You're so "it is what it is." There's a reason why the word is still being used and it isn't because most post-1990 members don't know the difference. Afterall, older members were/are still around.

As for what's in the youtube videos, as I said before, only those who know, know whether the people in the videos have actually "crossed." Generally speaking, those are "coming out shows" on youtube. But, I say that out of generalized assumption and habit because I don't know 95% of the (usually younger membered) chapters who care enough to put videos on youtube. So, I don't know whether all were initiated at the time of the show or whether some were to be initiated right after the show. The same goes for "coming out shows" that aren't on youtube.
