Weirdly enough a few artists have released stuff on cassette and a small (very small) number of cassette only record labels have sprung up. It's not been given the publicity that vinyl has, which perhaps goes back to your earlier point about the coverage. If enough places started saying "mate, there's a cassette revival on" then people would start to believe it. I think give the digital-ness of most music collections today, a cassette tape is the equivalent of an Easter egg hunt. You've got to jump through so many hoops to actually listen to it, that it's probably a thrill if all you've ever known is Spotify.
