Forget music streaming. Cassette tape revival is going strong

Cassette tapes are seeing a resurgence among long-time collectors, new fans and local bands. There are even companies that will put digital music on analog tape, while other businesses are bringing back portable tape players.

Thats the power of the 80s to bring it back the 80s lifestyle to life again.

I first started collecting when my grandpa gave me his entire collection (13 tapes) i already had a stereo that supported it (i was 9 at the time)

In the Dungeon Synth scene and maybe the Synthwave scene they're in use again.

Vinyl is back,Compact Cassettes are back but If you really want nostalgia let's talk about 8-track cassettes. Super popular in the early 70's and Super shitty quality in both design and sound. (P.S.: for those who remember; always keep a pack of matches around to to keep the playback alignment near correct).

? Labels started pressing new releases on cassette close to 10 years ago... now they're not so much as sales have plummeted and costs have gone up to manufacture them. So.. er... no.. the 'revival', such as it was, peaked a few years ago.

We came from LP resurgence to tape. I bet CDs and MDs are next.

[@CasualSpud]

cassettes were only better than 8tracks. Modern cassette players are mostly mono with no dolby.
Owning your own music in 2024..that I can get behind.. cd's are far better in every sense

It has never been uncool to begin with.

Don't have to watch the video to know that answer is "no".

Retro is hip again, just the way trends go
