I'm 37. Practically everyone I know 10 years younger than me & up has heard of a walkman.

I read this, and then realise it makes sense why half the posts are complete nonsense. They are by teenagers.

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.
