About this listen

Cheap, portable, and easy to record, the cassette tape changed how we shared and consumed music. In this episode of Pop Origins, we dive into the rise of mixtapes — from teenagers crafting love notes in songs to underground scenes spreading punk, hip-hop, and political resistance on tape. Discover how a plastic shell with magnetic tape inside became the heart of personal expression and a symbol of do-it-yourself culture.
