Record Stores are Replacable
Requiem for the Record Store (TechNews.com)
While it may be cool to have all different types of music in one place, a record store can't compete with an online store--the interent business can be searched in an instant for a particular genre, artist, or song, and can even have clips of songs of virtually every album that you can listen to before you buy.
Not to mention the fact that you never have to leave home and worry about weather, or pay for the lighting, heating, and costs to make the store look cool; record stores will eventually be replaced by online stores like Amazon that can sell the same product at a cheaper price and with more convenience.
