Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
6. Defend your opinion
This is a bit of a mix of rules 4 and 5 to help foster higher quality posts. You are expected to defend your unpopular opinion in the post body. We don't expect a whole manifesto (please, no manifestos), but you should at least provide some details as to why you hold the position you do.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

MODERATORS
I usually listen to stuff digitally encoded on some capable device
But there is just something with putting on a vinyl and listening to the whole album
I could do the same with digital media, but it just feels different
It's not really about the music quality, it's just about the experience
You don't need to like it, but some people do and that's ok as well
I like some 80s punk (Ton Steine Scherben) and I got their whole work gifted in vinyl.
Usually I just listen to mp3/ogg of them, but from time to time, I like to spin up a vinyl and just let it run and listen
It's...well, it's a different experience
oh no i also like it! it's the entire purposeful ritualistic thing that makes it good. i did that a lot when i was younger. and that's why vinyl still makes sense for the experience. but the op was all about the quality, and there's nothing special about the quality of vinyl other than nostalgia.
Yeah, true that
