A place to share and discuss Cassette Futurism: media where the technology closely matches the computers and technology of the 70s and 80s.
Whether it's bright colors and geometric shapes, the tendency towards stark plainness, or the the lack of powerful computers and cell phones, Cassette Futurism includes: Cassettes, ROM chips, CRT displays, computers reminiscent of microcomputers like the Commodore 64, freestanding hi-fi systems, small LCD displays, and other analog technologies.

I like how it looks but I don’t think there’s enough room for the tape heads. I know it’s more about the vibe but is there an example of the tape side having so little room?
There really isn't is there? I'm not aware of any compact version. But I feel like the design could be fairly easily fixed.
They would have to retract, and there wouldn’t be enough space for that. But when you see the Sony WM-EX672 size it doesn’t sound that crazy.
