Nah, those people are far more well-adjusted than the true jazz-head. You won't be having any fun. In fact, after a while you won't even enjoy jazz anymore - you'll just get a vague sense of superiority from collecting records no one else wants.

And then we'll move on to classical...
Yeah I was thinking about the gateways, there's a few that lead to jazz. Dub, reggae, jungle, prog, noise, musique concrete etc etc all lead to jazz p easily and jazz leads to classical. What happens after classical??? Is it the final boss. or does rhebcyxle start again?? I'm scared.
Ok you're not gonna like this.
In fact you might block me.
But...
I don't have a record player.
I just do digital downloads or YouTube.
Ok, it's gonna get worse. Please brace yourself.
I don't even have speakers.
And often I'm too headphone-fatigued and listen just off my laptop speakers.
Hello? Are you still there?
You don't PLAY records, you silly goose - you just put them on a shelf and hope that the vague satisfaction that comes from ownership offsets the anxiety you feel when you think of all the records you don't have.
