I guess the millenials and Z'ers will never the joy of being able to walk into a record store, buy a 12 inch LP and actually be able to read the liner notes, without a magnifying glass.

Actually vinyl is having a resurgence and presumably most of the buyers are young people. Walk into any Walmart or Target and you'll see a surprisingly large selection of LPs for sale in the music section. You'll see the old mega-selling classics but you'll also see albums by new artists as well. The younger generation might end up with the best of both worlds -- digital streaming for browsing and for portability, and then a small collection of their most treasured recordings on vinyl to listen to at home and to truly own as a physical possession. If the trend continues, it seems plausible that record stores could become a thing again. Wouldn't that be wild! There are also rumblings in the music industry that a new physical format may be on the way.

Kinda pricey.

As a plus most those new vinyls come with a digital download code.
