r cassettes really coming back?

Are cassettes making a comeback? If so, it's a trend that 4 sure i dont get. I hated cassettes even back when. So hard to advance or go back and then that thing u had to do with a pencil when the tape became unravelled.
At Discount Records in Bloomington there were these two kooky customers who pronounced 'cassette' as 'case-a-set'.  No matter how many times i said 'cassette' they would still say 'case-a-set.'
Ppl in Indiana did have a funny way of talkin'.  Former ACC spouse, himself a Hoosier, pronounced 'Washington' as 'Warshington' and i would have to say to him "Bruce Anderson, there is no R in Washington."
