- Recording off the radio – nailed the start of the song, then ruined by the DJ shouting over the end.
- The pencil rewind – why did this feel more satisfying than the actual music??
- Walkman batteries dying – mid-song, mid-bus journey, mid-heartbreak. Devastating.
- Recording over your sibling’s tape – instant war, no peace treaty signed.
- The chewed tape tragedy – cue tears, scissors, and prayers to the cassette gods.
✨ Honourable mention: decorating your mixtape cover like it was a GCSE art project. Pure love letter vibes.
