the format?
Tangible experience. Vinyl provides a sensory ritual: sliding an album from its sleeve, placing it on the platter and gently lowering the needle. This physical interaction fosters a deeper connection with the music.
Superior sound. Many listeners prefer the warmth and dynamic range of analog recordings. Vinyl can reveal nuances lost in compressed digital formats.
Collectible art. Album covers are works of art. Gatefolds, lyric sheets and colored vinyl make each pressing unique. Collectors enjoy hunting for limited editions and sharing their finds online.
Community and culture. Record stores and swap meets bring people together. Young collectors trade recommendations, discover obscure artists and support local businesses.
