Don't be surprised when your Instagram feed is cluttered with pictures of crisp vinyls and newly bought record players this year. A trend has now transformed every modern teen's outlook on the once outdated record collection.
But why are records in and iPod's out?
Some say owning a physical copy of their favorite album brings more satisfaction then just downloading it. Others just enjoy the idea of starting a collection of their own. I personally agree with both even if the iPod is more convenient for on-the-go situations. Parents, specifically my own, scoff at the idea that vinyls are coming back when there is all this new and instantaneous technology at our fingertips.
Chain stores, such as Urban Outfitters, have taken the initiative to sell modern albums on vinyl seeing as vinyl sales have exponentially increased. Record stores are now beginning to make a comeback as well with there now being a growing market for vinyls.
Vinyls and record players are pricey but hopefully this trend will stick around for awhile.
