Before we had the luxury of streaming any song we want with a tap of a screen, listening to music took a little more effort. You had to use actual tools, like dropping a needle on a vinyl record or popping a CD into a drive. There’s something romantic about the idea of going back to these more “primitive” methods. It feels nostalgic, maybe even a little cooler, like you’re doing it for the aesthetic. But for me, collecting vinyl is more than just a novelty. It’s practical, meaningful, and a lot of fun.
My goal is to break down why I love collecting records, what makes the experience so rewarding, and even point out some of the downsides that come with it.
