Dad’s Walkman

Nothing screams more 90’s than an old Walkman! Just look at that thing. It’s survived the wear and tear from sitting in someone’s jean pocket and getting played at full volume. When these first came out, people couldn’t believe they could have music with the click of a button. It’s something we take for granted now. The original Walkman was made of aluminum. According to Debika Ray on Icon Eye, the Walkman “revolutionized the way we listen to music and allowed people to overlay music onto their everyday lives. Music became suddenly more personal.” Music on the Walkman probably sounds muffled and static compared to what we have nowadays, but it’s wonderful having it around for nostalgia (Icon Eye).
