EmoVeganBoy Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 So you want to punch people for using descriptive English, but you can't even bother to use an apostrophe when typing the contraction for "it is"? To be fair, there is a difference between getting the pluralization of a word incorrect and just being lazy and not wanting to add an apostrophe to a contraction. People who say vinyl aren't being lazy because they are adding an extra letter on there, not that it takes any extra effort to pronounce an s. But it's more understandable for someone to not bother with contractions now and then, whereas someone who says vinyl is either trolling or ignorant to the fact that it is not an actual word. I doubt many people on these boards are ignorant to the basic grammatical fact that it is should be it's. People are lazy, and that's fine by me. I agree that hearing people say vinyl makes me cringe a bit on the inside, but I can't really blame them for not knowing as long as they are relatively new to the vinyl game. Anyway, let's all play nice now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Being "new to the vinyl game" is not an excuse to put an s at the end of vinyl. Edit: I love how this argument takes place in like every thread. isavedlatin54 and rudeboydh 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusted_By_Space Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 As an experiment, i told my grandpa i had a bunch of vinyl, he said "I thought they were called rubbers, but whatever they call em, enjoy it while you can." 83 years and still sharp as a tack. Edit: it auto corrects vinyl to vinyl in my post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hankmurphy Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Just because a word bothers you does not make it incorrect. It's pretty silly to attack others because you don't like the way they're using a word. http://languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll/?p=4017 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imaxcowboyx Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Every time you people argue about people using an 's' at the end of vinyl, all I can picture is a room full of comic-book-guys, "worst. argument. ever."ing each other.

abovetheearth Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 went out to eat for a friends bday party, did the whole 'i listen to vinyl' 'oh you do?' conversation. i was showing them pics from my phone like it was a little baby. "...and this one, is a tour edition...." "...and this one..." not one fuck was given. it was still super cute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonbeams Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 that being said.....ive been collecting for almost 10 years (as most of you have...and some of you wayyyyy longer) it still shocks me when people don't understand why. its nice to see the rise of this format but honestly...im getting sick of the insane prices. I suspect the popular use of the word "vinyl" to come to an end soon. No data, no research, just my insights. Take it with a grain of salt. We are in a midst of a record boom. But most of the people getting into records now are buying $70 plastic Ions and Audio Technica turntables. Soon they real realize that their Ion generated sound quality is inferior to itunes and tire from their AT-PL300 skipping. Out of innocent ignorance, they will believe that vinyl sucks and go back to mp3s. The vinyl market will shrink, albums won't be needing 6 different colors. Things will go back to normal again.

dreamover Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I feel like everyone's been saying "vinyl is making a comeback!" for the last six years or so. because it literally has. every year has seen increase. the year there's a decrease in vinyl sales, people can stop saying that.

veggiecorecords Posted January 23, 2013 Author Share Posted January 23, 2013 New article on a similar topic from the BBC, but they do go into more detail about used vinyl sales which I thought some might find interesting here: "When you collect vinyl it is a love affair that you will always have." -DJ JAZZY JEFF http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-21010240 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davey Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Pop punk and the vinyl resurgence happening at the same time is purely coincidental. The difference is that vinyl isn't terrible. nivek87 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kriss Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 How did the notion of pop punk and the vinyl 'resurgence' being synonymous come into play? I go into the record stores around the city and pop punk takes up a rack or two of space - maybe a few dozen records amongst literally thousands of new releases. Like Derek said, these articles have been popping up for a long time - I remember reading one in the Tribune back in 2006. In between these and the cassette resurgence articles, I think chasing 'dead format' stories is just a go to topic for writers when it's a slow day in the news room. davey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pop punk is an extremely niche market that is hyped in very few circles, it's just so happens that this is one of them. Good points! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
