I'm a smart audiophile. I listen to digital sources. But I like vinyl because I like the aesthetics of it. It doesn't sound better.

I'm also 56 years old so I grew up with vinyl. There's nothing "hip" about me.

There's obviously nothing wrong with that, but I think the parent was more referring to those who buy into "analogue-woo" (if you will). It's bad enough in audio gear, but in synthesizers it's near-universal - "Analogue Warmth" at the expense of price, reliability, noise etc.
