I call this "road tinsel", there used to be a lot of it strewn along highways.

I find that most my old cassettes still play, can't say the same for the CDs.

It’s the opposite for me. I live in a place that gets fairly humid during different times of the year so cassettes don’t often make it If they were left in a car or a garage or something similar. Whereas most of the CDs that survived my teenage years still work.
