Where To Watch
Sorry, Millennials, only Boomers can pass this vinyl record vocabulary quiz
Do you know dead wax from etched? What about acetate and shellac?
Even with the convenience of digital downloads and music streaming, there’s no replacement for your favorite vinyl record. Younger generations have noticed and helped vinyl regain popularity. But there’s a difference between getting into LPs as a retro hobby and growing up with them.
We’d venture to guess only Boomers can get 10/10 on this quiz. Try to match the right definition to all these vinyl-related vocab words!

8/10. Going strong but couldn't make it to the finish line! I blew the last 2 questions. Oh well, fun quiz and brought back some great memories!
10/10. Just remember Gen X watches you guys too! Always left out for the Boomers and Millennials.

8/10. Unlike many of my generation, I'm 58, I'll take streaming over records any day!
CD killed the vinyl record.
its coming back :)
Meh. 7 out of 10. I had records but I grew up buying myself cassettes and making flawless mix tapes! Lol so some of the lingo on this quiz I guessed at and clearly guessed wrong!
9/10, still have my record collection going back to the early 60s. Never heard "Sound Sheet".
I have the Blue "Blue Elvis" Album, but none with artwork.

I missed one. I've never heard the term "sound sheet" used before. I have only heard what you described there as a "flexi-disc". Looking it up right now, I see that "sound sheet" is a much lesser used, archaic term for them.
I remember playing some of those. I just couldn't resist. The sound quality was horrible and the record player arm got a real workout going up and down following the uneven surface.
7/10 not bad for not being a boomer 😃
Great Quiz. Now if they'd just get rid of that awful "Sventoonie" on Saturday nights, I might tune back in.
Buy some cheap rubber chickens on Amazon and throw them at the TV screen. That always gives me a feeling of satisfaction.
I don’t care for Sventoonie either. I don’t find it funny or entertaining, I just don’t get it.
9/10 but I'm not a boomer, just the child of baby boomers. I used to play my Dad's records all the time as a kid. I'm glad they are making a comeback.
Do you mean dads or records?
the Split Enz disc
