That's what the mainstream news has been saying for years. Ever since 1982, actually. What I'd like to know is where is the cassette revolution in the mainstream news?

People are returning to vinyl for better sound and a more involving listener experience (large artwork, legible liner notes). Pre-recorded cassettes offered neither. They were for convenience and mobile sound, not better sound.
Well, they were better sounding than say CDs, that's for Gol Dern sure. Tape, any tape, is a natural medium. It breathes.
