The image shows several plastic crates labeled with handwritten black signs indicating music genres and categories, including "IRON MAIDEN," "SYNTH / ELECTRONIC," "PROG ROCK," "MISC Q–T," "PUNK," and "GRUNGE / ALT ROCK." A man in the center wearing a white "Blue Flowers" t-shirt and navy hoodie is examining a record. To his right, an older man in an AC/DC t-shirt and with a tattooed arm is also browsing.
