> The biggest draw in listening vinyl is the experience itself. Large album covers printed with intricate detail, the manual effort you give to cue in the vinyl and changing sides. Adding coffee, tea, a book or a couple of friends into the music itself. The atmosphere all it creates and the experience revolving around is driving the vinyl.
I think that statement supports the grandparent post saying that vinyl is a gimmick.
- bayindirh 4y agoI don't think so, because the music wants attention from you, and you stay more focused to the music itself. When combined with people into the music you're playing, it leads to nice discussions about photography or design of the cover, and these qualities fuel the social atmosphere in the room. Having the same friends over with music playing over different mediums never resulted in the same vivid atmosphere for us. Maybe this is because of us, but vinyl definitely has its own irreplaceable function for me and us (as friends), no it's not a gimmick.
