1. they do have superior sound quality. i'm not a hipster.
2. they're MUCH cooler (bigger, more intuitive to interact with, "warmer" in an emotional sense).
3. colored vinyl/picture discs/collectability/etc
it's hard to really "explain"--either you get and feel why records are cooler, or you don't. when cd's came around, they were supposed to sound better than anything and they were portable in a way records weren't. but now with mp3s and ipods, those perks are redundant, so records have regained their cachet.

superior in some respects, inferior in others, and annoying as hell to cart around. but yeah if i had a million dollars to waste i'd prolly buy a lot of records.
but i agree on cds, why would anyone ever buy one now when you can just put everything on an mp3 player. and i don't care what anyone says, mp3s [encoded correctly] sound just as good as cds.
