Born in 91, I had a walkman. Got a disc man when I was like 10, but never used it because a, it skipped like a mother fucker it I was walking, and b, cassettes were so much cheaper. I used to listen to books on tape from the library while walking around my town. My mom was a badass who replaced all our batteries with rechargeables and I would even listen to them while sleeping using the walkman instead of the stereo haha

Also, I never rewound a vhs by hand, always used the VCR or the dedicated tape rewinder shaped like a racecar haha
