VHS revival: Return of the tapes.

Nothing will ever replace the feeling of looking for that one movie that you wanted to watch, meeting people that liked the same stuff as you, buying some pizza after renting the movie, etc.

I have a lot of physical media. It is mostly DvD's. I still do have VHS tapes, and two, or three VCR's. I would get more into VHS tapes if it was not for the fact that they do not age well, especially due to weather conditions, or after many uses. However, given that the price of a VHS tape at most thrift stores are only around 25 cents it is not a bad bet. I've got a few documentaries, like box sets on VHS. I have Casablanca, The Fellowship of the Rings; The extended Version, Gone with the Wind, The Goonies, and the box set of Back to the Future, The Terminator ect... There is something special about VHS.

I have a question, do you know a company who cleans the white stuff (I think it's mildew) that gets on the VHS tape reel? Also, anyone who sells clear protection covers for VHS (the thick plastic ones that protect against light, dust, and stuff)? And maybe a company who sells VHS case covers - covers with the artwork on them?

⁠⁠@@Judyhopps-1iqmy brother in Christ, I’m 14 years old, yet I too collect vhs tapes. It not just “old farts” who want them. You’ve missed the point entirely as to why tapes are making a comeback. For some, it’s the novelty of collecting something from a bygone era, for others it might be nostalgia, and for a few, it’s both. Picture quality and the retro feel of tapes play a big roll in these factors. Also, may I add, tapes don’t degrade nearly as fast some say they do. I have tapes from the late 80’s, yet they play just fine. It’s really all about where and how you store them that determines the quality of your tapes. If you don’t like tapes, then fine, whatever floats your boat, but don’t act like an a$$hole while expressing it.

I've heard all the arguments for why tapes are making a comeback, and they honestly sound like a load of crap. Sure, some people might find the nostalgia factor appealing and the novelty of collecting something from a bygone era, but does that really justify paying inflated prices for tapes that can break, get damaged, and fade over time? I think not. And don't get me started on the picture quality.

Things moved away from analogue because the value of media was starting to drop sharply The media was gradually stopping to be about happiness and memories and more about fleeting pleasure Whenever humans really love something,they always give it a memorable physical representation in the real world. The less we value something the farther away we go from the physical things.

As someone also born in 1996 I get the craze. I’ve recently started gathering a few films on vhs after inheriting my late Nana’s vcr (and the small collection of vhs tapes she had). There’s something that just feels so great about putting one of those cassettes in instead of a disc or searching for it on streaming services. Just this week after finally cleaning it I’ve added a few more from scouring EBay. Don’t want to go too overboard as don’t have the room for too many of them.

I don’t understand how people like this guy, born in 1996, can claim to have any nostalgia or interest in things like movies on VHS or malls. They were barely even alive to experience them. I was born in 1979 and absolutely miss these things like crazy. I still buy my movies on 4K blu-ray, even though it’s gotten more difficult and I mainly have to buy them online now. But I grew up throughout all of the 80’s and 90’s, was really into movies, and went to malls a lot. Both of which in their heydays. I feel sorry for these “kids” who are seemingly growing up in the ruins, so to speak, or things like this. There was nothing like going to the video store or to a mall back in the day and I still miss it SO much. But wandering around in dead malls or going to video places today that look like flea markets? It really makes me sad.

Im sorry, but as someone who grew up watching movies on tape in the 70s/80s, I don't get this VHS resurgence trend. Watching movies on VHS back in the day - compared to the quality we now have on Blu Rays - was just awful. Picture degradation, tracking issues, colour bleeding and pan-and-scan framing. Yes, I get the nostalgia angle, but as a movie lover I'd rather watch my favourites using modern media in the best possible quality. The leap from VHS to DVD was truly generational, and now we have 4K and HDR, giving filmmakers the best opportunity to have their work seen as they intended. If you want to scratch that nostalgia itch, source a copy of your favourite movie on VHS, take it out of the box every now and again to feel the weight of it, then put it back on the shelf and watch it digitally. Blu rays are cheap too, they're physical and you can collect them and build a library.
