Remember back in the day when every household had a VCR? Sleepovers, family movie nights, and the holidays all revolved around putting a VHS in the VCR to watch your favorite movies with a bowl of popcorn and a beanbag. Now in the digital era of Bluray and Prime Video, the VCR has become irrelevant. In fact, it’s completely obsolete and new VCRs aren’t being made anymore. So when did they stop making VCRs? VCR first boomed in 1975 when the tech companies RCA, JVC, AMPEX, Panasonic, Sony, Toshiba, and Matsushita all sold their own versions of the videocassette recorder.

The 1980s might be trending in some ways, but the popular analog video medium that dominated during the era of neon spandex and big hair saw its official demise five years ago. Funai Electric (known as Sanyo) sold its last VCRs in 2016 after making the videocassette recorders for over 30 years. Panasonic stopped selling VCRs shortly before then in 2012.
