The vinyl record industry has enjoyed a resurrection largely driven by Gen Z.

Hasn't vinyl been back for over a decade? I know marketer defined generations aren't super meaningful, but I hate how blatantly the narratives they're trying aren't internally consistent

Is this adjusted for inflation? Unit count might be easier to understand the scale. Not to deny the trend, I am just skeptical that 2022 was anywhere near half the sales volume of 1979 for vinyl.

I don't remember. I followed a link in the article so it should be in there. I am paywalled now 😭
