Are We Living in the Midst of a Cassette Tape Revival?
In a time before streaming services and playlists generated by artificial intelligence, there existed the humble cassette tape. With major contemporary artists choosing to release their music in cassette format, one may ask themself: ‘are cassette tapes cool again?’
2SER Breakfast host Danny Chifley is joined by Peter Hoar, Senior Lecturer at the School of Communications Studies, Auckland University of Technology, to chat about all things music, radio and cassettes. The pair discuss the growing sales in cassette tapes and propose reasons as to why this previously forgotten audio format is being revived by younger generations.
