Definition

A physical artifact from the analog era when humans stored sound on grooved discs, proving that nostalgia is the only thing that spins faster than the internet. Before streaming killed the format, vinyl was how your grandparents discovered music—and now your cooler-than-thou friend collects them ironically.

Example Usage

She spent her entire paycheck on a mint condition vinyl record of a band that broke up in 1987.
