What would you think if you saw a kid carrying a Walkman?

Seriously, what would you think if you saw a hipsterish-looking young adult carrying a cassette portable? Both first thoughts, then secondary ones, if any, please? Yes, it's me, and I'm curious on how people might percieve my rather unusual anti-technology choice. No, no matter what you say, I'm going to keep playing cassettes, BTW... I'm just interested in people's thought associations.

Update:

I've owned MP3 portables, BTW, and alternated between Walkmen and MP3 portables depending upon mood. Now just my Walkman, as I dropped my Sansa E250 for the twentieth time. Willl probably replace with another $25 Sansa E250. Also, it's used with $69 Grado headphones, btw... sounds pretty decent.
