Those silly overpriced Hermes or Louis Vuitton purses.

Pure conformity.

Beaten-up electric guitars as decoration. Some guitarists look foward for this   

I took this photo yesterday.

They were probably used by some famous or something.

Although I wouldn't mind having those in my house

Vinyl sometimes sounds fuller and warmer to me.  It depends on the pressing.

All of nostalgia falls into this category, why play on a game boy when we can use a emulator?

MP3 is practically superior to vinyl, but basing the value on practicality is only one dimension.

Even when there's no sound quality difference, Both are different experiences, so the value is in the experience.

Phenomenal state, what's valuable is the feel, the qualia of the vinyl experience. The warmth, the ritual-feeling. This is hedonic, value = quality of conscious state.

What's valuable is the quality of the lived experience itself, not the external output.

3rd dimension, the vynal is art, the mp3 is not.

I wonder how much is nostalgia and how much is conformity. I don't know. If it's nostalgia I am okay with that.
