There is definitely a vinyl fringe among the youngsters. I see them in used record shops I prowl. 
Most of them seem interested in 70's and early 80's punk and new wave, but I had a great 
conversation with a high school kid right behind me going thru the jazz stacks. He knew his stuff 
and was looking for specific items that actually have good collector value. There was an older guy 
also sifting the jazz stacks and he must have been very amused by the whole thing since he was the 
only one of us who was actually alive when most of the records were new.

To the kids of the CD era who still crave the grooved disk I say, more power to you and may you spin 
on-speed and with few scratches.
