Definition: > noun. The glorious, frantic crescendo of a cassette tape rewinding – a high-pitched whirrrrr building speed until it hits the absolute physical limit of the spool with a definitive THUMP!, followed by a sad little whine as the motor strains against nothing. The sound of impatience rewarded, or the prelude to finding out your little brother recorded over your favorite song. > Example: “Forgot how satisfying the Cassette Rewind Climax was. Modern streaming ‘rewind’ just ain’t the same. Needs more mechanical drama.”
