Unfortunately i dont have any prerecorded cassette at the moment,but i do have some mixtapes that i recorded.Nice video btw love to see people care about cassettes.
@@cookiesontoast9981 I have 40+ year old tapes that work perfectly. Good quality tapes, if they are stored well (cool temps) they should last a long time.
@@cookiesontoast9981 I used to have a ton of tapes from back in the day. They got lost when I moved away from home years ago. However I managed to retain one cassette from the late 90's Operation Ivy , A ska punk band one of my favorites. I literally found it yesterday while searching for some documents. It still plays perfectly!
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.
Great video! I still have my first 5 tapes I got for my bday..in 80s. I've been enjoying getting back into it and I also like buying some new ones. Looking forward to more vids, rock on.
cassette tapes are the best. i love them so much. i just pre ordered kendricks mew album on cassette tape. i bought three 2024 releases on cassette tape this year so artists are catching on
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.
Physical media is just better. I grew up having to buy dvds to watch movies. And having to get CD's if i wanted to listen to music. I hate streaming and adds.
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
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
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.
@@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).
Oh boy, another thing for me to spend money on... 💸
What do you have in your cassette collection??
Unfortunately i dont have any prerecorded cassette at the moment,but i do have some mixtapes that i recorded.Nice video btw love to see people care about cassettes.
I love the format. I still have all my 100 tapes from the 90's and 80"s.
I envy you.. I throwed all my tapes collection, so stupid of me...
But would any still work? I've heard that they only last 30 years max?

Good idea, physical media is better..... buy a good deck, good quality audio cassette and you will be a happy bunny..

I got into CDs a few years ago, then MiniDiscs, and now its cassette tapes. I even bought a retro Sony Sports Walkman. Its so addictive.

Yeah, I've been checking Discogs every so often to try to find some good prices. Thanks for watching!

Nice! Thank you!
I had collect vinyl but soon I am going to be collecting cassette tapes as I got a stereo does everything.
I've been hearing about this 'vinyl resurgence' for over 20 years, now. Maybe it's just records never really went away?
Well the vinyl resurgence started 20 years ago and has gotten bigger in the past few years so that is probably why
Yes I am at a point where vinyl takes up to much space some of my albums on cassette sound really good I love them
cassette tapes are the best. i love them so much. i just pre ordered kendricks mew album on cassette tape. i bought three 2024 releases on cassette tape this year so artists are catching on
Mee too bro collecting casette tapes and repaired my old boombox ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Very nice!

Forgot that blink tape was still available on amazon, just ordered it. Thanks👍
Nice! Thanks for watching!
Man, cassettes are cool.
Right?!
tape boom boxes were the bomb.
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
Really love your video, I just started too😂
Thanks for watching!

I found that Victoria boombox to eat tapes. Have you seen that problem with it?
Luckily, I haven't had it eat any tapes. But I have seen reviews on Amazon about that happening to some people.
@@ChaseYamauchi do you ever plan to buy a vintage cassette boombox? I found one by Sony Japan at the goodwill for $6
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
@@DaXande135 yeah I’ve learned that since then. 😆
Now I Have several nice decks courtesy of the thrift stores and marketplace! ☺️
Making a tape now! 🎶
@@brandona.4600 Cool to hear. I also got 4 at the moment.
This video is adorable.

I picked up The Wailers orginal Catch A Fire yesterday for 20p😊😊

Cassettes is the coolest format. Bro, the video was so good... With the sealed and new cassettes until you had to show that crappy player... Lol.
lol, it was my most reasonable option for a player. Thanks for watching.

cassette vhs are garbage
Cd's Blu-ray is much better💿💿💿💿💿
Stop goofing around like a child u are,and get desent deck from 80;s or 90;s. Make better records than those new releases. AiwA-Pioneer example.
