Old music cassettes don’t die, they become contemporary accessories… such as wallets, belt badges, buttons, you name it… there’s no accounting for taste. I wouldn’t mind one of the USB drive cassettes though.
But what I find most interesting is the underground devotion to an archaic technology: the cassette. In 20 years, are people going to have CD’s everywhere as fashionable vintage items? (Instead of like now, where they are hanging from the rear-view mirror to piss me off by blinding me) What is it about cassettes that we hold on to so much, that we find so interesting that it needs replication?
