im officially a meme and a quoteable mess in the reddit vinyl community 😭(the cd subreddit is much more chill/ layed back)

i don’t “segregate” my RECORDS. i posted ONE picture of my favorite records i have from black artists mind u im black. that’s the only time ive ever “segregated” them… to appreciate black artists and post a lil something like “hey these are my favorite albums from black artists go support black artists!!”
and then YES I AM THE ORIGINAL PERSON WHO POSTED “the cd subreddit is much more chill/layed back” also i have an audio technica which i still find pretty cheap and i rarely play my records ONLY because im saving up for a new player!! i still listen to my records god damn it! i’m just lessening my plays rn so they can be in good condition by the time i have a good $500-1000 player and i can listen to my shit whenever i want. wicked work, this is. But being a meme comes with great responsibility…

the cd subreddit is much more chill/ layed back and KIND than the vinyl subreddit

I collect vinyl records and i know a thing or two about them but im not so PRETENTIOUS about it like the ppl in the vinyl subreddit. they will hate on kids, they will hate on elderly people, they will hate on teens. they will hate on ANYONE and they’re also slightly racist. i don’t even know what kind of demographic is on that subreddit but it boils my blood that mfs can’t just post on there and not get attacked if there’s one teeny tiny thing you said wrong like you could legit say “here’s my first pressing of ___ ! i just bought it for $50” and someone would say “$50? your stupidity is making me want to bleach my eyes.” “who would spend $50 on THAT 🤢” “wow . looks like people will buy anything these days. also it’s VINYL not VINYLS”
these people are so concerned about how you spend YOUR money they feel like you walked up to them and took their money out of THEIR pocket to buy it. they also js have a huge stick up their ass. when i was first collecting many moons ago i posted my little collection and someone said “wow. five whole artists. 😒” like are u shitting me.
anyways
here’s my mini cd collection hopefully yall dont burn me at the steak for only having four

i found this flyer in my 1980s original copy of thriller on vinyl ❤️ it’s pretty cool to see this, i didn’t know the jackson’s still had a fan club even when thriller was released

i keep getting posted in this subreddit

so first i got posted in this bs because i said “these are all my favorite albums from black artists” and ppl were like “OHHH MY GOD WHY ARE YOU SEGREGATING YOUR VINYLS” mind u im black so i can say whatever i want abt MY people 😭 why can’t i appreciate my ppl they make good ass music.
then i got posted in here bc i said dont listen to my vintage vinyls as often but i literally have two copies of each vinyl , one vintage, one new. why would i play the vintage one and wear it down when i could js play the new one. yall are so pretentious in this subreddit you guys are doomed. SOUNDS ABOUT WHITE 🥹

does anyone here like michael jackson music

i have all his vinyls. this is a cute and airy, melancholy but joyous subreddit full of people who’s aura feels like a September breeze, orange-yellowish sunlight peeking beneath few clouds. leaves ebbing and flowing through the wind, different shaped pumpkins placed everywhere your eyes look. the crunch of those leaves satisfy the soles of your feet. You smell the earth in its entirety, because it’s done blooming, now it is resetting, just like how you do when you sleep after a long day of walking through this hauntingly lush landscape. the taste of cinnamon still on your mouth from your neighbors kind gift of cream cheese frosting topped seasonal cupcakes. michael jackson’s thriller short film is permeating the air of your living room with creativity and passion. this certain passion is gently laid on your ears , because you are in your room, more than a few steps away from the tv, tucked into your bed. Your huge and fluffy comforter curves around your body so carefully, and you get that excited tingle that everyone gets when they feel **way** too comfortable. You sigh, gentle breath. You stand up to blow out your spiced candle and you quickly hurry back to the safe haven that is your bed. You realize that nothing gets better than this. Thankful.

these are my favorite records in my collection. i posted this and used a wording that was offensive to people (explanation below)

going to try this again because my last post offended people (even though i am a young black girl) and i don’t understand why because i am autistic and struggle with saying the right socially acceptable things, i just wanted to show everyone my favorite records, and i put “my collection of black artists” as the title. i just put that because my brain works differently and likes to recognize patterns and i noticed that all my favorite records were from black artists. these are not my only records from black artists. My brain just translated the words and they came out wrong and i am deeply sorry for the offense i caused. my only intention is to share my love of records with a community that also loves them and admires them.

does anyone ever wish they had arfid or wish they were one of those ppl who don’t rlly care for eating ? :(

it feels selfish to feel this way but i’d rather have something like pica or arfid. spending every second thinking about food and gaining weight is better than feeling like food is a chore and staying skinny.
