"For me the most jarring thing is hearing people refer to records as “vinyls”.THEY’RE NOT CALLED VINYLS. THEY WERE NEVER CALLED VINYLS. CALLING RECORDS VINYLS IS LIKE CALLING CDS “PLASTICS”. FFS, STOP THE MADNESS!!!
Records. They’re called records. 12″ records are also called LPs, short for Long Playing Records. 10″ records are EPs, short for Extended Play Records, or 78s (if they are 78RPM). 7″ records are 45s (because 45RPM) or singles.GET OFF MY LAWN."

Dominic, 
No idea what this person is attempting to say. I know that retcon is the revising of an established story - but describing the lead up to Y2K as “monotonous”? And then talking about Office Space? Probably made sense to them but no one else.

#14 - as I recall it, they did start calling records “vinyl” shortly after CDs came out. CDs were cool because they were small and all digital but many people liked records because they had greater dynamic range (a friend of mine would not switch to CDs for that reason). So the record fans started to call the superior dynamic range “vinyl” as a way of distinguishing the less dynamic CD. Boomer out.

Remember: a bunch of fumb duck influencers hold the keys to all truth, and know far more than your puny brain could possibly ever imagine.
