Meaning
A VHS tape. It is entirely obsolete and gloriously so — it stands for the video shop, taping things off the telly, and the tyranny of "be kind, rewind." It appears purely in nostalgia contexts, and it carries genuine affection for a format that was objectively terrible in every measurable way and universally beloved anyway.
