I certainly had cassettes as a teenager and college student and made plenty of mix/party tapes using them (and copied albums my friends owned). I guess I just look back at them as a utilitarian tool to accomplish something I had no other means to accomplish.

Same, except that I think it's worth spelling out the purpose of the tool:

1. win friends (and influence people)

2. convince the target of my affection that I am truly super-awesome, and they should fall in love with me because of incredible mix tapes.

Cassette tapes FTW!
