I thought vinyl was a hipster fad.
What's the appeal of cassettes?
Are people sitting there saying that "the tape allows more room and more free movement for the sound" or some shit like when people defend their oversized CDs?
>it's bigger so it can expand and you hear more with every listen!
these are all I've got, pretty new to the whole collecting thing
rates?
>>61454484
>caring about this at all
>>61454484
cheap to make
cheap to buy
nice physical object
some have different artwork
it's a preferential thing more so than a functional thing

thread over
>>61454484
tapes are rectangular instead of round so it's really a completely different listening experience and with tape you can actually cut the tape and record over parts you don't like so it's really like 10000000 songs in one. and you can fit a tape in your pocket unlike shitty ass CDs and vinylols

Ouch. You tried to insult OP, but you hit me right in the feels.
>>61454570

i think even quirky girls would think listening to cassette tapes in 2015+1 is fucking stupid
>>61454329
>urban outfitters mixtape
Can't think of any shitter way to support cassette culture OP
>>61454633
I didn't buy it on purpose it came with the 9 other tapes. I mainly wanted the CSD Alex g tape and Sufjan the others were extra
>>61454611
the thing about quirky girls and really quirkiness/hipsteresque in general is it's about image over practicality. really strictly just image.
yea listening to cassettes in 2015 is fucking stupid in most cases, but a PICTURE of cassettes in 2015 - holy fuck, that's probably 10 thumbs up on Instagram at least.
>>61454329
Nice collection!! I'm thinking of getting into it, are these actually from the record label? I don't usually see them listed on discogs
>>61454895
I get most of mine directly from he label and on discogs. This is the first time I ordered tapes on ebay tho
>>61454521
i started buying cassettes at shows because theyre usually the cheapest thing on the merch table. then i ended up really enjoying the format
>>61454669
The problem with this excuse is that if you REALLY didn't want it you wouldn't have put it in the picture.
>>61455309
I have no problem with having it actually. It has some good music on it. I am actually happy to have it since it helps me complete my real estate tape collection since it has vestiges by Martin Courtney
>>61455644
then you did want it. have you ever read The World is Yours on a blimp?
>>61456103
How much did you pay for the pom pom tape?
>>61456308
not poster but i got mine for $20
i feel the need to brag
>>61454329
>buying music that spent a fuck ton of time and effort on having good production on a cassette
absolutely disgusting tbqh
>>61454544
Tape is wound round
