How are Millenials suppused to understand certain outdated Simpsons jokes?
>>
>>86492280
DVDs started outselling VHSes in 2002. You'd think someone born in 1995 would have a hard time knowing what a videotape is?
>>
>>86492280
They're going to have to constantly consult search engines to understand this stuff. Perhaps we could get some of those ridiculous overly-explaining anime dubs to provide cliff notes to help them out.
>VHS is an archaic video format which was followed by DVD.
>Beta refers to Betamax which was succeeded by VHS.
>You may now laugh.
Shit like this will flood half the screen at all times.

>>
>>86492652
I don't think that's the joke.

>>
I'm 30 years old nigger. I remember the tape format wars
>>
>>86492766
Are you American? I'm 37 and I've never seen a beta cassette.
>>
>>86492865
Yea. I remember seeing my uncle's beta player as a kid.
>>
>>86492652
well no, betamax competed with vhs and eventually lost, so really the joke is that the owner of that store had chosen a name for what he thought would be the winner of the vhs/betamax war (which would be a fair assessment since betamax was actually better than vhs in various ways)
the name is now changed because vhs took over the market
(in addition, one could extrapolate that "beta" can mean not as good/popular compared to "alpha")

also at the same time there could be a size comparison going on since vhs tapes are bigger than betamax tapes, and a village is bigger than a barn, though I might just be looking into things too deeply here

Millenials are from the late 70s and 80s though. 1995 is Gen Zed (AKA Gen Dead Niggers).
>>

>they didn't take the sneedpill
>>
>>86492983
not really
gen x is mid 60s to early 80s
millennials is early 80s to mid-to-late 90s
gen z doesn't really have a definitive definition, but people after 2000 are definitely gen z
>>

VHS won because 2hr base record time left Betamax in the dust.

How does that make any sense? Millennials are those who grew up around the year 2000. You can't say someone was still growing up at the age of 22, unless he was OP.

Evidently that wasn't as important to consumers as being able to tape an entire handegg game.

The joke is also in the aliteration. Plus the step 'up' from barn to village is cleverly pointing towards the market expansion of the medium.

what's with this notion that just because you were born recently it's impossible for you to know about something that you didn't grow up with?

VHS is common knowledge, hell the whole "new 80s" movement keeps bringing up the VHS look for videos.

Only in the B1 mode which only gave you an extra 10 lines of resolution compared to VHS. In B2 and B3 modes, the quality is comparable to VHS and that is what all commercial releases were recorded on, B2, sometimes B3 mode. On my Betamax deck, it hides the B1 mode selector on the back, like Sony was trying to hide this mode that only allowed 1 hour of record time on a standard L-500 tape. Maybe it's because my deck is a Beta Hi-Fi machine.

It's more about the state of millennials than the joke itself.

Unless information is on their facebook feed or available to watch on Netflix, millennials will have no idea what you're talking about.

I like how old machines like that had so many buttons/knobs/levers/sliders that all had a unique function. Blu ray players are so streamlined with maybe 5 tiny buttons and it's boring, but it's a small price to pay for superior technology.
>>

remote controls killed it. 99% of modern blu ray/dvd players wont even function without a remote anymore because they took all the buttons off the unit

My mom's BD player is simpler. It's only got 2 buttons, power and eject. Sitting it next to my Laserdisc player, it's like night and day. Buttons for everything.
