Purely anecdotally, I’m Gen Z and I went to high school with a guy who was big into vinyls, and have never otherwise met someone with that interest. So it tracks in my limited experience
It was still a thing is certain music genres. Metal genres especially, like Black Metal. I can’t remember which band it was but a few years ago they released their whole decades long discography on cassette tape. Just a big box of tapes of black metal so you could get your trve kvlt on.
i think the industry boomed around lockdown, heard a couple people talk about them in HS in 2021 and so far in uni i’ve been to 3 dorms with record players (mostly those shitty suitcase ones). sometimes i see a bunch of vinyls hanging on someone’s wall so i think some rich kids just get them for decoration 💀
personally i find them expensive as hell so i go for more CDs depending on the genre/sound

I remember it being big in hipster culture, and just double checking but every year from 2008 to 2013 was the biggest sales year for vinyl on record.
