I'm Gen Z and have burned both CDs and DVDs...

So we had special disk drives that basically zapped holes in a CD that played music or stored data. That's why we call it 'burning'
And get this: You didn't burn 4000 CDs. You burned one, sent it up to Sony in New Jersey, they cracked it open and then pushed it again polymer en masse to duplicate the CD. They called this "pressing."
