Wily bastard awaits impending fall of DVD empire, film at 11 |
|
|
havn't we known this for years? |
|

I remember reading something back in 2000 or 2001 when DVDs were just coming out, that said that the VHS would never die. Well... whatever it was, it was wrong. |

It won't die, just like tapes will never die. They are too useful and simplistic to dismiss themselves. Essentially, the cheap, quick, and easy ability to throw something on a tape makes it still a viable option for various applications. The situation at hand is that issuing something with VHS as its final format makes little to no sense anymore, just like issuing the final format of an audio record on cassette seems pointless as well. |

backed!
i still have a boombox that plays tapes....many times when i throw parties, the music will be a metal/grind mix tape i made on a 120 minute cassette.
i still make mix tapes!
i have hundreds of movies on vhs (plus shit that i taped off t.v. back in the day), and thousands of audio cassettes (including albums, mix tapes, books on tape, shit i taped off the radio etc.), and as long i can keep my players working (or buy new.....or even used ones), i will keep enjoying them.
and ya know (maybe this will change in a few years) you can still buy video tapes from certain video rental stores, flea markets, pawn shops, ebay, amazon.com, etc.
you can also still buy audio cassettes in many of those places....as well as at Armageddon shop....plus some local bands still tape their demos, and some distros still sell tapes. |

Humanity moves from one technology to another, leaving behind a mountain of toxic landfill... with a VHS copy of "Home Alone" on top. |

this dude at the Carcass show was handing out his band Scaphism's demo cassette tape. he was so proud to be handing it out. |

I have a boom box and a bunch of old and good movies on VHS and a great collection of thrash on tape... I dont ever want to give the up.... Fuck it, it will come back around!   |

VHS is more proof that everything pre-2000 kicked ass. and everything post sucks. |
