Default Why do hipsters love analog?

Hipsters seem to love analog only, like vinyl records, cassette tapes, 8-track, R2R and some vintage audio gear. Why is that? I'm referring to the younger generation that got into analog after the year 2000. Hipsters don't go for CDs, SACDs, DVD-A, Blu-Ray audio or Hi-Rez.

You'll do well here. Can't wait.

To answer your question...let people enjoy things.

Oh, and I get high school kids buying CDs all the time inmy shop. We sell them for $3-$4. They're driving around in their dads old 2002 Camry having a blast. It's what they can afford getting minimum wage in this sh*thole country.
