Just walked across the street to get some wine from my neighborhood specialty shop. I was wearing my QRP hoody. The 20 something owner is a huge record fanatic. And there were a couple of other 20 somethings in the store that wanted to talk to me about records. The wise old sage!

I get the same at the neighborhood coffee shop every time I wear my QRP hoody. A couple 20 somethings want to talk vinyl.

I do live in the urban core which is mostly a younger, hipster, affluent crowd but still.

The attached link shows the age demographics of record buyers. It clearly skews towards the younger generations. Boomers are not driving the growth how could they their numbers are decreasing daily. This is why vinyl sales continue to grow and will do so for the foreseeable future. Younger people love records.

The younger generation cracks my up on this subject. No I'm not 'in' to vinyl. I have 5,000+ records because when I was their age that was all we had. And now I pretty much don't care. I will always have a turntable but it's rarely used I prefer streaming. The CD player, collection disappeared a long time ago.

As I previously stated this is why men like Chad Kassem, etc. have invested millions in record production. They know their business their consumer. And it isn't the boomers.
