Ok, I know this question can be easily Googled, but I want to know a little more. I know a white labeled vinyl is obviously colored white, but is there any other difference? What characteristic of a white labeled vinyl makes it considered to be a white label?
Thanks!

A white label product or service is a product or service produced by one company (the producer) that other companies (the marketers) rebrand to make it appear as if they made it. |
Good enough. Thanks!

White label vinyls are records put out without a record label. They're usually used to press bootlegs (unlicenced remixes) and songs with copyrighted material into vinyl. The records have nothing else than a white blank case and perhaps the title of the song, so they can't be traced back anyone, and there usually isn't anyone to collect the profit either. Promos were also usually pressed on white labels aswell.
None of this is really happening anymore since pretty much nobody is printing vinyls anymore.

Okay, that explains as well. That's really unfortunate that vinyls are being forgotten. If I'm not mistaken, they have better quality than just about any other forum of media out there. Also, I wanted to DJ and play around with the sets, etc. Figured that would be fun, but I guess I'm too late lol.

From what I see the vinyls are seeing an increase in popularity these days. Just a few years ago you wouldn't be able to buy them easilly, but nowadays almost any shop selling music also has a vinyl stand, and many of the albums available there are actually new releases. Of course, the amount of vinyls sold is marginal compared with the CDs, but I think it's on the rise as a niche luxury way of listening to music.

Really? Do you know of any labels in particular that are? I can't really seem to find much of anything vinyl related these days lol.

Vinyl is definitely the format for music collector. You can't make it yourself (like burning CDrs), it looks fantastic, has great cardboard covers with big artwork on them, and playing them feels much better than cds.
CDs sound good and CDr is a pretty good invention. But one scratch and your record is done (with vinyl it just adds character) and the cases look horrible and break easily. They also don't feel nearly as special as vinyl records, since you can just burn your own CDrs.
If more people would get into collecting music, vinyls would definitely have a market. But unfortunetly for the mass even a shitty 96kbps youtube rip of their favourite track will do.
I don't see an increase on dance music vinyl releases, but definitely on rock music. Especially the bigger bands are also pressing vinyl editions of their latest albums. EDM scene was the last to let go of vinyl, so they probably aren't going back any time soon.

That would have been great maybe 10 years ago, but I think people are letting go of rock (finally!) and moving towards dubstep and slutty dancepop stuff.
Respect for them for doing that, though.
Here's something that may spark interest:

Has to do more with CDs, but I believe it goes along with what you're saying.

I don't see rock or metal music ever fading away. In 5 years "Dubstep" will only be a memory in the mainstream (and the underground will keep producing that real dubstep) and a new edm fad will surface.
Electronic music has definitely become more acceptable and popular in the mainstream (unfortunetly not the best kind of) but the rock/metal scene will continue forever regardless of it's mainstream popularity, not a single music scene is stronger and more passioned than that one.
