As a practical matter cassettes are pretty lame because you have to FF/RW if you want to hear a particular song. No repeating.

I like to think I can hear a difference between vinyl and streamed music being played through my system, but I could just be fooling myself.
For me, a big part of the "vinyl experience" is the ritual of pulling out a record, cleaning it, spinning it, and enjoying a full side of an album, start to finish. The current digital music format has changed how people buy and listen to music. People tend to buy songs, not albums. They find a song they like, and are likely to listen to just that song from that artist. Vinyl invites you to listen to the artist, not just your favorite song.

The era, or the technology?
You can be nostalgic about the era, of course. I doubt that in 20 years you'll be hunting down old cassette tapes in quirky stores, or that artists will be releasing albums on premium cassettes, or that anyone with a serious audio system will be using cassettes. However, in 20 years people will still be using vinyl. CDs may be even less popular as they lose any infrastructure even for cars.

Let's not forget that the album cover was THE best method for cleaning weed. Particularly the double album cover.

Streaming is the only music I listen to these days, unless in the car, with its cd player. But I listen to very little music these days. Mostly I listen to the spoken word

I’m the opposite. With few epic exceptions, I want to hear the hit song(s) on an album and not the whole album. I can probably count on one hand the number of complete albums I have on my iPhone, with fingers left over. I have hundreds of cassettes full of singles by different artists or mix tapes, practically zero albums.
