Younger People Find Vinyl Records Cool

I’ve witnessed how history repeats itself. Trendsetters in fashion do it. I’ve seen retro fashion which was back years ago. Now I’ve seen emo youngsters sporting a similar look back to those in the 80s. Even technology also has its own repetition of technology: one is the sudden interest of the young in turntables.

I admit, things sound differently when I heard digital music from the old analog ones that I hear in our old family stereo. Our stereo set is full of knobs with only bass and treble adjustments. Equalizers were unheard of. The quality of sound really rocks at high volumes when I get to play some old vinyl records. It was pure and there was no distortion.

This new generation of youngsters find old school music sets better than those that are processed digitally. I am not surprised that I would be learning from Washington Times that there are younger people who favor pure analog music than the common digital ones.
