Reviews of Generation Records

Lior Weizman

Large store, well organised, 2 floors, also VHS, records, DVD, CD, and posters. Main focus is metal rock and punk

Aaron Montanez

An amazing selection with varied pricing. I bought about 6 classical records here, totaling about $20 (since I had picked them from the cheaper bins. Some were $4 and others were $1). Overall a great selection, very cool workers, and a good vibe!

Tim Wilcox

Great selection. the quintessential record store for a true music lover. If you are looking for garden variety popular music.. this place may be lost on you. The basement or lower level... is pure bliss for someone that likes punk, hardcore, or metal.

quinn

alternative paradise. the collection of records, cds, even cassettes here is awesome for rock, classic rock, and metal. i've found some rare singles and 45"s here, both for prices that haven't destroyed my bank account. this place has cool t-shirt's downstairs along with posters and other not-so-popular records. only complaint would be that the patches sold are not the best quality. besides that, i feel comfortable and at home whenever i walk in.

Lana Wood

Tons of cool stuff in pretty much every imaginable genre:CDs, DVDs, cassettes, records, posters, pins, and more... And the prices were actually really low. I found The Music Man on DVD for $2.00 and it was completely intact, not a scratch.

Jordan Watson

Great record shop. Really good punk and indie sections. Nice staff good vibes

Diego Mora

Best record store to find metal, HC, punk stuff

Larry L

Cool spot to browse for vinyl, cds and even cassette tapes. They have an incredible selection, super friendly staff and two floors to explore. My friend went in to ask for some obscure band she used to follow. They didn’t have it (and honestly were not familiar with the band), but they were happy to research and procure it. Pick up a pin or iconic tote bag while you are there.

Steven Bartholow

Amazing selection. Great ska/reggae section. A lot of cool 7 inch.

Lea Christine

Such a great store. Very friendly! I found exactly the new release I wanted and more, plus great selection of New Wave and Punk so Im sure to become a regular....

Ryan Syrett

Super grumpy dude working for them, maybe he's just simply too cool. Punk selection is ok but nowt to write home about. Pretty pricey for what it is but worth a quick scan for some records

B. Moutsila

Very nice and authentic place. They even got a selection of old or damaged vinyles you can take for free. I really enjoyed it.

Matthew Paino

Hard to find specific bands (tool) as the order is a bit of a mess. Very pleasant staff though I wish they had helped me look.

Sal talks

This place is great and a must stop if your a record junkie and in the new york, New York area. It has two stories of used and new records of every genre. The staff is extremely helpful as well. I had asked the guy if he could put a record on so I can see what it was like and he did with no hesitation. It's nice to not see some hipster just giving you attitude for asking questions and patronizing there place of employment. Thanks generation I'll be back on my next trip to the city.

Gabriel Ciraulo

Found my favourite album here :’)

Martha Vermuth

So many records - so little time! Generation Records was a great experience - from the customers engaging in conversation with each other to the employees taking requests while shopping.

Allie Devaney

The selection was awesome! I found a Phoebe Bridgers vinyl for the first time in person, but I didn’t get it because I didn’t want it to get crushed in my suitcase. I ended up getting a couple t-shirts, and the girl checking me out seemed like she would rather be doing anything else. She looked so miserable. I hope she’s doing okay.

Fabrizio Tronca

Very good record store in Greenwich Village. Lotsof titles, mainly LPs, new and used. Lots of genres: hardcore, punk, alternative, metal.

Caio Ferreira

Came for a book signing. Haven't got any records this time. Very affordable prices

Sean Lynch

Probably the best record store I’ve ever been to, great collection

Nika

best record shop i’ve ever been. found a rare taylor swift cd and a poster i’ve never seen! very cute shop too! highly recommend

Tiffany Chen

Largest selection of vinyls I have seen in the city. They have a small selection of pop on vinyl but have a great selection of jazz, metal, soundtracks, etc. I found that the prices for anything that isn't used is a little higher than market price. There is a section for CDs as well with cool finds. They also have a lower level with posters, vinyls at a heavy discount, and CDs.

Rt Mattson

Good selection of jazz records, good atmosphere with independent alternative music playing

Alfredo Jo

I've been visiting Generation Records since the late 90's. Great selection of Punk/Hardcore, t shirts and used CDs. Prices are very competitive and they frequently have 1st press records and other gems. The Staff is super friendly and on point with support for your needs.

Talking Straight with Nate

A must for any Misfits fan. This is a great place for Vinyl,rare cds & records. Plus they Support independent bands and Labels.

Kam Dąbs

I am surprised a 2 floor vintage store like this still exists and retains its sizable market of shoppers... the selection is vast and diverse with something for all (merch, tapes, posters) especially for punk fans

Vanessa Clark

Everyone at Generation Records knows how much I love them but I'll never stop singing my praises. I've been coming here for the past 4 years, from Milo to Amanda to Frank just everyone that works here are amazing, they're like family to me. Everyone is super friendly, very funny, they actually take the time to chat with their customers and get to know us, as I can imagine they have a lot of stuff to do but they never make me or anyone feel like we're in their way, always just so helpful. A good 90% of my vinyl collection is from here, that's how much I've shopped here. I'm still in awe at how eclectic and interesting and sometimes rare and unique their selections are, and the prices are always reasonable. Over the years I've always been impressed at how they're getting better and better at organizing the records by genre, and how professional they are on Record Store Day, they turn "organized chaos" into an art it feels like. I recommend this place to people all the time, and will continue to do so! It's my home away from home and is really the best NYC record store ever.

birsal

Lots of good surprises at this store. Can be pricey at times.

Aub Driver

Fantastic record shop right off Bleeker. Huge selection of metal, rock and everything else. Lots of new stuff, but also some killer used finds. Super knowledgable staff and plenty of NYC punks loitering about the place. One of the last of its kind.

Brian P

Hard to find vinyl. Great atmosphere

Maggie Wisneski

awesome t-shirt collection and good record collection. no smiths shirt though :(

Christina Stock

Awesome! Was so happy to stumble upon a record store in the city... great selection, and they have CDs!

Robert Bowen

I love this store, the only bummer is that all the good used records are un-sorted in the front. The selection in each section is not great, so you have to spend a ton of time digging. If that’s fun for you, it’s a great place.

Nikolas Rolonsky

The entrance host / brunette/cashier..was super accommodating ..in all areas. I found rare stickers shirts and giant posters that used to go for 30 plus dollars got them $10 that this place still stands in this century is a testament 2 the power of music/pop culture from the 20th century I even encounter a Patron Who was a club promoter in the 80s/band manager what are the odds

Adam Beck

I make a trip to this store every time I’m in New York City. They have a great selection of heavy metal and punk vinyls and the staff seem nice and very knowledgeable. The only complaint I really have is that most of their new vinyl albums are really pricey. I always buy something to help support the store, but pretty much every album I picked up was $35-40, many of which are easily found online for about half that amount.

Hanna Laufer

love love love. finally found lana del rey blue banisters. and really cool posters. if ur into music at all, come here. there’s truly something for everyone here. THANK YOU

Garren Lew

A phenomenal record store. For any metal head or hardcore kid, Generation Records is the place to go to for records, CDs, used band t-shirts and so much more. Even if you're just a fan of music, visiting Generation Records is a must.

Irina L.M.

I cannot believe this place is still open. This makes me so happy. I used to come here in my teens to buy CD's and they always stocked the most obscure records. I think of it more as a music library - you can pass hours here just browsing. You should visit this place - a part of NYC history! This should definitely be a stop on any NYC punk/rock walking tour (when this pandemic passes)

Jorge Alfonso Trejo Buendía

Loved this place! So many records and hidden gems. Although you have to look closely if you want to find something special, but it’s worthy. I recommend to take your time to look patiently, at least an hour.

Jeff Kulesus

Probably the best selection of new/fresh stock hardcore/punk records in the current NYC area. Gobs of band shirts, stickers, and other music memorabilia as well.

Bree Sands

Love this place they always have a great selection of hardcore vinyl

Nick

Awesome selection of new and used records. There seems to be a good turnover with new arrivals coming in often. Staff was friendly and very helpful also. We were from out of town and he gave us some solid tips about other great record stores in lower Manhattan for us to visit but Generation Records was probably our favourite and in a great location.

c murray

One of New York City’s greatest record shops. There was a time when rummaging through a record shop was an incredibly fun and enjoyable way To spend an afternoon. And being as to how Record stores are becoming scarce, it is great to still have A store here in the village That caters to that sentiment. All in all phenomenal record shop

giovanni escalera

If you are looking for rare, rock, jazz, soul, reggae and 80s music, this is your place. Used records are actually at a very good price. A nice punk and heavy metal selection as well.

Sumaya Alibhai

Neat shop, a lot of variety in terms of music genre. Old CD section, which had some great teenage mementos. Nice variety of vinyl, cool shirts and not too $$$$. If you're looking for metal vinyl/music, this is a good shop to visit!

Ramy Stein

Hands down, my favorite record store in Manhattan. Been going here for YEARS. I've spent whole days in here when I was a teenager. They always have a great selection, upstairs AND downstairs. You can lose yourself just looking at all their records they have for sale. Always love their shirts and hoodies selections for sale. Punk, Metal, Hardcore, and even Horror movie shirts. The best. Staff is always great and friendly. You have to purchase items from downstairs at the counter downstairs and upstairs items at the upstairs counter, but that isn't even a problem to me. I've seen a "show" and book signing here as well and it was very well done. Generation can do no wrong.

Patrick McKnight

Great place to browse. Fun chatting with the folks working there. Very knowledgeable and had first hand knowledge of the music scene in NYC. Go there. Buy something. No, you don't need to be a hipster.

Luis Bossa

Absolutely fantastic place, I wish I had more time to explore the whole place! Downstairs is massive and has some pressed t-shirts i wish they had more sizes for but I can't complain if I've never seen them printed before (eyeing that Grimes Oblivion shirt). Worth a visit if you're remotely nearby!

Matt Watts

The main draw for me was this shop's fantastic selection of hardcore punk records at reasonable prices (as well as other many other genres) which are expensive and rare to purchase in the UK. One of my purchases included 'The Return of the Living Dead' soundtrack on vinyl - an item I have sought after for some time now. I saw it in a shop in Brighton a few years ago which was expensive. This was only $24.99 which roughly equates to £20. Other items include CDs, band/cult film t-shirts and Misfits figures! My only regret is I would have loved to have spent longer in there (much to the detriment of my bank account).

AV “Vision Warrior 777”

A Treasure Chest, with lots of music industry item choices for everyone! Miles the dude working the ground level area gave some good advice on how to shop for a record player in this current market for those of us looking to get back into vinyl but haven't been around a turn-table since maybe when our parents were raising us back in the day! Found some cool old school punk patches, Descendants & Operation Ivy, Rancid, NOFX! Strolling through this shop was a trip, a good trip! ;)

Stefan Rotaru

Amazing place with loads of vinyls and music related merch.

Dee H

If you love Rock t-shirts, this is the place! All sizes are available here and there are mugs, keychains, 45's,CDs, and of course, vinyl records. There was even a live show when we went. This is a gathering place on a block with spots stop and hang not far from the square.

Grunkle Chubs

I went to a couple record stores on my trip to NYC, and this was hands down overall the best one. If you’re not sure out of all the record stores to go to, this is the one. Others usually specialize in genres and that’s fine, but Generation Records really has a bit of everything.

Louis Fumey

Good selection if you like rock, if you like 12" maxis like me head down for the downstairs section. Random selection but great picks in there for super reasonable prices, just have to look in there. Would be 5 stars if sorting was better

mike alexander

If you love music, and you still like to buy physical music like I do, then please support your local record store. Generation Records is a legitimate gem in a quickly changing neighborhood, one that once promoted art and music, and now caters to tourists. Generation Records is the Vintage Vinyl of New York City, selling new music, used music, vinyl, hard to find rarities and way more t-shirts than even Vintage! Some things have changed lately because it's older brother store, Bleeker St Records, sadly went out of business recently and they had.to make room in Generation for certain items. So again, if you love music than Please support this place and any other record store that might be in your area. You won't regret it!

Alex V

Unbelievable the selection of records this place has. Also, a great collection of CDs, and old skool toys like the old WWF action figures. Not sure you want an album? Ask the friendly staff, and they'll happily play it for you over the sound system. Lots of posters and T-shirts too.

Susan Mitchell

My audiophile sons favorite stop in the village. He's always asking to go back, and we're glad to take him. It's a great shop.

Brittany Miller Lappano

What a treasure! This store is awesome and I loved the selection of t-shirts, mostly priced at $16-$25—way cheaper than supporting your favorite artist at their show’s merch tent.

Lindsay Aiello

Cool place! A ton of records! And the downstairs has iconic pop culture shirts, posters and movies - a lot of band t-shirts!

Ray Ramos

Great record store filled with tons of new and used vynyls of different musical styles. One can also find posters and tees for sale. They could olny give a little boost in the punk rock/hardcore section...there werent many options available for this category.

skye a desertkhaat

A REAL treat to see this RECORD store stand the test of time! A great way to intro to more obscure punk/indie/alternative/metal genres-and records in general!

MELY28MEL

It's great that they have reopened the staff have on face masks and there is hand sanitizer at the checkout counter as a record store it is very organized and has all kinds of music they also sell boxsets, tees,totebags and cd's something for everyone

Yaniv Benny

Great selection of new & used vinyls. Didnt find what I was looking for so cant quite comment on the prices but generally they were ok I guess. Friend staff. Really recommended!

Mário Pais

Amazing store with a old school feeling, Nice prices in some rarities, amazing staff aswell 🤘🏽⚡🤘🏽 …

Sandra Diaz

What a great place for t shirts I bought one for me couldn't be more happier. The selection they have is awesome and the staff is great. A must visit.if ever in NYC.

Erika Torres

Everytime I visit I leave with a few cds and vinyls, they have a great inventory of used and new merchandise, many things you can't find just anywhere. Always love to visit~

Elliot Lobell

has always been my favorite record store in nyc. amazing selection, always finding something you didn't even know existed. really nice staff. hope they stay in business forever.

Adam Ahl

GREAT place for new and used vinyl. Huge selection. They always seem to have at least 1 album I'm looking for right in front so I never leave empty handed.

Katelyn Czajkowski

Loved the selection, especially the 10+ buckets of .99 cent records! There is a downstairs and a upstairs and both were nice and clean. They also had the cutest puppy there!

lord worm

Two floors metal heads like myself will love this place brutal sick stuff other places just don't have indeed killer aye 🤘😋💯 …

Damon Allen

Cool place for records and they had a few hardcore tshirts from back in the day. I didn't see much that made my inner straight edge hardcore kid get excited. Was hoping there would be more old school hardcore, original pressings, tshirts, demo's, etc etc.

Robert Freeman

The best place for all your musical needs especially relating to your NYHC and all varieties of Metal tastes. Vinyl and CD's as well as shirts & misc. Love this place!

Larry Nieroda

The bands they have had play live here and the Q&A's authors do here alone make this the best record store in the game. All free. Off!/Keith Morris, Tesco Vee, the Budos Band, Roger Miret, Stigma are just some I remember. Amazing.

Trevor Haubner

Large selection with a huge basement, can find vhs tapes, shirts, and other cool memorabilia as well

Gary Alony

Please take your time browsing ( and then of course buying ) This is a special place for true music lovers. Shopping here for over 20years. Always happy. Always the right price.

Charles J

By now, a stalwart, because they still exists. They came years later than Bleeker Bob, Second Coming, Free Being, Venus Records, ect. But, Generation is still here when the others are all gone.Selections of "rock", punk, metal and more on CD and vinyl. New and used. Videos and a few books. For this era, a good selection. They don't have everything, but almost no one else has anything..

Ivo Francisco González

Very very awesome. Lots of shirts and LPs, the amount of Metal shirts there was amazing, totally recommended.

Derek Anderson

amazing record store. unfortunate that they don't allow for special orders. staff are typically good dudes (although this one guy was a total dickhead on the phone w me recently) support indie retail

Dan Gauld

Decent selection of new and used. Lots of metal, punk. Staff is chill.

Nathan Grant

Great selection, wide variety, and a pretty cool interior decoration/design

There are few good record stores left in Manhattan and this one has a superb selection of new indie, punk, hardcore and a wide variety of second hand .

jeremiah j

too many new records, but they have them separated from the 2nd hand, so at least you´re not going to waste your time.

Eduardo Montoya

Unfriendly staff even managed to growl at me because I took out one poster that later didn't bought, sorry bro but that's your job, they have a very good catalogue of records and bootlegs, is definitely worth stopping by and checking out but don't expect a warm welcome, I know I felt an intruder for the most part I was there.

Not the best in NYV

Juan Andrés Benavente G.

(Translation) Before arriving in New York, I looked up recommendations for vinyl stores and this was one of the best rated ones; however, I was completely disappointed, the variety was not what I expected and the second hand records (Yes, they have quite a few) are just the ones that people throw away and nobody else wants to have. As strange as it may seem, you better go get vinyl at Barnes & Noble on Fifth Avenue. (Original) Antes de llegar a Nueva York, busqué recomendaciones de tiendas de vinilos y ésta era una de las que mejores calificaciones tenía; sin embargo, me decepcioné completamente, la variedad no era la que esperaba y los discos de segunda mano (Sí, tienen bastantes) solo son los que la gente desecha y nadie más quiere tener. Aunque parezca extraño, mejor vayan a buscar vinilos a Barnes & Noble de quinta avenida.

Kei Yamagishi

(Translation) Used record/CD store in New York. It is about 5 minutes from W4 subway station. Compared to second-hand stores in Japan, the prices are higher and the condition is not as good, but I think it's a good place to find US originals. We also have stock in the basement and sell posters. There were also many single records. Some new items were also available. (Original) ニューヨークの中古レコード･CD店です。地下鉄W4駅から5分ぐらいです。日本の中古店と比べると値段は高めで状態は良くないものが多いですが、USオリジナル盤を探すのには良いと思います。地下にも在庫がありポスターなども販売しています。シングルレコードなども多数有りました。一部新品も取り扱いがありました。

Vito

(Translation) An amazing vinyl record store located in downtown SOHO, NYC. To visit absolutely, shame about the very high prices (both new and used) compared to what can be found in Italy. (Original) Un incredibile negozio di dischi in vinile,situato nel centro di SOHO, NYC. Da visitare assolutamente, peccato per i prezzi molto elevati(sia sul nuovo che l'usato) rispetto a quanto si può trovare in Italia.

Rainer Lakovic

(Translation) If it comes true, it is an iconic place. I felt that because I was a foreigner and a tourist, the treatment was distant and somewhat unpleasant. They have a wide variety of vinyl, cd's, clothes among others. There are some relics out there... not all of them, yes. But for those who like to collect musical relics, it's good. It's like those typical and classic record stores that we saw in the 80's movies. It gives a certain nostalgia. (Original) Si viene cierto es un local icónico sentí que por ser extranjero y turista el trato fue como distante y algo desagradable. Tienen mucha variedad de vinilos, cd's, ropa entre otros. Hay algunas reliquias por ahí.. no todas eso sí. Pero para quienes les gusta coleccionar reliquias musicales está bueno. Es como esas típicas y clásicas tiendas de discos que veíamos en las películas de los 80. Da cierta nostalgia.

Yves CADIO

(Translation) Thousands of used vinyl 33T 45T and Maxi 45T. A fairly large range of t-shirts in the name of your singer / singer or your favorite group. (Original) Des milliers de vinyl d'occasion 33T 45T et Maxi 45T. Un rayon assez important de t-shirts au nom de votre chanteur/ chanteuse ou de votre groupe favori.

Guzz Gear

(Translation) They have a good variety, even if everything is much more focused on the old school and their specialty is neither Metal nor Modern. It has a good selection of punk and hardcore. Of course, the prices of what is on the first floor is between $15 and $35 USD. Something that is super lousy and that's why I only give 3 stars is the people who work there. There were two girls who had a horrible attitude. My sister and I asked them about some bands and if they had their records in stock, which they searched for and found nothing, and just a few minutes later I found not just one but 2 vinyls from the band I wanted, which was Bullet For My Valentine. The guy below the same with a super arrogant and roe attitude. If you do go, prepare for pretentious employees, not helping you, and regular prices. That if the place is super cool. It hurts that his own staff leaves such an equitable experience. (Original) Tienen buena variedad, aun que si todo es mucho más enfocado a lo old school y su especialidad no es ni el Metal ni lo Moderno. Tiene una buena selección de punk y hardcore. Eso si, los precios de lo que está en en el primer piso está entre $15 y $35 USD. Algo que si está súper pésimo y por eso doy solo 3 estrellas es la gente que trabaja ahí. Había dos chavas las cuales tenían una actitud horrible. Mi hermana y yo les preguntamos sobre algunas bandas y si tenían stock de sus discos, a lo cual según buscaron y no había nada, y solo unos minutos después encontré no solo uno, sino 2 vinilos de la banda que quería, la cual era Bullet For My Valentine. El tipo de abajo igual con una actitud super prepotente y de hueva. Si llegan a ir prepárense para empleados pretensiosos, que no te ayuden y precios regulares. Eso si, el lugar está súper cool. Lastima que su propio staff deje una experiencia tan equis.
