Lingo and the Absence of 'Record'

If you read the subject is: music, you might notice that I throw the words 'disc' and 'album' around with abandon but never 'record'. It feels like the cred is lacking. I don't make, spin or sell records for a living and I haven't owned a record in the literal, vinyl sense for two decades. Using 'record' in conversation is even more ridiculous. The minute it's out of my mouth, I'm an impostor. 'Record' is inside voice only until I get cool.
