The current generation doesn't even know what a VHS is. I'm sorry, time comes for us all.
My nieces once asked to see my rectangular DVDs...
In their defense when I was a kid I called red dead redemption, GTA cowboys. If kids dont know what to call something theyll figure out an equivalent.
Do you mean a VCR? Or A “VHS tape”?
You know what a cassette is. I don't need to call it a cassette tape do I?
When they were widely used, people called cassette tapes “tapes” (common) or “cassettes” (less common). I don’t recall anyone calling a VHS videotape or VCR “a VHS”.
Similarly, I have seen people recently say “a vinyl”, which wasn’t ever the way it was said. (it would be music “on vinyl” or “a record”).
