Why do hipsters prefer analog?

so you are saying that everybody that listened to  vinyl, cassettes and 8 tracks, R2R, were all hipsters ?          

what were they suppose to listen to ?  

I assume by hipsters he is referring to current younger generation, not real "hippies" from the 60s.

and even if he was, what else are they supposed to listen to ?   something different?

Yes. Most people, hipsters aside, listen to some digital form of music. Mainly MP3s streamed from the internet or stored on a phone. The "hipsters" he is referring to, at least my interpretation, are the ones who think everything retro is cool.

However, I just tried to purchase an ugly/plaid light weight cotton short sleeved button front/pocket shirt on Amazon and they were all sold out .

HIPSTERS!!!

Just put your hair up in a man bun, buy some skinny jeans, and carry on...

I have not listened to a tube amp. I would think the highs and the details would not be as pronounced as a good digital amp. There must be a reason why audio switched from tube to digital. Is it the nostalgia and the looks of glowing tubes. Is it the opportunity to invest in replacement tubes? This might sound stupid. Since tubeamps are analog I am guessing there would not be need for a DAC. I have never had this explained to me.

Are you serious? You’ve said some questionable stuff here before, but this might be the best of the best……
