In Their Own Words: The newfound love for Vinyl records from the youth

"My mom had a lot when she was younger. She still had Purple Rain and we didn’t have a record player, so I went out and bought one for Christmas. So now, whenever I go to the thrift store, I go through all the records."

"I got a record player because I always wanted one. My mom actually had a bunch from when she was young, so I have them too. I don’t have any new songs on records, which makes sense because I love old music."

"I’ve been collecting records for about four years now. I started in about ninth grade; I was drawn to it... I still stream music, but when I’m home and want the full album experience, a way to do it is vinyl."

"I remember growing up and my dad having records and thinking they look so old, and he told me how they weren’t worth anything... I thought it was cool because my sister first asked for a record player for Christmas, and then I wanted one."
