re: Will cassettes ever make a comeback like records have?

If you want analog warmth, you go with vinyl
If you want probability, you go with mp3/flac/etc.
If you want a portably physical copy, you go with CDs.
If you want a dick ironically in your arse, you go with a cassette tape.

Cassettes wear out. Quickly if you like an album.

Bought the Buckingham-Nicks album three times and the last one is way warped from a car in the sun. Today one time and it can b forever.
... cassette's competition was the 8-track. Wanna be retro avant-garde show up with one of these and maybe some exec will ask you to play.

As others said, there’s a movement among the DIY hipster house show scene that are screwing around with cassettes. I’ve seen some vinyl shops that also have cassettes now as well. It’s like an ironic nostalgia trip based on zero practicality or logic.

No. There is no good nostalgia about keeping a pencil and head cleaning kit in my car. I also hated recording my mixes on my dual head boom box. Recording songs off the radio sucked too - damn talky DJ's ruined alot of my recordings. Just a bad product you had to live with in the 80's.

Here's my nostalgia for tapes:
Back in the days of rec.music.phish and rec. music.gdead, I collected the hell out of live shows via mail trades. I had two large wall mount racks that were like 4x6' full of shows. Well over 500 tapes that I had collected over the years. I had a very nice Denon tape deck that I specifically bought to copy for tape trades.
One summer I was dirtbagging it, working construction and saving money. Basically living out of my vehicle. All my tapes were in the vehicle... that got stolen.
My vehicle got recovered, abandoned on a dirt county road. Unfortunately, the thief had burned the vehicle... with my tapes inside. All that remained was a large chunk of melted plastic.
And that was the end of my tape trading days.

I’m already ready for CDs to come back. At least they sounded perfect.

I think a good bit of these death metal guys are doing cassette. It’s like it’s a genre of musicians who don’t want people to actually listen to their music.

They were the worst musical invention ever, fast forward or rewind for 20 minutes then listen to the song an octave below what it was supposed to be because the tap still or stereo was off.
