It is molded in the shape of four [stacked VHS tapes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/torre-vases) in a black palette, slightly staggered for a realistic look. Every single tape references notable hip-hop music videos and films. This includes the likes of Belly starring Nas and DMX, Boyz n the Hood, Public Enemy's Fight The Power, and Beastie Boys' Skills to Pay the Bills. At the top of the vase is a [tape-shaped lid](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vintageinspired-technology-tech-brand-kickbacks-discman-is-nostalgic) that can be removed. It features a special disclaimer from Meek Mild that reads, “Please remember to rewind!” Image Credit: Tres Bien ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 62% | Activity: 33% | Freshness: 11% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Retro Decor:** Opportunity for businesses to create other nostalgic and vintage-themed decor items for trend-conscious consumers. - **Pop Culture Homeware:** Potential for businesses to create more homeware items inspired by iconic music videos and films for pop culture enthusiasts. - **Novelty Vases:** Opportunity for businesses to create other fun and quirky vases that diverge from traditional vase design, catering to consumers with unique tastes. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Home Decor:** Businesses involved in home decor can create and market retro and unique homeware items for trend-seeking consumers. - **Entertainment Merchandise:** Businesses involved in entertainment merchandise can expand their product line to incorporate pop culture-inspired homeware items to cater to fans' interests. - **Artisanal Ceramics:** Businesses involved in artisanal ceramics can experiment with unconventional designs and shapes for vases to attract consumers seeking unique and artistic pieces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Unusual Home Decor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ceramic-brown-paper-bag-vase.md) - [Dual-Purpose Vintage-Inspired Home Objects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vintageinspired-home-object.md) - [Flower-Inspired Bong Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flower-vase-bong.md) - [Playful Packaging-Inspired Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/strawberry-milk-vase.md) - [Nostalgic Retro Music Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diy-mixtape-kit.md) - [Vase-Like Security Camera Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wyze-cam-vase.md) - [Mixtape-Branded Cognacs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rmy-martin.md) - [Nostalgic Compact Clear Cassettes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cp81.md) - [Speaker-Equipped Flower Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blooming-product.md)
