Yeah, front storage went away for a while when air cooling faded away and rear-engined cars became exclusively rich guy sportscars. Now that EVs are becoming more common, most of them have a little storage compartment under the hood or bonnet, so frunk is becoming a more popular term again.

I think tailgate is still the correct term even where the rear storage is the boot, but I've heard it more colloquially called a "boot lid"
