Hilarious.

I don't really buy CDs anymore and most of the L'Orange albums I love are expensive as f*ck.

You can't buy just the one CD? It'll break your hipster cred?

By that logic I should be buying more CDs because they are declining in popularity.

Yeah but nobody's doing that and you're not a trend setter.

It's Friday night and we share a parking lot with a very good Italian restaurant. We have a lot of senior citizens come in and browse while they wait for their table. I'm trying to get them into hip hop. Still waiting for one of them to start bobbing their head.

I only buy CD's not vinyl. So I guess that makes me a massive hipster.

I still can't bring myself to believe that analog sound and bigger artwork are enough to explain people under the age of 40 who legit collect vinyl. I'd buy a vinyl copy of an album I ****ed over and had bombass artwork just to say I had it but other than that it seems frivolous.

I can only really speak for myself here but I just like collecting stuff. I like finding albums I really like like in the wild. I don't adhere to that whole "vinyl sounds better. OOOOOOWEEEEE THE WARMTH." pretentious bullsh*t that most collectors spew out of their mouths. It's a hobby for me. I like trading and getting good deals and trying out stuff that I find in shops that isn't on a streaming service or even Youtube. If I don't like something, I'll sell it and get my money back. It's like anything else people collect.

What is it about the collecting? The aesthetic of the giant cover? The aesthetic of the giant vinyl? Both? I mean I get how collecting stuff can be irrational but still make sense to the person in question even if they can't put it into words. I mean I have a giant collection, hundreds of gigs, of digital comics on an external hard drive. Most of it I'll likely never read, but I don't care cause I just like having it. Not even just because it gives me the option to read them if I want, but it's oddly soothing to have a comprehensive library of things you think are cool. And this does not interfere with my buying of actual comics, nor does my physical collection cause me to delete digital comics since they're two separate collections and it doesn't matter if I have duplicates. To delete my digital copies would be to leave holes that would feel wrong.
