Just tired of people saying stuff was on TAPE. Nobody records on tape any more than they put it on a Dictaphone cylinder. There is no tape. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dictaphone
I just think “tape” is catchier than, you know. “Digitized audio recording.”

All recordings are digital now. You only even say "audio recording" to indicate you didn't record video. But I know some old words will still with us. People still call snippets of video "footage" even though there are not feed of anything to measure.

I mean, right. But it’s like calling a cola a “Coke,” or a tissue a “Kleenex.” It’s shorthand now. I’m all for language purity, but languages evolve. No stopping it.
