Yes indeed! I had all the skid row albums on cassette!!
I was pretty cool like that

When i used to go to club kinetic i used to buy cassette boxsets of the night outside

One year my parents got me a Bros album on cassette i was disgusted but i pretended to like it

Yes both audio and VHS.

I also had a pen handy if the tape needed winding back after it came loose.

Oh, the memories!!

Had to be one with the 'hexagonal' shape to it: none of the smooth ones - they were frustrating!

Worse - was knocking the plastic recording strips off - to protect it from being taped over: to find some git had covered the holes with cellotape to reuse it.

Ah those tapes we thought we'd protected by removing the plastic strips only to find the power of the celetape ruined the whole tape. I certainly don't miss those..

Betamax never took off at all eh..... it's the long cords I recall for the 'remote control' - a remote that had to be physically plugged in to use.
