I think that the basic point of the abstract was that of compilation of self-reported behavior of an undisclosed (size/compositon) group of teenagers as a secondary finding in a larger body of research with no further analysis asside from author commentary. IMHO this does not look like a very good source if you are writting a research paper.
IMO most younger people that are into vinyl like the nostalgia, heard somewhere that it is actually better sound quality, and convince themselves that their $100 Sony TT is reproducing said better sound.
Rememeber that the average consumer will buy a bucket full of digital to go with their hi-definition speakers that have 1,000 watts. Self-reported behavior is notoriously inaccurate data. Couple this with the mountain of misconceptions that the average consumer has about,... well,... everything and you have a great big pile of compromise.
Now go drink a nice Rothschild (now that we all know that we like wine) and listen to source of choice (or watch one of the greatest movies of all time,... The J___... yes,... that one).
