Jeffrey Smith on the Vinyl Revival, Gen Z, Collecting, AI & Why Physical Media Is Coming Back
J
19:12Jeffrey SmithGUEST
Well, you, you've kind of given the answer to the question there, right? It's, it's really about us seeking community.
J
19:20Jeffrey SmithGUEST
And, you know, look, isolation today is very real when everything is available digitally and, and people can drop it off, you know, to your house and, and, or you can experience it on a screen.
J
19:34Jeffrey SmithGUEST
Um, you know, again, I don't think that's, that's incredibly healthy, uh, for just our mental stability and, and, and just, you know, we need that connection, uh, to other people.
J
19:50Jeffrey SmithGUEST
And I think this is not only why analog life is resurfacing and people are getting back into board games.
J
20:00Jeffrey SmithGUEST
People are, you know, going out and doing, like, day parties and, like, DJ sets at coffee houses during, you know, during the day because, you know, the, the idea of the social infrastructure of everything being late night and being centered around drinking is, is changing dramatically as well.
J
20:23Jeffrey SmithGUEST
We're, we're all out there in some way searching for, you know, others to connect with.

J
15:31Jeffrey SmithGUEST
We're preserving it in its original manufactured state, which means it's never going to retail.

What do you think about that? Do you think it's going to plateau as we go forward? Is it going to keep growing? What say you?
