From Grunge to Gangsta Rap and everything in between! Post a song and let's talk about it!

Rules

  1. All aspects of the LW TOS apply.
  2. Be constructive and don't gatekeep. Music is highly subjective, and people have different tastes. This isn't Pandora. Instead of downvoting or coming in to say how much you personally don't like a song/artist, post something you do like instead.
  3. If the source is YouTube, use the actual YouTube URL rather than a specific Invidious/Piped link. This prevents dead links as those go on/offline or break due to Google changes while also letting people's browser plugins, Lemmy clients, etc automatically re-write YT links to their preferred instances. Feel free to put alternate links in the post body, though.
  4. Put the link to the song in the URL field and not the post body.
  5. Submissions must be from the 90s (1990 - 1999) based on either recorded or release date. Update 04/26/2026: Post-90s covers of 90s songs are also allowed provided they don't become a source of spam or self promotion.

Posting Guidelines / Suggestions

  1. The preferred title format is Artist - Song Name [YEAR]
  2. If a song has a particular meaning or evokes a pleasant memory for you, feel free to share your story with it.

If you have other suggestions that would help grow the community and/or foster discussion, please feel free to share.

This image is so shittily cropped. Do you have the source for it?

You should've posted the whole article, it was an interesting read

The third image is noted to have a higher length (235mm) than the first image (233mm), however in the picture it's clearly shorter.

Do I misunderstand the meaning of the numbers?

In the source article OP has linked elsewhre in these comments, the author notes that the first image is their own measurement and the second and third are David Chandler's. I don't know of Chandler myself but the article is clearly heabily inspired by him. I assume there was some kind of difference in methodology that produced the different values, like one of them was measuring the tape while it was un-tensioned and the other was doing geometry to get the length of the tensioned tape or something

turns out there is another way to loop tapes using friction rollers that can go over 6min of run time
