Did vinyl sales just hit the proverbial brick wall?

thanks @dill !

@mijostyn @bigtwin I go to a used record store every week and I never see anyone there over 40. It’s full of Millennials.

@dill I would love to look at it. What’s your ebay name?

@mijostyn 

I do not understand what you just wrote. It made no sense to me. I did not separate anyone. I deal with statistics every day. I know what representation means.

A used record store is a perfect representation of its buyers since THEY ARE the buyers. It has nothing to do with who is outside. My point was about the age of the people. Young people buy records. Period.  All my kids, Gen Zs listen to vinyl. 

Your second point made even less sense. I won't find you in used record stores? How is that relevant to my point? Is it below you because you only buy new records? So you are representative of rich old men? Does it cause young people not to buy records? NO it does not. There is 0 correlation between what you do and Millennials and Gen Zs do. (They buy used records because of how much money they have, unlike you who only buys new records) I understand I won't be able to find a representative sample in a USED record store because you won't be there and you need to be counted but that is exactly my point: the people who ARE there.

Was your point to just brag? I am not ashamed to go to used record stores, all I can afford is 5-10 dollars for a record. You have been privileged and wealthy to only buy new records, good for you. But that proves nothing about the demographics that are interested in vinyl.

@mijostyn we agree to disagree. Yes, it's not green. Partly why I feel better buying used.

I would say vinyl does when hifi dies. We'll have lemon groves in Minnesota before that happens.
