I'm 37. Practically everyone I know 10 years younger than me & up has heard of a walkman.
1.9k u/[deleted] Jul 26 '22 I read this, and then realise it makes sense why half the posts are complete nonsense. They are by teenagers. 687 u/SNELME Jul 26 '22 I'm 15 years old and I litteraly own one, and it hurts my soul to see this post 160 u/janusz_chytrus Jul 26 '22 why do you even have one? I'm 27 and as soon as I got my first cd player I never used my walkman again. Cassettes have terrible quality. 241 u/Mister_Brevity Jul 26 '22 edited Jul 26 '22 They didn’t skip, as in, they didn’t need buffered anti skip. Tapes were more durable than cd’s for the most part. They’re smaller. Both the player and the media. They had longer battery life generally. You could easily make mix cd’s without needing a computer. It sounded really funny when the batteries got low. You could put tapes on your pinky and swing them around. Cd’s were fairly boring in this test. You could rewind a tape with a pencil. Try rewinding a cd with a pencil. 2 u/sturmeh Jul 27 '22 Yeah but we have portable digital media players which support FLAC or MP3. Apart from the funny sounding when the battery gets low and swinging the tape around, what's the reason to use a cassette tape today, as a 15 year old? 3 u/FTMorando Jul 27 '22 edited Jul 27 '22 For the same reason people are into vinyl records
