According to Damon Krukowski record stores are “The marginalized, the rejected, the repressed” because the big powerful entertainment companies are all going digital and they are all online.  Record stores and vinal music is of no benefit to them.  I think he is trying to show that the original way of listening to music is now more of an art and goes against our modern way of listening to music.  The difference between the record store and Spotify is you can learn knowledge and insight on different types of records ask questions and take someone’s personal recommendation and opinion on a certain thing whereas with Spotify you get your recommendations handed to you from a computer using an algorithm.  The difference is the powerful care more about making money and being efficient where the marginalized will take more pride in the art aspect of the music.
