I don't know. I think vinyl might count as in the "hip now" category by KB standards. I have about 100 records myself. You could call me a hipster if you wanted. I honestly think the label has faded in both weight and "significance" - you don't hear people talking about hipsters any more, or at least I don't - the focus has turned to the "millenials."

Also, I definitely have that Simon & Garfunkel album. Of my 100 records, only 10% (or yes, exactly 10) are "modern" music/releases. 70-80% of it is classic rock - Who, Creedence, Stones, Beatles, etc - and then there's a bit of classical in there too just to confuse everyone. I love my records. Sadly I don't have a nice enough turntable/set-up to play them all the time, but it's on my "upgrade if my bonus is big enough" list.

As for me - I have played Bingo twice in the past three weeks with a group of friends. It's bar bingo though, not money-bingo at a fire station, so I'm not sure if that counts. (Prizes include pint glasses and cheap sex toys.)

Some of my friends and I have developed a fun habit over the years, where we "remember" and wax poetic about things from the old days that we are not actually old enough to have experienced. The big one is "Remember when you could smoke on airplanes?" but we mix these references up, as we can.
