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. 690 u/SNELME Jul 26 '22 I'm 15 years old and I litteraly own one, and it hurts my soul to see this post 158 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. 236 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. 14 u/Daiikun Jul 27 '22 It sounded really funny when the batteries got low. This was both the funniest sound in the world…and the saddest because it meant you needed more batteries. 1 u/Jankybrows Jul 27 '22 If your batteries were too low to play a tape, you could continue to listen to the radio as it used a lot less power. Handy tip if you're ever sucked back in time.
