No exception to this trend of releasing vinyl records for the true hipster to enjoy is Fall Out Boy. See, even bands view records as a way to make something profound out of their musical accomplishments. Many bands have vinyl records, regardless of if they were around when that was the only way of recording and listening to music there was or not. If you do decide to commit, though, where do you start? Do you go hunt down the old, classic albums at thrift stores and music shops, looking for special editions and rare finds? Or do you start with the new stuff that maybe you are listening to now, that might be a tad bit simpler to find in stores like Urban Outfitters? It indicates that you are truly dedicated to the sound of the music and not just one piece of a band, but the entirety of an album you may find particularly awesome. That imperfect, static sound that emanates off the player when the needle glides across the shiny vinyl signifies to me that you've really achieved something. There’s something really hipster-ish and cool about having a record player and records, like it's proof that says you’re really committed.or at least that’s what it says to me.
