Have you ever given/received 'Love Letters' & 'Mixed Cassette Tapes'?

Have you ever given/received 'Love Letters' & 'Mixed Cassette Tapes'? ♥ When I was growing up, it was common to make a girl/boy you liked 'Love Letters' & 'Mixed Cassette Tapes' filled with music. Lyrics & Music were part of the music selection process.

How do teenagers of today express their interest in another? Is there a 'Love Letter' & 'Mixed Cassette Tape' equivalent? How is the penmanship & vocabulary of today's youth? Are there any Songs & Lyrics that actually are capable to capture their heart?

UPDATE: Sony Ceases Production of the Cassette Walkman

"... The most iconic music player of the 20th century is finally being laid to rest. After more than 30 years on the market, Sony is stopping production of the legendary cassette-based Walkman ... more"

They probably burn each other copies of playlists, but what do I know as I'm from the mix tape era as well. I still have a couple of the mix tapes my husband made for me when we were dating eons ago. Obviously, I don't play them (though we do still have a couple cassette players in the house!) but I keep them for sentimental value, just like letters and snapshots.

Sometimes I feel old tech is way better than new tech, and the youth of today are missing out =0p...

I was on a Skype chat with a guy today that was making a song about/for his girl friend. Does that count?

2	I still have the mix tapes made for me by various boys back in high school, as well as the one my best female friend made me. Those things mean a LOT to me, and no digital playlist could ever come close to being as awesome. answered Oct 01 '10 at 05:56 Kat ♦♦ 5.0k●14●54●84

Being that I am now in the age of computers and I was too young for cassette tapes I have never had one, nor been given one sadly... I think its more meaningful then a CD of stolen music from a admirer. Obviously penmanship and their vocabulary has been less then it was then in generations past. I have seen so many children and even adults spell words wrong. Their, They're! Two, To, Too! Sorry for this long rant...
