VHS was the dominant video format for home entertainment from the 1980s through early 2000s in both Brazil and the USA. The format is now largely obsolete due to digital media, but VHS tapes remain culturally significant as symbols of late 20th-century nostalgia. In Brazil, VHS was particularly popular for family movie nights and recording telenovelas. The technology is experiencing a minor resurgence among collectors and in indie film communities.
