as an elder gen z, I can tell you not only do I remember this but the machine playing the final destination DVD that my older brother left in there instead of my VeggieTales VHS scarred me for life.
Also, Gen Z here, and I didn’t have a DVD player until I was five/six years old. It was a portable one. Even then, my dad still had a VHS at his house.
As a teen gen z, I remember using a vhs until I was in about 1st grade. Used to put all my stuffed animals sitting in a circle and watch carebears tapes lol
As a gen z, I have fond memories of watching vhs tapes with my grandpa on the box television in the living room every day. Tom and Jerry were my favorite.
Crazy how violent those shows were lol. I just saw on streaming (Tubi) that Tom and Jerry came out in 1940. It's weird to see that's when my grandmother was a baby.
I remember when I had one in the living room watching so many Disney movies, that the port of the vcr, “accidentally” broke off. At least it still played so many vhs tapes.
I remember being in my great grandmother's van, and there was the tape player. Where you could play movies, we had a troll in Central Park. Those were some good times.
😂 Yes! We got a travel can and we thought we were at the *hight* of luxury cause we could watch tapes *in* the van 😂😂😂 lol we would even go out to the driveway and watch there instead of the house🤪🤓
Omg I forgot that movie existed, I saw it once as a very young child at a neighbor's house. I just watched the trailer and I remember the songs! I feel like a core memory was just unlocked. Thank you for deciding to comment this. Honestly made my day.
i was born in 1999 and i still remember watching VCR before bed, i used to always forget to rewind so i had to start by rewinding it pretty much everytime, it was weird because we had a VCR that automatically rewind it when the tape ran out but when the movie was over i'd just turn it off at the credits...good times
I'm a gen X, and I remember programming my grandfather's beast of a VCR. I lived a street away from my grandparents, and I was always setting up their VCR.
As an old Gen Z, I miss those. When I was young I tried to rewind it by hand till I realized the VCR could do it already. But man I wish I still had mines and the tapes my family used to have.
@@marcusbruns9729 Millennial here. We never had cable because it didn't come that far out into farm country. They refused to get satellite TV either. Only when they built their retirement home did they get pay TV. My mother was so shocked that she had to pay for TV AND sit through advertisements. This is one of the reasons why our generation has abandoned pay TV. That and plus cable refuses to let us go a la carte with channel choices. I refuse to pay for channels I'll never watch!
As an older Gen Z, I would watch a lot of movies using the VCR and as well with DVDs as well! I still got my so many VCRs and DVDs at my house and I still watch them when I'm free.
Hi, gen Z here. Please stop confusing those of us born between 2000 and 2010 for gen alpha. I had a Vhs/DVD player until I was six. And I broke it watching Lady and the Tramp (one and two) and Tangled too much
As a gen Z from the early 2000's I grew up mostly on DVDs and sometimes I would watch some Tom and Jerry on VHS. I also listent to caset tapes that you put into radios. Best days of my childhood.
This is young Gen Z, not having a clue . I'm older Gen Z, in that sweet spot where, while the stuff was dieing out, it still had enough steam that I had experience with them. First personal copy of the lotr movie trilogy I ever had was on VHS. Good times.
I’m 2009 and used VHS and DVD’s. This is Gen alpha. I remember back in 2012 when I would just sit on my mom’s bed and watch Tinkerbell with my sisters on Disney DVD. Good times.
My dad is young and I know what a VCR is. To be fair, my granny had a bunch of stuff on them, but I would probably still know what it is. Also I grew up on DVDs, didn’t even know what a blue-ray was till I met my stepdad. I love this content, but the Gen Z is more like if Gen Alpha was an adult
I remember this thing growing up. All we'd do was watch movies on it. (We didn't have a console at this time.) Up until 2018 the movies we had were endless. Boredom was never a thing. When 2018 came up the VHS and DvD box broke and we couldn't watch the endless movies we had from the 1990s and 1980s anymore. Time really does fly by and it's going way to fast
… Trust me Gen Z know what tapes are… if they are too young to have used them, weren’t in a Sunday school or other religious group that had a VCR player just ready to go, then they have probably been exposed to any indie horror game made between now and 2015… And if you didn’t use DVDs on long car trips in Vans with the T.V.s I feel sorry for ya…
Millennial really think all Gen Z kids were born in like 2005, don't they? Like bruh, I'm a 98 baby, I wore out my family's tape of The Crow when I was like 4.
Born in the future space year of 2000, yeah we have them too. I grew up with 90s movies. I have VHS tapes with damn near every Disney movie on each one.
You just hit me with a nostalgia trip remembering the build up in the whirring sound as you rewound the tale of your favorite video, think mine was 101 Dalmatians, but the only bit I remember was that one of the guys played tug of war with other dogs while a parrot narrated it
I had Director's cut Darth Vader collector box set edition of the original trilogy in VHS, the one with the extra two hours of content after the movie of all the behind the scenes and original scenes. My younger cousins destroyed it.
I am so sorry, dude... I would have turned into a h*micidal maniac if that was me... My dad has both the gold and silver of these, and my mom has the first OG VHS of A New Hope with the hand drawn art. It's so OG that it doesn't even say "A New Hope" on it. It just says Star Wars. I would totally lose my sh*t if something bad happened to those treasures...
@@ti9erlilly damn that's nice. Unfortunately those weren't the only ones to be lost. Star wars was mine. My dad had the original American releases of many of Bruce lee's movies and the same with Godzilla. Those were lost to water damage when the basement flooded. I remember sitting on the floor with a small box tv and VCR watching my dad's movies. Good memories.
As one of the younger gen Z, I got all my Disney growing up on that thing. Mostly VHS tapes, but we also had some stuff on discs. I watched my favorite movie on that thing. I recognized it immediately-
As a Gen Z, I have both a DVD and VHS colllection, and I do not have any streaming services. When I was little I watched my Pippy Longstocking VHS religiously😂
Im 15, and i love older things like that. Vhs and dvds are amazing. I have my mom's one in our living room. We never use it, but we have some tapes in the laundry room
My aunt has dementia and collects shit from her childhood, vcrs, box tvs, monster high dolls, etc . Any I got her a double wide (same one in the video) and it came with a remote and I sat there for two hours explaining how the remote worked and even then she still calls me in her room to fix it.
@@VocalsByBrd i don't remember what's wrong with the one i had. It's at my grandfather's currently. Which is where most of my portable consoles are along with one of the oldest things i own. A n64.
Brooo, I have one of these! Being a Gen Z myself I had no idea what the other slot was for when I was young but I discovered a few years ago that it was a DVD/VHS player. Ever since then I've taken an interest in VHS media.
'02 here. I still own two vhs players and about 120 vhs tapes. I didnt have a dvd player till I was 7, and even then it was a dvd/vhs player and I still mostly used it for vhs's, until I was 12 when I got a dedicated dvd player and stopped using my vhs's as often.
I am the youngest end of gen z and I learned what a vhs was and everything I never used one but I used cds and DVDs the first 9 years of my life When other genz kids older than me don't know what these things are it hurts me so much Hurts my mom much more 😂
Idk im 18 and I remember VHS players and DVD's hell i remember when streaming wasn't even a thing, Amazon only had books and the kindle was huge and abt as thin as a piece of paper, and Netflix sent DVDs out in the mail
One of the youngest gen z peeps here, and not only did my family have a vcr player for many years, we were also fancy enough to have one of those tape rewinding machines that would rewind the tape and then pop it back out when it was done.

Man i feel old even tho im gen z I remember using that dvd player when i was young really young and i would play the same shows or movies every single time and it was addicting to me
@@lozzy0353 If all you want is to see your home movies there are services you can take your tapes to and they'll digitize them for you. At least here in the U.S. there are but I imagine they are in the UK too.
@@dereknight861 don't get me wrong, when I got my PS5 I went with the one with the disc reader. I still have my PS2 and watch DVDs . I'm right there with ya. I just know that the "youths" are starting to see hard copies as pointless and that many games of yesteryear are now streamed even, not even requiring download. Crazy times
Yeah thats more like talking to gen alpha. Netflix didnt even start streaming till 2007, and it took a while for streaming to take over watchable media.
I was born in 2005 and I grew up watching VHS tapes, we had disney movies, land before time, dinosaur movies, and so much more It was set up in me and my brothers room, we would watch movies all day during the summer and after school I'm really gonna miss those days
I was born in 2000 and remember vhs tapes. I remember my parents bought a TV that could only play DVDs and complained about all the movies they had to rebuy.
As a medium rare gen z, I found our old dvd/vhs system and hooked it up so that we wouldnt have to keep unplugging an hdmi (because it uses the three colored av cables instead). I always get so excited to use the older technology to watch our old dvd collection or the rare vhs. I especially like finding all the neat little features like opening the dvd using the remote or switching from dvd to vhs with the click of a button. It is so much more intuitive than most ui’s
Going through these comments and some of em are making me wanna try and find wherever my vhs player went so i can watch things like aristocats and mulan on vhs again, cause why not
I still want one of those and so does my 13 year old! They're brilliant! 🥰 My mum and I bought our first DVD player somewhere around 2003-2004. I was 19-20.
I was born in 2005. We still have a VCR though we don’t use it nearly as much as we used to. We had literal analog TV until Charter shut down their operations and went digital. By first grade I knew how to record programs and set the VCR to tape a show. So I know darn well what a VCR/DVD combo unit is.
My mom still has her old vhs player, its in the shed now but probably still works. Those things were built to last. Still has my favorite childhood movie in it's tray. Goldeneye.
As a poor gen Z I can tell you I grew up on this VCRs VHS CDs discs Blu-ray Redbox so we just have to watch the same movie over and over again I watched a lot of VeggieTales😢😂

@@dirtbikerplay11 I'm in the UK I've looked around but can only find them for stupid prices on ebay and that
@@lozzy0353 If all you want is to see your home movies there are services you can take your tapes to and they'll digitize them for you. At least here in the U.S. there are but I imagine they are in the UK too.
@@Drawkcabi thank you ill look into it there are a few plays me and my sisters want to be able to watch again and show the kids haha
This would have been better if it was gen alpha instead of gen z gen z was the last generation to actually play outside
My man does know games still come on discs right?
Hate to say it but that's now becoming "the old ways" too 😩
@@RAnthis yeah I’ll be on the side laughing hard having my physical backups stocked up in case something goes down.
@@dereknight861 don't get me wrong, when I got my PS5 I went with the one with the disc reader. I still have my PS2 and watch DVDs . I'm right there with ya. I just know that the "youths" are starting to see hard copies as pointless and that many games of yesteryear are now streamed even, not even requiring download. Crazy times
@@RAnthis lol dude wrote out a full paragraph
[JOKING]
Its sad that discs are dying too. Bro I got called old once cause i thought people talking about MW2 was about the og MW series. Fuckin hurt man.
Those vhs and dvds unlocked a childhood memory
I love the feeling of putting a VCR into the actually player, it felt amazing.
As an elder gen z I gotta say I relate to the millennial more minus the booze.
Yeah thats more like talking to gen alpha. Netflix didnt even start streaming till 2007, and it took a while for streaming to take over watchable media.
VCR,the worst thing in tecnology history....and twitter exist
I was born in 2005 and I grew up watching VHS tapes, we had disney movies, land before time, dinosaur movies, and so much more
It was set up in me and my brothers room, we would watch movies all day during the summer and after school
I'm really gonna miss those days
VHS/DVDs were my childhood and I’m 16
I was born in 2000 and remember vhs tapes. I remember my parents bought a TV that could only play DVDs and complained about all the movies they had to rebuy.
As a medium rare gen z, I found our old dvd/vhs system and hooked it up so that we wouldnt have to keep unplugging an hdmi (because it uses the three colored av cables instead). I always get so excited to use the older technology to watch our old dvd collection or the rare vhs. I especially like finding all the neat little features like opening the dvd using the remote or switching from dvd to vhs with the click of a button. It is so much more intuitive than most ui’s
VHS and DVDs were my childhood and I'm Gen Z!
I'm a younger gen Z but grew up on VCR players because my mom and dad kept theirs from childhood
I remember watching the Aristocats on VHS. And the classic 3-5 Zip-up cases filled to the brim with DVD’s.
Going through these comments and some of em are making me wanna try and find wherever my vhs player went so i can watch things like aristocats and mulan on vhs again, cause why not
I still want one of those and so does my 13 year old! They're brilliant! 🥰 My mum and I bought our first DVD player somewhere around 2003-2004. I was 19-20.
I am 14 and I have fond memories of using a VCR to watch movies on DVD. I honestly don’t think they got truly phased out until like 2013 honestly.
2008 baby here, I remember all this shit, times were simpler
I was born in 2005. We still have a VCR though we don’t use it nearly as much as we used to. We had literal analog TV until Charter shut down their operations and went digital. By first grade I knew how to record programs and set the VCR to tape a show. So I know darn well what a VCR/DVD combo unit is.
My mom still has her old vhs player, its in the shed now but probably still works. Those things were built to last.
Still has my favorite childhood movie in it's tray. Goldeneye.
As a poor gen Z I can tell you I grew up on this VCRs VHS CDs discs Blu-ray Redbox so we just have to watch the same movie over and over again I watched a lot of VeggieTales😢😂
We still use DVDs 😭😭 even Gen alpha knows a dvd
