Like I said, a cult following.

Or, "Fashion, a general term for a currently popular style or practice,
especially in clothing, foot wear or accessories."


Indeed, note the phrase "currently popular". That a shop that appeals to
a
narrow customer base sells vinyl does not mean that vinyl is "currently
popular".


That wasn't the question.


It was.


I was quibbling about your contention that turntables wouldn't be part
of fashion again

Lps are part of hipster fashion.


Are they? You have stated that a shop that sells "hipster fashion"also sells
LPs. But that doesn't necessarily mean that LPs are *part* of that fashion.
Also the origanal claim was that turntables would become "fashionable",
nothing there about "hipster fashion" (whatever that is, as far as I was
aware the word "hipster" refered to a style of jeans). Being fashionable
amongst a narrow group doesn't equal "being fashionable".


Your quibbles are logically valid but factually incorrect, except for
the proposition that "being fashionable" doesn't equal "being
fashionable" because of an arbitrarily exclusion.
