EMP Wipe Out...all lost media gone?

I've recently been seeing this whole EMP Wipe Out thing on social media and the news... there's plenty of conspiracy theories around this ie Russia and the whole Putin thing. If it ever were to happen and whoever causes it that would be a total Wipeout of technology. Meaning lost media will probably be lost forever. Its just scary how quickly that could happen. I know we can prepare just in case ie saving stuff with dvd and vhs but in that situation all electronics would be done for meaning we also will probably not be able to access the internet. What are yalls thoughts on this whole thing? I know sometimes media is just scare tactics but truly this could be a near future thing.
