## Resource

Wow, another genre episode! It’s been a while. What will they talk about this time? Will they talk about Bandcamp tags for an uncomfortable amount of time? Will they get hung up on overly niche hyper characterization of niche genres? The answer to all these questions is obviously “yes!” In this episode, we’re digging into the genre of VHS pop, which is often thought of as the upbeat and optimistic cousin of late night lo-fi. We talk about our history with the VHS format, attempts to classify niche genres, the power of nostalgia for physical media, and our hope for a revival of the sub-genre. Join us!
