declanmr Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Hello all, I am a University student writing my Dissertation paper on “I am the resurrection”: The Rebirth of Vinyl Records in Contemporary Popular Music Culture. I am looking for some answers to some questions from all on the forum who are interested in giving me some feedback and opinions. I don't need huge amounts of detail but a nice short discussion will be very much appreciated. I too am a huge vinyl enthusiast so I'm hoping we can create something special with this paper. 1. What do you think has caused/contributed to the vinyl resurgence and why? 2. What do vinyl records mean to you? 3. Do you prefer the visual or aural aspects of vinyl records? 4. What are the benefits of vinyl records over other formats of music? Thanks for reading, would love some feedback.

throughbeingcruel Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 (edited) I know it's a joke but that's called a sprocket, not a chain ring. And if it is in fact also called a chain ring, I've literally never heard that in nearly 30 years of being around bikes.

Chainring can be more or less used interchangeably with sprocket, I'm sure they had distinct definitions at one point but I can't remember what it is. Source: I work in the industry.

Out buddy who's a tattooer has a sprocket tattoo on his arm, I think it's a Fit Bike Co sprocket but I can't remember. I never knew sprocket tats were hip haha.

AlexH. Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Also 1. What do you think has caused/contributed to the vinyl resurgence and why? The vinyl resurgence can be traced back to the 2012 Record Store Day release of the Disturbed box set. 2. What do vinyl records mean to you? Webster's Dictionary defines "vinyl records" as "an exhaustingly expensive thing to collect that girls aren't actually all that interested in, as it turns out". 3. Do you prefer the visual or aural aspects of vinyl records? Tactile, actually. The feeling of rubbing the grooves against my balls is the best 4. What are the benefits of vinyl records over other formats of music? It's the best way to support my favorite independent labels, like Enjoy the Toons and Newbury Comics. somethingvinyl and allenh 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Declan University of Winchester, United Kingdom You'd probably be better off asking reddit.com/r/vinyl. We aren't exactly the most friendly bunch all of the time as I am sure you figured out. It's at least marginally less circlejerky over there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freedumb Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 17 hours ago, Thomas³ said: This thread again? How many people are writing research papers on vinyl these days? Yeah really. Exact same thread pops is yearly. In addition, these are university level courses where your writing about people's opinions? Doesn't seem all that deep, "higher education" type stuff where you're going to learn much. My input? i just like the way records look in frames on walls... and a little bit how they feel against my balls, as someone else reported above.

SE7EN Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 If this is a serious thread - debatable - then there is little to no point in asking such massively open-ended questions. You're not going to get much in the way of useable answers and most people aren't going to want to sit and write you an essay response. Good luck with it though, if you are indeed actually doing a dissertation relating to vinyl - again, debatable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Hundred Fifty-Two Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Most of these threads seem to come from international members. But somehow Americas education system is the one struggling. Im also disappointed that we never get any follow up or feedback. Can I one time get to read a finished dissertation on vinyl resurrection.

ethereal Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 love how it's always someone not into vinyl at all asking something like this so we will write their papers for them lazy hipsters, man. WAXXX and THE_James_Champ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They come in...post a damn survey bullshit query...and then never come back with any follow-up or even a thanks for being helped out. Goddamn ingrates.
