Remember When We Had to Wait for Our Favorite Song to Come on the Radio?

You heard the first few seconds of your favorite song and immediately grabbed a blank cassette. You had to be QUICK before the DJ started talking over it!

Making the perfect mixtape was an actual art form. You carefully recorded songs, planned the order, decorated the cassette case, and sometimes made one for your crush without ever admitting it was for them.

No Spotify playlists. No skipping around. Just patience, radio countdowns, and hoping the DJ wouldn't interrupt your favorite part.

Honestly, making a mixtape was one of the most personal things you could do in the 90s.

Who remembers recording songs straight from the radio?
