This movie has some great information and they really do provide evidence for their thesis that vinyl is back and accessible to a mainstream and large number of individuals. However, it is just a series of people talking- none of them very interesting, filled with generic PBS style music. Including music by various artists that make us love our vinyl, and interviews with artists we know and other interesting people would have gone a long way. This was more a TV special than a film- it really didn't utilize the medium of a movie.

Plot summary
The vinyl record renaissance over the past decade has brought new fans to a classic format and transformed our idea of a record collector: younger, both male and female, multicultural. This same revival has made buying music more expensive, benefited established bands over independent artists and muddled the question of whether vinyl actually sounds better than other formats. Vinyl Nation digs into the crates of the record resurgence in search of truths set in deep wax: Has the return of vinyl made music fandom more inclusive or divided? What does vinyl say about our past here in the present? How has the second life of vinyl changed how we hear music and how we listen to each other?

I love Records and I love movies but I didn't love this.
Absolutely Amazing!
Chris and Kevin break the stereotypes of record collecting. By showcasing women and POC they show that anybody can be apart of this amazing culture.
Very generic and unnecessary.
All of the content has been spoken about again and again before. They chose to feature all the standard new privileged upper middle class hipsters instead of genuine bonafide diggers. Or at least it would have been cool to have some marginalised weirdo's, real cats, authentic figures in this plain documentary. Spice it up with some peppers mayne!!
It's a 101 vinyl is cool and 'look at us being quirky and regurgitating all the clichés ,we are sooo quirky and nerdy' documentary. Something nice for the squares.
If you want to watch and learn something authentic and sincere about diggin in the crates, go watch 'Scratch'. Also there are some other independent docs on Youtube about vinyl and diggin. Like the Fuse diggers vids for example.
Subcultures are being taken over on the daily by the hipsters. Since everything is so accessible nowadays. The privileged take the pro's without having to carry the con's. It's kinda disgusting. It dilutes it all from it's authenticity and leaves it to become a weak plain subtraction. Shame on yall.
