As an awkward teenager, who didn't have great communication skills, I'd make & gift custom mixed tapes to my crushes instead of telling them. If I really liked you, I'd make mixed tapes & create beautiful prints from my film camera, in a darkroom. That's how I communicated my crushes.

@imhotep I still have a collection of mixed tapes & an old stereo with dual cassettes from the early 90s. I got the stereo for free off Varage 8 years ago.
@PhoenixSerenity I did that too! The mox tape part. And I was crushed if it seemed like she didn't appreciate it.
@mercury5979 It brought me great joys when any of my crushes played my mixed tapes 😃
@PhoenixSerenity It's a world that's vanishing.
Studio masters are being digitised at massive scale for streaming, but a world of lovingly crafted mixtapes are crumbling and heading to landfills.
