Social Media: A Vinyl Collector's Best Friend

Chapter 11 covers "Groups and Social Media", where we learn about the types of influences we receive from social media outlets and the effect they can have on us.

Interestingly enough, I have found that my musical taste has flourished thanks to social media and exposure that many bands and artists get through it.

Here are a few which I follow when looking for something new to listen to:

When you find someone with an excellent vinyl collection on Instagram

Through Instagram, I found several individuals with impressive collections of records and music tastes. I'm rather picky with my own music taste, and so I find it difficult to take recommendations from most people. However, there are a few folks on social media who I trust fairly well with their recommendations.

One such personality is InfidelAmsterdam, whom I loosely follow on YouTube but pay attention to on Instagram.

I need to be more like this guy.

Another gentleman with an impressive array of records goes by the name Scourge of Vinyl. He puts out excellent content regarding new and old releases as well as exclusive colored vinyl variants. He is what I would call a "market maven".
