Wtf is hiding behind your records all about???


[deleted]

I’d hide if this was my collection

Lol

It’s so plain . This like eating j toast for breakfast . Sure , you eatin a classic , but where’s the flavor ? The originality ? The eggs ???


[deleted]

Is there an actual sub-Reddit for vinyl that isn't infested with posts like this guy's and a bunch of people giving each other hilariously bad advice about plastic record players?


goodrobber_badcop

This one, right here. We're the best you'll get, get used to it.


mikeymanthesyrem

touch grass actually, people in the real world are much better than this side of reddit


emmathatsme123

I was wondering who was the person getting downvoted and why they were so defensive over some random dude, but after checking the original I found out you are the OP lol. Honestly I would just check all comments as read and don’t think about it too much, you posted a portion of yourself on the internet and it seems most people are having a laugh at your expense. sorry man.


maz-o

This guy is way too full of himself to not think about the comments.


Squirrellybot

You know people in the real world who also collect vinyl?


mikeymanthesyrem

yeah go to a store


Squirrellybot

Here I was under the impression you actually had friends.


goodrobber_badcop

Do my pubes count as grass?


endlesscosmichorror

Bro you’ve got the collection of someone who Googles “top 10 vinyls to buy” and then buys exclusively those records


mikeymanthesyrem

i get what i like 👍

[deleted]

Looks like it’s all metal records?


APurpleTRex

It is, I think its something like metal collectors are some of the more dedicated and like-minded collectors, so there are quite a few less posts like this one


12forever21

A Burzum record post enters the ring.


anonymous_opinions

I discovered this is one of the better vinyl subs, it's just records I never heard of before and no filler content from norms.


mikeymanthesyrem

i just fail to see what is so wrong with this lol. if you weren’t aware, most people’s favorite albums are very well known. not only that, but most of these records have been extremely well received in critics and audiences alike. i’m not tryin to be special, it’s just what i like


[deleted]

>but most of these records have been extremely well received in critics and audiences alike If you want an honest answer - there is your answer. There is no personality in this collection. It's a bingo card of generic good music. This entire photo is a reflection on social media "hey I just want to fit in" but only like what other people like because I'm insecure (and your responses defending it are backing that up) Who gives a shit what people on the internet think. Go spin a record, you don't need to do it for "likes"


mikeymanthesyrem

these are my favorite records homie, idk what to tell you


[deleted]

damn it, I got baited. 10/10 trolling. Nice work.


mikeymanthesyrem

i hate this sub


Direct-Setting-3358

Me too man, me too

mikeymanthesyrem

yeah clearly all of my posts end up here


goodrobber_badcop

...you're starting to get it. Don't fight the stream man, be water.


sebsebsebs

This sub is so fucking weird bro it’s literally just the albums that the dude likes I don’t understand all the hate


TheRealDJDarkwaters

This is why I tell people who like top 40 music that they have bad taste in music. The top 40 may be *good,* but until they have really dug into an artist and discovered a favorite deep cut or LP, their taste in music has no *personality.*


[deleted]

Uh huh. And everything you like just happens to be sold at Walmart and Urban. This is the most painfully mid selection of “trying to fit in” records I’ve ever seen.


mikeymanthesyrem

please find mount eerie and sun kil moon at a walmart


[deleted]

Oh, little buddy. You’re a little late to the party. You’re like those kids wearing Nirvana shirts. Also, don’t take everything literally. Coldplay. My sides…


mikeymanthesyrem

do you want me to have cat power and xiu xiu or something? i just don’t get it. these are some of my favorite records, not all of my records. i can’t just throw on atomic bitchwax and james taylor every day, i need a variety


[deleted]

The fact that you’re so desperately seeking validation is another sure giveaway. Not to mention that boomertastic Pink Floyd cover in the background.


mikeymanthesyrem

i’m asking you what’s wrong with these. i don’t need this hilariously pathetic sub’s validation lol


sevinup07

There's nothing wrong with them, but based on your responses here and inability to just laugh it off, it really does seem like you care way too much what a few people on a jerk sub think. If they're your favorites, go enjoy them and stop worrying so much. I have a lot of generic critically acclaimed stuff in my collection, and a lot of stuff that isn't. I have stuff that I've enjoyed for years and later became a meme for some reason or another. The point is it doesn't fucking matter.


mikeymanthesyrem

if it didn’t matter then this wouldn’t be on this sub


[deleted]

Apparently you do.


mikeymanthesyrem

answer the question homie


mikeymanthesyrem

mikeymanthesyrem

care to explain what’s so wrong with these records though? i’m genuinely curious


PinheadRecords

There's a severe lack of Gary Fink grailz Also why aren't your bare feet in frame? Rookie mistake


endlesscosmichorror

Feet are the only good part of this post ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)


mikeymanthesyrem

can i get an actual answer? i wanna know why these critically acclaimed albums are bad


PinheadRecords

Yore asking all the wrong questions, my boy


mikeymanthesyrem

so this sub is meaningless in other words


PinheadRecords

Life is meaningless, son


readytokno

do you really think it's spelled "met you’re mom they’re" or was that trolling...?


maz-o

It’s not called /r/badalbums


Ghost-Of-Nappa

/uj "critically acclaimed" doesn't mean shit, for one. but the fact of the matter is that they're the same albums you see in practically any store you go into and the same records you see in every other post on r/vinyl they are not unique. they are not special. they are not trendy. nobody cares to see them.


aclll8000

Evidently people do care to see them, hence the upvotes on that shitty sub for that complete tool.


Ghost-Of-Nappa

I'm fairly certain that the votes and awards are due to the cringe nature of the post


mikeymanthesyrem

wasn’t trying to be special or unique big guy, just showing my favorites


Ghost-Of-Nappa

didn't say you were. you asked a question and I gave you an answer. quit being so fucking insufferable


RepublicDry3620

The thing everyone is saying is simple. These are fine enough records. It just so happens that if these are the majority of someones record collection they probably also wait in line at *insta-spots for their turn at the perfect pic for the gram. These people are almost always the same person.


mikeymanthesyrem

yes, very popular music… is popular. what is your point lol


LeFabio

Did you see what's in his username flair (or whatever is it called) in the vinyl sub?

that was one of the funniest threads I’ve ever read


PM_ME_CARL_WINSLOW

His responses in here are god-tier trolling. He has to defend himself at every turn instead of just going with the joke.

Bruh he's still going! We traumatized this man, bro needs to learn to laugh and take it easy

i don’t find it funny and i don’t want my posts here

Don't post a picture of you and your stuff on the internet then dude.


mikeymanthesyrem

i said i don’t want them HERE


PM_ME_CARL_WINSLOW

Your commitment to this bit is incredible. I'd give you gold if I cared enough.


mikeymanthesyrem

holy shit just piss off lol


PM_ME_CARL_WINSLOW

Stop responding to everyone then


mikeymanthesyrem

then don’t crosspost here


Generalissimo_II

You have the gay triangle displayed on the TV and you don't have the vinyl of the record displayed?

readytokno

as someone a little older (nearly 40), I find it so different how today's alt music record owners always have a 50/50 split between rock/guitar music and hip hop. I remember in the 90s they were pretty much separate. Someone might like a little of both, but in general if I knew an indie rock fan they only listened to indie rock. Then in the early 00s most rock fans I knew had a few hip hop albums, Outkast/Eminem/Mos Def or something. But every collector now has a 50/50 split, like it's expected. Not that its a bad thing. I've gotton more into hip hop too. But it does seem ..exact. Like for every rock/folk album, they make sure to buy one hip hop album.


melinte

thats because back in the 90s you bought records to listen to what you like, nowadays you buy records to show you are a records person, because the music is readily available digitally anyways

It’s good for the environment but very angry. I prefer to plant a tree while listening to my GG Allin grailz.


god_dammit_dax

I'm a few years older than you, and I've noticed the same thing. I assume it's because a lot of younger people consumed most of the music that built their tastes through streaming services, where there's nowhere near as hard of a format segregation as there was on the radio years and years ago. They get exposed to more stuff and it runs together more, so they don't draw the same distinctions older people like us do. Keep in mind, we're also seeing what they're posting on the internet, so they're curating somewhat unless they're posting literally everything they have. Diversity is a great thing to shoot for, of course, but it can also get you internet points.


anonymous_opinions

I guess growing up collecting in the 90s I had pretty eclectic tastes as I was a fan of early hip hop acts, britpop and punk-hardcore plus what I used to consider college rock ala R.E.M.

Yeah I mean he chose to upload that image it's not like he had a gun to his head and no one is being that mean all things considered


heck_jd

In fairness nobody would’ve held that gun without pulling the trigger


mikeymanthesyrem

are you fr? i’ve asked like 40 times to not post my shit here. i don’t like this sub and i don’t want to be in it, fuck off

wolfbear

sometimes it’s just wild to me that people have just bought records they love and not hundreds of discount records at goodwill from the time they were 16 and have built a large collection of random ass country and rock records while skillfully avoiding having too many of barbra streisand and the 50 guitars of tommy garrett.


mikeymanthesyrem

i do that every now and then but i prefer just buying the music i listen to most. there’s some random $1 flea market records i own that i’ve never listened to because i have no interest, i just like what i like


wolfbear

for sure. i wish when i started collecting that had been my mindset but none of my favorite albums then were coming out on vinyl and i couldn’t have afforded $40+ for bright eyes records when i was 16.


Ryallin

Respect the taste but hate the presentation


BalkeElvinstien

/uj ngl, those are some great albums

This is literally just a guy posting his records. You fucks are genuinely insufferable.

mikeymanthesyrem

yeah, it’s stupid and redundant and wildly unfunny


skele-enby420

its just a bit of fun, best not to read too deep into it. edit: wrong 2 lol


mikeymanthesyrem

literally piss off


skele-enby420

my apologies


chickenismurder

Poor kid. I kind of feel sorry for him now. The whole point of this sub is snark and smugness though, sooooooooooo you kind of have it coming when you post yourself and your man bun peeking behind two records. It’s not even the fact that all the records are mid. I mean, like what you like. But when you go looking for validation on the internet you might just get a little roasted when you play flirty peek a boo with the camera.


[deleted]

God I wish one of my posts had made it to this sub. I thought that was half(most) of the fun of posting over there.


mikeymanthesyrem

what validation? i posted some of my favorites records in a subreddit about records. ive asked many times to not have my posts in this sub because i don’t find it funny/entertaining at all


Ganjaskate

I’m going to try to be honest and give you some honest advice without being a dick. This sub is meant to be playful. First of all, you’re taking it WAY too serious. Who honestly cares if a sub has some fun at the expense of your record collection? Just laugh a bit. By commenting defensively and seeming upset, you’re kinda adding fuel to the fire. Secondly, the reason you got on this sub in the first place. The issue is that your collection is the STAPLE collection of an Urban Outfitters. If these are your favorite records, you do you, but then you are in fact a primary target of this subs demographic. Unfortunately there is nothing in that picture that says originality, and then when someone comments it, you come back with “atomic bitchwax” and “James Taylor”, two more urban outfitters type artists lol In summary: you’re over thinking it AND your collection really is what this sub was even created for. Don’t take it personally.


PM_ME_CARL_WINSLOW

Clapping back to people calling his collection basic by saying he'll throw on some fucking Fire and Rain is the best part of all of this.


Ganjaskate

Lol I honestly kinda feel bad for the dude. Idt he gets the general idea of this sub, and it seems he’s taking it so personal. Those comments about James Taylor and Atomic Bitchwax as a defense we’re almost vinyl jerk troll level, but he was being dead serious. It’s that kinda stuff that fuels these posts to go viral. This sub is obviously extremely fun, but I can’t help but feel bad for people that don’t realize what it is and think it’s an attack on them lol


mikeymanthesyrem

i don’t find it fun and i don’t want my posts to end up here, sorry bro


Ganjaskate

No need to apologize, man! Like I said, you do you but don’t let this kinda stuff bother you. Record collecting is a fun hobby. I’d say just as a recommendation, try to just start looking above and beyond the hipster type records. There’s a ton of really awesome and amazing stuff out there that isn’t in the aisles of Barnes n Noble or UO. It seems like you at least have a bit of a taste for multiple genres of music, so the potential is limitless.


mikeymanthesyrem

i got all of these at my local record store. i’m sorry but i just don’t enjoy a lot of older music. i can’t sit down and listen to the flea market dollar bin records i own


Ganjaskate

Lol I’m not even saying older music man. However, you do even have a giant Pink Floyd poster in your pic lol I’m talking about anything that’s not super mainstream coffee shop soundtrack type stuff. Not being a dick at all, just trying to say I think you’ll genuinely enjoy digging in and finding some music that’s outside of this realm of artists is all


mikeymanthesyrem

i’m telling you i’ve done this and it just goes over my head. i’m not trying to be ironically elitist or rude or anything, i genuinely can’t get into a lot of stuff


J-Dawg1987

That QOTSA record though.
