    i’ve been considering getting into cassettes, as well as dvds, for a while now. it’s not really a “retro hipster aesthetic” thing, i honestly just increasingly don’t trust things that i “own” but can’t hold. with the number of movies and tv shows that certain streaming services will just decide to completely erase, as well as the amount of ai generated/augmented music, if i can’t hold it in my hands i don’t trust it to stick around

      I think a lot of people don’t want to be glued to their phones anymore and the novelty is wearing off. By having cassettes, cds a dedicated mp3 or player, it’s one less thing that is blue light blaring in your eyes.

    Years and years ago when I was 17 I used to get cassette tapes from this indie label on Bandcamp and I just fell in love with the aesthetic, the color choices, opaque vs translucent tapes, the j-card inserts, etc. Music snobs love to shit on tapes because of the audio quality, but to me that's not the point. If you want hi-fidelity music you shouldn't pursue tapes. Tapes are a unique medium with a long history in many different genres of music. Cassette culture is a real thing and I love purchasing cassettes from local artists, I have a small collection of tapes by artists here in my native Austin, TX.

    It took me awhile to appriciate that Blink 182 album. I have a vinyl problem too! I find that Discogs is one of my favorite places to shop online for records. Might be able to find the Metallica Black Casette there for a good price.

    CDs are currently my favourite music format due to the price, sound quality and size of the cases. They aren't as flashy as vinyl records, but I lost interest in collecting them because they were too expensive and large. I also don't have a good enough record player for em.
    I like the look of cassette tapes and my parents had some Queen and Meat Loaf tapes when I was growing up. They are nice and small but I don't have anything to play them on and the sound quality isn't great. I mostly want to get Linkin Park - Meteora so that I can have the album on all three formats including digitally!

    Everybody has to start somewhere
    My very first tapes (kinda the first 5) were mixtapes with covers and labels I drew and written by hand
    I'm collecting tapes for almost 10 years (I'm 20 years old now)
    I have 2000 tapes currently
    About 50-50% of mixtapes and pre-recorded ones
    I also have Metallica - 72 seasons also that transparent yellow one (Another one has a black shell with yellow print as I remember)
    I have every Metallica album on tape (Kill Em All - St. Anger
    I have a video about it on my channel)
    I have 4 walkmans
    4 tape decks
    And 2 cassette-radio "boombox" 1 of them is a Grundig RR-445 from 1988 it's a pretty good one in that category in my opinion

    Unfortunately, one of the negatives of pre-recorded compact cassettes is that the sound quality wasn't that good on many tapes. It was only near the end of cassette's heyday that the Record Industry made an effort to improve the sound quality.

    I was curious why would anyone do such a thing. For me digital was like an escape from cassette nightmare. The noise and wow and flutter made me hate them. And other aspects of them that i didn't like. But yes, they are cute.

    It's never too late to collect something though I urge you reconsider your choice of equipment. If you're really into boomboxes, you can still get the one made by Sony or Panasonic brand new. These will be a much better option than the Victrola

      Because its a crap product. Get an old cassette deck from the 90s and you got no problems. At least if it's not broken after all these years. If it is, you first have to fix it up for cheap

      @@ChaseYamauchi Sadly, the quality of portable cassette players has dropped significantly from the time of the classic Walkman players. It's similar with portable CD players (when I saw the way portable players were going I purchased a couple while I could get some good ones).
