cassette

An analog format that still kicks ass for portable music! iPods never came close! Anyone who disagrees has never compared it themselves.

Wow, that cassette really does sound better than my iPod... and its about $300 cheaper!

Something that you saw strung along the side of the highway back in the old days. See also 8 track.

Cassette Era

The era of rock and roll that lasted from 1975 to 1989. Popular bands from this era include Queen, Aerosmith, AC/DC, Van Halen, Tom Petty, ZZ Top, and Stevie Ray Vaughan. Music from this era used some synth, but was still guitar driven. In fact, guitarists were even more explosive during this time period.

Hey, I love the cassette era.

Who was in the cassette era?

Oh. Now that was AMAZING music.

cassette

Old-school way of storing sound (or data). Will wear out if re-recorded or played too much, because it's analogue. All but replaced by CD's.

I still got some good cassettes.

Cassette Tape

A cassette tape, The Original Mix Tape that isn’t on your phone as a playlist. The Cassette Tape is a music format that was first invented in 1962 and used through out early 70’s-late 90’s. Cassette tape was the original way of portable music just like its device it has to be played on the walkman which is another classic piece of technology created in 1979 by Sony, Cassette Tapes were as great as a new toy you got when you were a kid that no one else got but as great at it is and just like a kid it goes away and gets older in 1997 the first MP3 players came out getting rid of the tapes all your music that you listen to could now be miniature and digital! You want some Bon Jovi, Pink Floyd, Foo Fighters or even Nirvana you could get it on an MP3 and then 2007 came along and cassettes have died off just like the Walkman and now we have the great and amazing IPhone, Androids and several other phone companies that are still here as of today in Sunday August 19th 2018. Even though cassettes died off that doesn’t mean there are still people who enjoy taking a look back, there are is still at least one blank cassette producer I know of and that is Maxell and not only that but the Walkman is still making appearances to this day in movies and by the people like the movie Guardians of the galaxy and several record stores or vintage collectors! This is the end of the definition but I highly suggest picking up a Walkman and see experience music on a new format
