Vinyl is possibly the worst medium you can release your music in

There seems to be a rise in vinyl consumption and as a consequence production of Jungle and Breakbeat Hardcore music (or maybe consequence is reversed?), but there is a slight problem. In 90s, vinyl was an acceptable medium because you didn't really have a choice, but nowadays we have excellent digital codecs to store and preserve music indefinetely.

Okay, there is no denying that it is pretty cool to have piece of music in a physical format and be able to play it, in a same way its cool to ride a zipline to get from point A to point B, instead of just driving there. Now imagine that every time you need to get from point A to point B you need to ride the zipline with no other choice. After 100 rides your zipline deteriorates, snaps and sends you into conveniently placed spikes below impaling you.

Some artists release their music on vinyl exclusively in some store in bumfuck nowhere for some reason

I won't point fingers to anyone specific and not because I don't want to shame them, but I am too lazy to look it up. I'm specifically thinking about artists that were big in 90s and are still respected today that keep re-releasing the same music and when they actually release new music, it's an amen break on repeat for 5 minutes with an AI album art (there is no comment box below this post so that you couldn't say to point out specific examples). A literal furry can make better music than most of what's being released from UK right now, but that's beside the point. There is this culture about dubplates that for some reason is still practiced when you make some music, make it very limited, and then make others complain that the vinyl on Discogs is $200. At least when you buy it, you can skip dinner by licking someones skin oils off the surface of the vinyl.

I completely understand having a digital option and vinyl+digital option - that's perfectly fine.

Bhuttt vinyl is superior and analog and has more fidelity and has more data!!

Okay keep listening to those youtube-to-mp3 64k mp3 samples in your song that were saved in digital format, sent to vinyl plant then pressed.

There is no concievable scenario vinyl is better than digital unless you have a live orchestra playing in vinyl plant, cncing the metal template. Otherwise, it's not better than digital.
