How do I build a vinyl collection without support from my parents? ?
I absolutely love vinyl records. I've loved any and all things vintage for as long as I can remember and with the recent resurgence of vinyl now is the perfect time to begin collecting. That said, I know my parents don't support me and my love of collecting vintage-esque things. How do I build my collection? I look to collect anything from 20-30s artists like Ruth Etting to modern day punk rock like Falling In Reverse.

They don't like me owning things like this, so I have to collect not only with no help but with them being mad at me for it.

Are you a child? If not then why does it matter what your parents do? If you’re a child then wait till you’re of legal age to move out and do what you want
Yeah, vinyl records are the best type of record - far better sound quality and far less fragile than shellac.
I disagree about this being a good time to start collecting records though - that would have been years ago when, apart from collectable rarities, you couldn't even give them away.
If your parents aren't willing to help you collect records (and I don't blame them) then you obviously have to finance it yourself and find somewhere to keep your collection. This might be a problem as, I presume, it's their house and they'll not want a lot of space taken up with something they don't approve of anyway.
You don't say why they disapprove of your collecting “vintage-esque things” or what has happened previously regarding this so it's impossible to suggest how to could get them “on-side”.
