Cassette tapes are making a huge comeback in my local indie scene
I keep noticing more and more bands releasing their stuff on cassettes instead of just digital. It's not just the older groups, new acts are doing it too. For example, this band Static Waves sold out their tape run in like two days. I think fans dig having a physical thing that's cheap and kinda retro. It adds something special compared to just another Spotify link. My friend's band just pressed their demo on tape and it's doing really well. Makes me wonder if CDs are next or if we'll skip right to vinyl again.

Cassettes are kinda neat for collectors, but the audio quality sucks. I had a bunch back in the day, and they always got eaten by the player.

Trying to get into cassettes again made me realize how bad my old player is. It ate my favorite tape last week, which was a real bummer. Now I just use it as a paperweight to look cool at parties.
