		The fidelity of the cassette's playback was inferior compared to phonograph discs and the slower-moving reel-to-reel tape, consequently the serious audiophile could not be persuaded to accept it.

	Manuel, Peter: Cassette Culture
		The advent of cassette technology in the 1980s transformed India's popular music industry from the virtual monopoly of a single multinational LP manufacturer to a free-for-all among hundreds of local cassette producers.
		While inexpensive cassettes revitalized local subcultures and community values throughout the subcontinent, they were also a vehicle for regional and political factionalism, new forms of commercial vulgarity, and, disturbingly, the most provocative sorts of hate-mongering and religious chauvinism.
		Cassette Culture is the first scholarly account of Indian popular music and the first case study of a technological revolution now occurring throughout the world.

	Talk:Cassette culture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In my experience, at least in the modern garage punk scene, the previous role of cassettes is being replace by vinyl and mp3's; CDs as a whole are not an appropriate inheritor of cassette culture, and in fact aren't very popular in the community.
		The "cassette" aspect of it is important because of the nature of cassettes; they can be recorded, re-recorded, copied directly, andc., and for most people of the time they were the only recordable media available (1/4 inch was expensive).
		The "cassette" part of Cassette Culture is, to me, simply the way in which artists were able to share and trade art.

		While the process of recording a mix onto an audio cassette from LPs or compact discs is technically straightforward, many music fans who create more than one mix tape are eventually compelled to confront some of the practical and aesthetic challenges involved in the mix tape format.

		His latest protégés, Bow Wow Wow, issued a rallying cry to home-tapers everywhere with the cassette single "C30, C60, C90, Go!"--much to the chagrin of their label (EMI) which like all major labels at the time, was trying to convince us that home taping was killing music.

		Like an ancient amphora unearthed during an excavation, the 24-song cassette brilliantly captures the aesthetics of its bygone era: the unfettered boldness, the challenging complexity, and the earnest self-consciousness of post-punk.
		“Cassette culture was very important then,” said Rose, who now runs a vacation villa in Spain.
		The cassette cut a wide swath across the post-punk landscape—from industrial and free jazz, to The Sound of Young Scotland and conceptual pop, to DIYers and pre-post-punk luminaries such as Pere Ubu and The Red Krayola.

		Since Phillips launched the compact audio cassette at the 1963 Berlin Radio Show, our relationship with music has never been the same.
		From the Romantic Tape to the Break-up Tape, the Road Trip Tape to the “Indoctrination” Tape, the art and text that emerged was of the mix cassette as a new way of resequencing music to make sense of our most stubbornly inexpressible feelings―a way of explaining ourselves to someone we love, or to ourselves.
		So, perhaps it’s fitting that Thurston Moore is working on a book that takes a nostalgic look at that most humble vehicle of adolescent expression.
