What does Cassette really mean?

Alright, so a cassette is kind of like a really old, chunky version of a CD or an MP3 player. You know how you download music onto your phone and then you can listen to it whenever you want? Well, back in the day, people used cassettes to listen to music. They're like these little boxes with a long strip of tape inside that has music recorded on it.

Okay, so imagine a tiny little movie theater, but instead of playing movies, it plays music. The tape inside the cassette is like the filmstrip, and when you put the cassette into a cassette player, it "plays" the music just like the projector at the movie theater would play a movie.

Cassettes were pretty cool because you could put them into a player and listen to music without needing to be connected to the internet or carry around a big, bulky record player. They were really popular in the '80s and '90s before CDs and digital music took over.

So, when someone talks about a cassette, they're usually talking about this little rectangular box with a long piece of tape inside that carries music or audio recordings. It's like a time machine that takes us back to the days before streaming and downloading music.
