Here's a fine quote from the piece:
"That experience of Taylor Swift on a record, it's still different than Taylor Swift on the iPod, the phone, the digital version," said Jones. "The pops and the ticks, that turns into another form of rhythm."
Like the pops and ticks are a good thing. Good grief, what an idiot.

I also love hum, and even complete mechanical failure. Hearing a record all the way to the end is really overrated, I think.

That those pops and ticks, when heard after a long absence do invoke a warm relaxed feeling.
Which of course the current generation will never know. And those of you that never stopped listening to vinyl don't get it either.
But if, like me, you took a long hiatus from 1982 to around 1999/2000, the first time you heard a needle drop after many years of sterile digital music, a wave of nostalgia washed over you like warm pudding...
However.... the pretentious freshman college student line in the original post is just that when taken in the context of writing for pretentious freshman college students.
Pops, clicks & crackle were always nuisance but artifacts of analog playback to me ... but yes I understand the nostalgic feeling for some ... like tape hiss.
I was referring mostly to the younger generation (different demographic) who were weened on digital. IMHO ... and after talking to many young people ... they just find the clicks, pops & crackle to be "cool" ... fascinating as it were ... they also like holding a record in their hands and watching it spin on a TT.

And to me too! I celebrated the end of them when I moved over to CD in 1982. I had that experience about 15 years ago when some hip hop or dance record (I never know the difference) I heard in a club used some pops and clicks in the intro and like some Manchurian Candidate was soon ordering a new MMF-5 and scouring the thrift stores for vinyl.
