some of those kids were like 11. i'm 30 (close to age of some of their parents likely) and i don't have a single cassette. i mean i still have CDs but i don't have a cassette or even a cassette player. show them a CD player and i bet they'd recognize it.

Exactly right. Cassettes were quickly forgotten, and erased from history for the most part. Some technologies survive generations even as they become outdated (CD's record players), or they maintain awareness as punch lines for the times they were relevant (boom boxes, 8 tracks), but cassettes dont have any cultural cache or real meaning. Cassettes were popular for only a short time, before the market was taken over by CDs. Most look back on cassettes a complete pain in the ass to use, and once people moved on from them --- they completely moved on from them.[DOUBLEPOST=1397521804][/DOUBLEPOST]

Honestly I liked cassettes more than CDs. Never had to worry about skipped tracks and that auto reverse was :wow:
- I remember first time I really felt :flabbynsick:. Was talking to my younger cuz who was born in the 2000s about the nes and blowing on the cartridges and he just looked at me like :dahell:

The equivalent for us would be somebody putting an 8 track player in front of us. We'd prob figure out how to get. The tape in, but that joint would've def take. A min

Breh, my mini-disc player still goes hard. Not only can I play music but I can record to my mini disc. The disc were scratch free. I also could erase and re-record on them. It was the best portable music player I ever had at the time. Listening to music sounded fantastic on those devices. I remember when Sony came out with laptops that had built in mini-disc players, I wanted to cop one so bad.

Reading that makes me want to break mine out and see whats good. I need to figure out how to get some of the last bit of cassettes I have converted over to disk or possible mp3.

im 25 and had cassettes. age has nothing to do with it. it's what you're exposed to. my 10 year old niece knows what a vinyl record is and cassettes, etc.[DOUBLEPOST=1397526014][/DOUBLEPOST]

OMG I thought i was the only one that got one of those portable Sony MiniDisc players. I still have it along with all my old mixes I put on all my discs. I was the only one in my school that had one lmao. But I never put it down.

My pops told me this story about when cassettes first came out. He was at the record store chopping it up with the clerk and this dude came in (yet another dude I guess) with a eaten up tape. Clerk said to pops "nikkas ain't ready for cassettes." :dead:
