Do you mostly buy used records from back when vinyl was the standard way of listening to music? Or do you also buy new releases?

I became interested in vinyl about a year and a half ago, and was exclusively looking for used records from the 60s and 70s. However, since vinyl has increasingly become the main way that I want to listen to music, I've been buying new releases now, too. My collection is still mostly older, used records, but I do pick up some new ones now and then. Most recently it was the Hades soundtrack and Lord Huron's new album.

more than 85% thriftstore / flea market.

I like hunting for gems in unsorted piles, I dislike overpaying for well curated records. Don't want to support the fabrication of new records too much (big climate impact), but I dislike that records that have already been made and were cherished for decades suddenly become "trash" because it's currently out of fashion.
