reached its peak during this period. However, after the 1980s, with the invention of the CD and the development of Internet technology, the vinyl industry gradually declined and even went into a state of decline where production lines were stagnant for a time, until recent years, when vinyl records returned to some people in a more niche, independent form and its industry revived.
