If I want to make a mix tape for say music from the video game Stray, I can dump it onto a cassette tape and an hour or two later I have a physical medium that won't go away or magically disappear for at least the next 10-15 years. Brilliant!

Tape does deteriorate when played. I have some cassettes that have audible pitch changes due to the tape becoming stretched from playing them. And tapes can break. No, no more cassette tapes for me. I have all my music on a harddrive where I can play it from. On top of that, I can play en sequential or random order.

Even Compact Cassettes have made something of a comeback, though you can't buy a decent player new these days, unlike with vinyl.

All those cliched categories 😂🤣

How about being a simple human knowing that audio exists on vinyl, ergo one feels like buying it and does. You don’t have to be pigeonholed to be a human, nor to buy a product.

All this <cringe> “retro” piffle  - some folk simply own a record player or two, like a singer and are used to using records and never moved past them (I know a couple) - it’s a simple logical purchase, the same as buying a bar of soap or cornflakes.

Who cares what “made a comeback”. If shops stop selling a brand of chocolate and they suddenly decide to restock again, it’s like … ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Because vinyl isn't what it used to be.  It used to be the only way to purchase recorded audio.  It's now the bulkiest and easiest to damage medium.

In North America, open reel tape players wasn't really a thing.  Yes, 8-track was available with it's issues.  Vinyl was the most prevalent media and available player next to 8-track in consumer homes until regular cassettes tool over in home and car stereos.
