VHS is making a comeback

You know that episode of Cowboy Bebop where they are searching for a VCR system to play an outdated message in the future from VHS?

I have that on VHS, bought it in the past but I can’t watch it anymore because I can’t find a working VCR in the present. Is there a word for irony within irony?

I also have a lot of friends that are noise artists and they fucking insist sometimes on recording on cassette or minidisc or any number of other formats. Half of me gets the aesthetic and half of me wants to strangle them with the magnetic tape.
