longing for a different generation

It's still weird to me how we call it "VHS" now. Nobody used that term when VHS was in popular use. We called the medium "video tapes," or usually, just "tapes." When something was released for it, we didn't say it was being released on VHS, we said it was being released "on video."

And they weren't VHS players! They were VCRs!

How did this change, anyway? Analog horror is popular now, but are the younger generations even aware of the original terms?
