What? Why the hate on vinyl?
It’s not practical, nor is it anywhere near the sound quality available on services like Tidal or Bandcamp, but that’s not the point.
It’s a physical, irrevocable copy, in a world where everything is becoming a service which gets revoked when you stop paying.
Sure, there’s some consumerism in there as well, but I doubt some plastic discs are going to make a dent compared to the millions of tons of clothing being produced by Shein, just to go straight into the garbage.
Unfortunately, vinyl records are completely non-recylable, made from a super toxic material, and the dust they create as they break down acts like a sponge for dioxin.

Im talking about vinyl the substance used to make the records, unless they have changed the materials.
I love my physical copies too but we could be using better media, CD, DVD, Blueray for instance.
