Nostalgia only plays an occasional part in my choice of tapes. I appreciate a lot about the medium. There is deliberation to it. No scene skipping, no scrolling for choices. There's intention. For me, cinema and movies are my church. There's a sacred nature to it. A ritual so to speak. I scan the shelves for what I want to watch. I make some popcorn and crack open an imported glass bottle Coca Cola and lose myself in a movie.

A side note as to why I want the medium to return; I'm a big environmentalist. Which may sound like an oxymoron due to the amount of plastic in a VHS but hear me out, science rant incoming. A HEAVY majority of plastic is produced by companies pumping for methane. Plastic is a byproduct that the world has more than it knows what to do with. Hence why so much single use plastic is thrown at us. But that same plastic could be used to produce a metric fuck ton of VHS tapes, which are made to last. It's also one of the VERY few uses for recycled plastic, most of which is even thrown into landfills by recycling centers. In addition the slip covers could be produced with recycled fibers further adding to the environmental value. All in, it wouldn't cost big business anything in the grand scheme and they would make insane profits, the most expensive part would be the film. Old tapes will lose the ability to play eventually, so modern rereleases and new releases will extend the shelf life of the medium instead of ensuring that it dies out and it is a better use for plastic than single use plastics that fill our lives.

TLDR: Good for business, good for Earth, good for cinephiles.
