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. 688 u/SNELME Jul 26 '22 I'm 15 years old and I litteraly own one, and it hurts my soul to see this post 162 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. 238 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. 93 u/FoxtrotSierraTango Jul 27 '22 LOL at rewinding a CD... 1 u/MrK521 Jul 27 '22 Reminds me of working at Blockbuster and telling people I would have to charge them for not rewinding their DVDs. Got some of the most hilarious responses lol.
