"vinyls" is here to stay.

[GChief]

You're kidding... ?

Nope
Since it’s been in common usage for over 200 yrs they went and added it.

I have no complaint. I may not like the use of vinyls but it's such a little thing to get upset about. I have enough on that plate already.

Now we're getting somewhere.

Anyway you will find a bunch of grumpy boomers here that resist change at all costs

I'm not quite a boomer. I'm 36. I fully admit to being grumpy, and absolutely hate change, though.

Two-hundred wrongs don't make a right.

Depending on where you look I am either a Boomer or an X’er

Seriously Man, I thought I was boxing with a member of the greatest generation!!
BTW I wonder how many of the people that call records vinyls have the joy of knowing who the Baseball Furies are!!

I thought Vinyl is what cheep speaker cabinets were covered in.

Google now says you're an Xennial 1975-1985. Too late to be an X-er and too early to be a "gen-why?" No where NEAR a boomer.

Well July 1965 puts me squarely on the fence of grumpy old bastard or mellow X’er

Boomers unite !!!
Vintage '57 here...

I'm perfectly fine if people use the term vinyls in their day to day lives. Now, if someone says it in my house, they'll be asked to leave after receiving a vigorous paddling!

I believe I have an old soul. I've always though I was born too late. Aside from computers, I like most everything old. Cars, music, movies, records and turntables, etc.

JULY '65 that's me! Hope you had a good one bro! I got some new kicks, a family cookout, and a HEAVY, GRAPHIC SPECIAL PRESSING of Space Oddity from my daughter to add to my collection of VINYLS!!

Good enough for what’s going on...

Reminds me of a conversation with my Dad a good many years ago.

Dad: "You know son, the 50's and 60's were some good years, things just went to hell after that".
Me: "Sure Dad".

Our parents probably did not like it when my generation started calling their hi-fi "mono".
