Vinyl outsold CDs in 2022 for the first time since 1987; Kodak is struggling to keep up with demand for film, and a phone that deliberately does less costs nearly $800. Who is buying these things, and what are they really paying for?

In an age when music has become invisible, compressed, and available with a single touch of a screen, there is a small, almost silent resistance. It does not come from nostalgia, but from the need to feel sound again. To give it weight. To give it a ritual. Vinyl did not return as a trend. It returned as a statement.
