Retro always has a hipster niche. But it's not mainstream majority.

The article on vinyl production points at a market much larger than a "hipster niche"β€”it's the very source of the production issues they faced: the resurgent market was much larger than any company in the industry predicted.

It's not about "retro", it's about ephemera and ritual and appreciation.

Certainly, dedicated fans of music exist in all aspects of human culture and not just western ...hipsterdom.
