I was born in the early 80's and I still didn't really know the significance of 78 RPM. I knew that it was a turntable speed, but I had no idea whether it was slow or fast. By the time I was old enough that my dad would have let me touch the record player we were on to cassettes.

Funny how they can spend 8 panels on just dancing and still be a great comic. Always liked this one

Is the mom referring to a record player when she says "78 rpm?"
Feathercrown@lemmy.world · 18 pts · 2y
Yes, different records are intended to be played at different speeds but you can select a higher number for a slower record to play it faster

Yes. The normal speed would be 33.33 rpm unless it was a 45 rpm single which is less likely for classical. So classical music played at 2.3x speed.
