Vinyl Nation
The rebirth of vinyl records over the past decade has introduced new fans to a traditional medium and modified our definition of a record collector to include younger people, male and female record collectors, and record collectors from all backgrounds. This same renaissance has led to an increase in the cost of purchasing music, helped established bands more than indie artists, and muddied the waters around the topic of whether vinyl genuinely sounds better than other media. Vinyl Nation delves deep into the crates of the record revival in quest of the secrets that are encoded in the wax: Is the music fandom more united or more polarized as a result of the comeback of vinyl? What can the medium of vinyl tell us about our history here and now? How has the resurgence of interest in vinyl records affected the ways in which people listen to music and to one another?
