When did vinyl records die out?

The production of vinyl records did not die out, but sales declined significantly between the late 1970s and early 1990s due to the rise of alternative formats such as CDs and cassette tapes. However, vinyl records have experienced a resurgence in popularity since the early 2000s. Although they have not reclaimed their dominant market position, they continue to be appreciated by enthusiasts for their unique sound quality and nostalgic value.
