what's made vinyl so popular again?

[*L*E*G*A*C*Y*]

Oh it's definitely already been slowly making a come back that past few years but not really for hip hop yet like it has for other genres cultures..

Actually the other day, idk if you know who Team Sesh is or Bone$ but I saw one of his graphic designers post design covers for tapes on Twitter.. I'm sure a bunch of hipsters & hype beasts without tape decks will be buying them

Don't get me wrong, I like the look of tapes ..the covers look aesthetically pleasing and since I enjoy a lot of older punk that is low fi, I can really appreciate low fi but I just see no use in buying tapes.. They just aren't convienant.

I see cassette tapes the same way I see VHS...there's a special place for them...just not now at this stage in time.

I actually found my old cassette walkman from back in the day and was walkinga round manhattan with it listening to my hip-hop mixtapes from college radio that I recorded from 1998-2002. When I had to switch the tape over to the other side on the train, people were looking at me crazy...lol!

Doesn't vinyl have a unique sound to it?
Plus hipsters have the whole retro unique look at me thing going for then

 

[really tho]

I think it sounds better.

This is up there with my favorite songs I've first heard this year (definitely favorite video)


As usual, great taste

I think part of the appeal is that whole lo-fi shytty analog sound..

Yeah not sure how much it's an actual "movement" or whatever but I don't think I've ever seen a vaporwave album released physically in any form but cassette. It can be an audio aesthetic as much as vinyl is.

Nothing beats DJing with vinyl though...the cover art, the sleeve art, the record label art, the runout groove engravings, actually being able to feel the music...the warmth and body of the sound of it...it just can't be replicated with digital anything...

Vaporwave is wonderfully weird in my opinion.

All of the vaporwave albums I've heard consisted of late 80s to early 90s motivational/self-help speeches over windows 95 sounding music...LOL.
