It's tactile, it's multimedia (audio + visual as opposed to just audio), it provides a different, more long form experience, there is a lot of old media that never made beyond vinyl, old classics are cheap, and new vinyl releases are usually premium items that pay a lot of attention to the visual aspect (and give you a digital download as well often). Vinyl shops have always existed, but I don't think it's a coincidence that they are now thriving when digital streaming and downloads are in ascendence.
