I keep holding onto my vhs collection because in my ADHD mind , I won't be able to find these random titles I have. I know they're out there and were relatively popular in the 90s, but its hard to find like a "group" of this type of movie. Any ideas ? I'm not good at just searching by title. I need somethibg like "generic weird 90s vhs movies "

You could maybe digitize them yourself. I don’t know how that would be done but I’m sure it’s possible

Well yes, but it takes a huge amount of time and I am sure others have done it. I just want to try to find some collectiontion like this.

You just need a video capture card or dongle for your computer. Preferably one with an S-video input. If these are pre recorded tapes, you will also need a Macrovision remover connected between the VCR and capture card. If you want the quality to be as good as possible, you will need a timebase corrector. Those are hard to find and expensive though. The TBC will also remove the Macrovision.
