I don't like those kinds of digital. I prefer "pure digital".

Hey, I can respect that. We all have our preferences.

And I wish people would stop assuming vinyl is for hipsters. If you actually listen to it, there is a notable difference in the quality. Vinyl brings out the individual sounds better and has an overall warmer sound.

I believe this whole "hipsters like Vinyls" thing started because American Apparel sells vinyls. I think the hipsters buy their clothing there.

It pisses me off too. I liked it better when all they had were rock shirts and chained pants.
But American Apparel sells stuff like Russian Cameras(Lomo), Vinyls, and "trendy" Hipster Clothing :o

I like the sound of vinyl. I don't listen to vinyl records, but I do use a lot of simulated vinyl effects in my music because It can have a really gritty, angry sound. .u.b

Those who like classical prefer digital.

Also there are other factors, like a good set of speakers and a tube amp, which improve sound quality.

Even the "shittiest" music can be enjoyable on a really good sound system.

Is this satirical? I really hope so. It's been a long time since I have seen such a high concentration of nonsense.

Don't talk shit about metal.

Fuck metal.

Should I get into Vinyl? The only problems I see is the cost of records and the lack of records.

Nah, Metals all right. Metalheads are often very annoying though.

Exactly what kids would say these days. If you care more about quantity over quality, then you you still haven't figured out why people prefer Vinyl, CD's, Cassettes or 8-tracks.

Some metalheads are just plain old annoying, especially the metalcore or nu-metal eggheads, and screamo is the bastard son that has a horrible fanbase. Seriously, watching someone explain how awesome screamo is is like a record skipping.

Yeah but nu metal isnt metal and screamo isnt related to metal at all! HA!

metalcore just sucks though

They sell vinyl at Hot Topic too, and a lot of major retailers like Best Buy are starting to pick up on it as well. Most people get it at independent record stores though. The point I'm trying to make though is that it's a very wide range of people that are buying it, and not just hipsters.

Nobody is seriously trying to use vinyl as a portable music format, they buy it for when they're at home. Also, it should be noted that pretty much all albums come with a download code for a digital copy, making it a moot point.

The cost? They're usually cheaper by many magnitudes, or the same price of CDs...and there's plenty of records to be had. Even if there's no stores around you, you can go to Ebay

Because it is metal.


Pretend not to care about anything, but be bothered by everything.

You may be fast on the roads but it's no use on the track.

Well they seem the same price as CD's but there's even less of them than CD's vs free music whenever I want it. ehhhhhhhhh

Im not saying it because I dont like it, metalcore sucks but its still metal, its just that nu metal sounds far more like a sub genre of rap rock than metal and they would fit into it far better too. I still cant get enough of the fact that korn mixed brostep (calling it dubstep) and nu metal and called it metalstep.

Funny story, you have no fucking idea what your talking about.

I don't know if you are a troll but you are clearly an idiot or trying to rile people up.

My brother had a friend, and that guy had an epic sound system. He listened to some good stuff on vinyl, and there were songs I knew or so I had thought by heart, and when we listened to them on vinyl, it was like a whole different experience, we heard things we never heard before, and it was so much more...real life, like it was really there.

Again, you have no fucking clue what you are praddling on about, so please fuck right off.

Hipsters are assholes I agree and although they may make the statement look bad because, there asshats and think there hip or cool for being different, sadly vinyl is honestly better than any CD, or otherwise recorded musical media.
