A few more nifty sources

Here's a full blown ethnography on youth and the way they consume music in the postmodern or digital age. That article can be found here . It has valuable and current information on the relationship between the vinyl record industry and their appeal in the digital age.



Hayes, David, "'Take Those Old Records off the Shelf': Youth and Music Consumption in the Postmodern Age." Popular Music and Society Vol. 29, No. 1, (2006): 51-68





Also, there's a book called Vinyl Junkies by Brett Milano which I am planning on referencing for this research project. The book focuses on the drive behind people who intensely collect vinyl records from the past up through the present and undoubtedly sheds light on the exclusive nature of vinyl culture.
