The results of the experiment revealed that while some participants did express nostalgia for the past, many others were attracted to vinyl for different reasons. These reasons included the aesthetic appeal of vinyl records, the tangible and physical nature of the medium. In addition, participants appreciated the deliberate and ritualistic listening experience that vinyl records provide, in contrast to the convenience and instant access of digital music. This study highlights the complexity of motivations for vinyl consumption in the digital age and challenges the notion that nostalgia is the only driver. It suggests that vinyl enthusiasts engage with records for a variety of reasons, including a desire for sensory and tactile experiences, a connection to the physical, and an appreciation for the intentional and immersive listening experience that vinyl offers.
