all vinyl records are redundant at this point. It's just a novelty item.

Pretty much my reaction to this too, especially after getting more into music production.

don't care lol

Whatever minute sound difference it has it outweighed by the inconvenience of the physical medium and the maintenance required

Unless you're a dork who enjoys that sorta thing cause it's vintage in which case see: novelty item

I hear cassettes have made a comeback which is even more of a mystery to me. They're small with small art and not as displayable, so not as good a collectible. Plus, who wants to blindly rewind or fast forward to change songs?

We wanna rid the world of plastic waste and reduce co2 footprints, yet we're gonna produce these outdated mediums that noone really needs.

Bro don't argue with trendy bourgious white people. They know what's real.

I would say the inconvenience of having to take the record out and place it on the turntable etc. is part of what you pay for with LPs. People miss the more tangible experience connected to music listening and let's admit it.. sleeves, especially gatefolds, are pretty nice.

But sound quality is worse if anything, though I fully expect people may enjoy the thinner sound you get from having to master out low end to preserve groove space.

Cassettes don't make any sense for me because even the experience of using them sucks. I remember how inconvenient they were back in the day and how ****ty I thought they were compared to CDs and even LPs. I never missed them. They're the worst.

This scenario is so fake and contrived. Getting your music on services like Spotify and YouTube music is as cheap as getting a distrokid account, can even be done for free, and is likely much easier than making "cheap" cassettes.
