I can't believe a show is making me miss The Mall

Rich neighborhoods still have boutique stores. It is Amazon and Walmart for the proles.

>Rich neighborhoods still have boutique stores.
So did malls.
Until mass transit brought in nonwhites and general economic fuckery raised power and utility overhead. Malls could've survived one or the other, but not both.

I have never been to a mall.

Are they really like they're portrayed in the show?

I've never watched the show. Is it full of loud niggers and women? Then yes

>Are they really like they're portrayed in the show?
No

They were like that in the 80s, not now.

Well that sucks.

Looked really comfy in the show.

Malls were filled with teeny bopers good riddance

>Looked really comfy in the show
Then it served it's purpose, the show has an idealized version of the 80's, except its mostly bullshit. The iconic "80's look" with bright pinks and greens never really existed, it somehow got idiosyncratic after the 80's.

Niggers shoot each other at my local mall

Not anymore. The modern shopping mall contains:

>speed walkers
>a food court that always, ALWAYS smells like baby shit or baby puke or both
>fountains and other attractions that look like they haven't been maintained since 1995
>mallrats, which are surprisingly still around

So definitely not a place to bring Millie.

is there anyone else who would get nervous as fuck standing in the food court?

I'm not watching the normieflix shows but malls before the 00s hit hard were places you could kill 3 or 4 hours without spending a dime. Granted, you'd have more fun and for longer if you did.
Now though the ones that haven't closed down are either on life support for when the land is redeveloped by the owners or are just space for medical professional offices. You might go there for lunch and leave from boredom after 30 minutes unless you are a woman with very bad credit who needs new clothes constantly (women's clothes are the only shops that still get good business).

>"but malls before the 00s hit hard were places you could kill 3 or 4 hours without spending a dime. Granted, you'd have more fun and for longer if you did."

But did they have actual activities like arcades, etc. or did you just have to fuck around?

My city has two super active malls. It's odd. I took my girlfriend yesterday to get her some shoes and it was literally packed. A lot of them were niggers and spics but still.

The Mall of America is still popular.

Not sure if it's intentional but it's hilarious that the show had local businesses closing down because of the mall, and nowadays, malls are dying all over.

Can confirm. Most 80s malls were kind of 70s hold overs with weird wooded installations and lots of browns and orange. The only neon you would find would maybe be at a cassette shop.

They did have theaters and themed food joints though. Usually pizzerias.

This is the mall I went to a lot as a kid.

and finally.

Most of the 80s is retro revisionism. I also take real issue with kids their age knowing anything about the Thing. Mostly adults went to horror/sci-fi movies, or kids in their late teens.

I was born in 78 and didn't really watch anything but Star Wars and The Last Star Fighter. There was lots of violence in kids films but most kids didn't go to horror movies like Day of the Dead. It also wasn't that popular in the mainstream on any level beyond like a Michael Jackson video.

Do they even still have malls in America? I haven't seen once since like 2010

I live a block from perimeter mall. it still gets good traffic

Episode 4 has some great cinematography, and it picks up fast from there and stays fun. If you can put the political crap out of your mind you should be fine. The last two episodes are really top tier movie produced kino.

I'm consistently baffled as to how the 70's was utterly dominated by brown and orange.

what political crap?

Yeah.. idk what it was. Carpet. Couches. WTF were they thinking?

It wasn’t amazon that killed malls, it was just the death blow. Amazon etc would have eventually killed them or reduced their numbers but it would have taken a lot longer. What killed malls was minorities. They started going, and since poor they didn’t spend any money there. Instead they raised security costs by beating each other up all the time, raised overhead by stealing all the time, and most importantly drove away most of the white people that kept the malls in business. Malls were great as a kid/teenager. Arcades, stores to shop at, maybe most importantly it’s where a lot of the cute girls hung out to pick up. Hang out with friends, play video games, get a date with a cute girl for that night. Like everything they touch though, brown people ruined it. Ah well. I’m an adult now so I don’t care that much but it sucks todays kids don’t get to enjoy it. It’s weird that liberals don’t care that all the brown people they invite here are destroying the country for their children

I'd like to go to the mall unfortunately it's a really depressing experience. 90% of the people are 3rd world immigrants including humans from the most far flung shithole enclaves wearing burkas, hijabs, somalians and Indians in native garb. I live in the DC suburbs in a formerly really nice area. You'll also see a few MS-13 members and of course Ghanaians and Nigerians

Well that's mostly because Sandy Springs business district is built around the mall and a lot of people eat there for lunch oddly

What's really cool is that over here in Japan, malls are still prosperous and lots of fun to go, and unless you're in Osaka, Tokyo, or Fukuoka, you aren't going to see more than 5 non-japs

There is a lot of truth in this. You can even find evidence of malls that were hanging on into the late 90s and 00's and eventually died out to gun violence.

Lefty youtubers like Dan Bell at Dead Malls shows again and again that malls decline because of murders, shootings, and violence.

That said sometimes it was just poor marketing and saturation + Amazon and web buying becoming a thing.

Most civilized people don't want to spend their time at malls. They are crowded, loud, nigger soups. Even hipster liberals hate the mall. They don't actually want to be around the trash they force us to integrate with.

It was nice. I remember seeing a guy dressed as Darth Vader once in the mid 80s. Scared the living shit out of me as a kid. There was some awesome mask/costume shop in my mall and they did stuff like that.

>Adding delusions of grandeur to your bigoted lies and voting a literal toddler into the white house.
The absolute state of you people.

Europe was basically a ghetto before the african/muslim invasion of the last 5 years. Your GDP's all sucked and none of you had money to spend on malls.

I feel like I never got the heyday of the teenage mall experience. By the late 90's it was already a lot of sketchoids and obvious gang members; still good for buying a bunch of shit and some hanging out on the weekend but it was teetering.

What?

I was a perfectly normal teenager lad. I’m a shut in now but it wasn’t always this way. You realize not everyone here has been an autist neet their entire lives right? People from all walks of life come here, it’s weird how some of you guys project your own life on everyone else.

Britain had a lower GDP than the lowest states in America. Even shitty southern states. You're all white trash. Italy has luxury goods and Germany has fine electronics and some cars. But that's about it.

you know nothing about europe if you think it's entirely populated by immigrants; there are large swathes of territory and several countries where you won't see anyone from a foreign ethnicity

only in affluent white communities like westchester county are american malls still comfy and alive.

Are actually malls actually dying or is it being exaggerated? I've been to two, one in New York and another in Texas. They were dull mainly because they were mostly clothing stores. Not arcades and shit like said.

>bigoted lies

Mate living around minorities is horrible. This is a fact. Every metric effecting quality of life is lower around brown people. Either you haven’t lived around them, or have only lived around them so don’t know how amazing it is not to. It is what it is man. You can choose to do what you want with that information and it doesn’t mean you have to be some nazi or something. But facts are facts

ahh the westchester...now that's a mall.

dont know what shithole you're from by the mall where i grew up, Westfield at Montgomery, was nice up until the 00s

I assume you actually believe in your own made up world and are not just trolling because of how infantile your antics are.

I hate it. There's a mall where I live at and it's so goddamn empty it's clear that the theater it's connected to is only there to be an IV drip. Stores closed, the oddly placed foreign store here and there. It's fucking depressing.

malls close to big cities are doing fine. the ones further out in the suburbs (or the 2rd/3rd malls in big city areas) definitely have been dying out.

Mate it’s a complex issue, and specific causes as to why any one mall died and when has multiple causes they vary by location. Online shopping hurt malls everywhere. Doesnt change that any mall where minorities came in large numbers suffered massively from it.

what shitty suburb do you live in, dmvbro

what are good indoor malls that are still around? Closest one to me is South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa

Malls are pretty dead in my area. One big one next to a movie theater has been dying for years, and it was tor down a few months ago. All other malls are dying, but an outdoor shopping/eating center recently opened, and the high school kids love it.

Protip: Suburbanization was the most disastrous instance of urban development in human history.

wrong, retard. Some suburbs are poorly designed but some are very well done.

we had to get away from niggers somehow. Now we're re-invading because cities are more funa nd pushing them out to skirts.

I don't get why minorities decided to head to malls more recently in the last decade or two. My city was always mostly white/asian and we were next to a black/hispanic area but in the 80's and 90's they never usually went there but now the spics and nigs love to only shop in our area even though nothing was stopping them years ago

If the mall is an analogy of Netflix as a service killing small retail (video rentals), are they hinting at them being owned by a secret power just like the mall was with the russians? Was this season a cry for help?

You guys being right wingers are supportive of capital holding all the wealth rather than the wealth being held by labor (the workers, therefore the "masses"), yet your butthurt malls are dead. Who the fuck is supposed to be shopping in those malls, and with what money?

Malls were cool, unlike Blockbuster

you all have capital, idiot

this season made me miss Sam Goody

that was my favorite place in the mall

capital is the investment/upper class you fucking dolt.

Having $4500 in the bank doesn't make you a capitalist, owning the factory does. If you don't own the factory or the company, you're not a capitalist, you're a schmuck.

have you tried going to the mall?

I live in the third world and malls are alive and well, it's not really a place to shop, more like to just go to fast food, Starbucks, Cinema, play video games in the bookstores, Bowling, and then you have the wealthy minority that actually buy overpriced stuff there keeping mots of the stores alive.

Malls are absolutely dying because they were overextended to begin with. The idea behind them is to concentrate as many stores as possible with a wide variety of products in an enclosed area so that people who would normally not be exposed to some types of products would be exposed. The other idea was that they were to be the bastardized version of the American public square which symoblically made citizens into consumers.

Why they died however is subject for debate. I think the internet is the main culprit. Not just because you buy stuff there but that's where most people hangout these days. You don't hang out with your friends at the mall you go online and play a game with them on steam or group chat. Boomers are usually the ones complaining because they cannot understand that they're old and the world left them behind.

I think this is at least partially true but the fact that the rent in American malls is incredibly high and that 95% of the stores there are clothing stores targeted only towards woman or kids is a pretty major blow.

Yeah, the mall in the show looks more like the mall that got put in near my dad's office in the early 90s than my hometown mall in the 80s.

My local mall used to have a bunch of faux flagstone walls and a bunch of water fountains and columns that looked like the Space Needle. Didn't even have a food court until 2000 or so.

>About a month later on Dec. 21, 2017, a maintenance worker found Man's body in a back room of the vacant Subway restaurant at the mall. Police initially considered it a suspicious death. They said she had been dead for about two weeks when her body was found.

Watch the local news video, they even pan around the abandoned food court where they filmed all those Starcourt scenes. and also where her body was found in

Both of my childhood malls are now parking lots.....fact.....

Right. 80s nostalgia is kind of lapping into the 90s reality. Malls were a 70s thing that got bigger in the 80s and then some were reworked in the 90s with the economic boom to be little corporate playgrounds for consumers. Then the bottom fell out.

I wish walmarts were all reduced to parking lots

Yeah, series really feels like it's written by people who "totally" would have been into The Velvet Underground if they grew up in the 70s.

The Thing flopped in theaters, and zombie movies were considered lame in 1985. Summer of '85 would have been Back to the Future, Goonies, DARYL, Real Genius, Rambo, Teen Wolf.

Honestly the lack of Goonies quotes from 13 year olds less than a month after it came out is complete horseshit. My brothers and friends were quoting that movie for a year.

That's interesting.

I don't even buy anything but groceries and computer parts. All my clothes comes from goodwill. What the fuck did people buy in the 90s that they needed fucking malls?

Not sure when this is from but that elevator was so cool and there was always a huge line to ride it. There was this great comic book store right above the food court, and across from that was a card, table top, and model store that used to sell Japanese Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh cards, as well as import Gunpla, and Zoids. They even had a service where you could pay them to build and detail the kit for you so that it'd be professional level. I never did that but my one friend's mom paid them to build the Lightning Saix for him and at like the age of 10 it was the coolest shit to see a fully detailed kit like that. I think they painted table top figures for a price too.

Both stores sold import toys so as a kid I had the Japanese version of Fire Convoy/RID Optimus Prime. Shit was so cool.

This is so gross. How do people wear used clothes?

Even as a kid the only thing I remember being interested in at the mall was the store that sold replica swords. I begged my dad for a shitty 100$ sword because it looked cool and he beat me. Fuck malls.

The mall was an attraction back then, it wasn't just for shopping. You went there to hang out, eat, look at things, and there was usually stuff happening at the mall to take part in/observe, especially if you had kids. There were also usually people with kiosks who sold oddball stuff you really couldn't get anywhere else.

Everything is so soulless now.

surely there's lots of valuable shit for vandals to steal like copper and marble, right?

nobody watched or talked about them though. I remember going to movie stores in the 90s and horror was basically treated like porn. You weren't proud to read comics and like horror like you are today. It was for losers and faggots.

Now it's still for losers and faggots but we accept people who are losers and faggots and let them celebrate it.

A hand me down comes from a family member or someone you personally know, a used shirt is a nasty thing that could have been worn by anyone. I don't care if you clean it. It's gross.

Because it symbolizes the death of an era, and essentially the death of the society we grew up in. All remaining traces of pre-9/11 America will be gone in another decade. It sucks but it's life.

malls transitioning from shopping areas to recreational/social areas (focusing on attractions and restaurants) would genuinely save malls as a whole

If anything Malls changed for the better. Stop confusing "growing up" with "everything is soulless". You have no soul, the malls are the same.

sounds like a personal hangup of yours, I wear shoes my great grandfather wore over a century ago

t. dumb zoomer

Hot water and detergent? I mean denim jeans that have already been worn by someone else for a couple years are way more comfy and flexible than buying a new pair, especially with a giant sack like mine, I need to buy them all stretched out. Coats and overshirts and all that won't be rubbing directly on your skin so maybe go for those? New socks and underwear provide a layer for used shorts and shoes and whatever else you get used.

Malls were kind of a weird experience.

I mean truth be told the kids in ST are losers and faggots. Horror among kids in the 80s, as far as I can gather from talking to people I know who were kids in the 80s, is more of a late 80s thing. Post-Aliens. And then kids and horror didn't really become mainstream until the 90s.

Pretty much every kid I knew growing up in the 90s watched horror movies. Especially It and Child's Play. Then again when it came to the pre-oughts you had way more regional interests. Kids in one area might have been all over something, but kids in another town might not have been. There were major fads sure but it was all about what your friends were pushing at any given moment.

>If anything Malls changed for the better. Stop confusing "growing up" with "everything is soulless". You have no soul, the malls are the same.

Some of my fondest memories as a kid were spend in a similar store. This is Shirokiya in the Ala Moana mall in Hawaii. Since there is a significant Japanese population, products from "back home" were in high demand. I got all of my Gundam figurines, rare Japanese language Pokemon cards. All of my friends from the mainland US were super jealous.

It's all still there. Lots of little food shops now, not so many figurines as far as I hear.

Or maybe go to an actual mall out of the thousands in the world and realize you don't miss the 80s when everything had "soul" and "color", you just miss being a kid who thought everything had soul and color.

Well the Mall of America still exists, though it's constantly packed with somali refugees. Two in my area (well I only know one used to be a mall for sure, but they have the same function) were turned into gallerias. Basically outdoor malls. Fresh air, sidewalk, and a bunch of stores and restaurants and movie theaters.

I wasn't alive in the 80s, retard.

my sister had gone to that one mall with the stabbing a few hours before it happened, wish the metro wasn't exporting them

I would love for a fake mall to be built just as a museum to show shopping malls circa 1950's to 2000 and also showing the evolution of store types and displays and products

I like the mall near me. It has a cinemark and a state-of-the-art arcade/bowling alley. Basically as snazzy as the ST mall was to the characters.

The mall back in my home town went to shit with all the niggers in the area though.

>weird
how is any of that weird? considering cellphones weren't as widely used/capable as they are today, going to the mall was equivalent to going on ircQ because everybody would meet up there
Malls were an absolute great way to waste an afternoon, especially if you had like $30 on you because you could just bullshit walking around stores in the mall, go to the food court and get something to eat, see a movie since most malls had a theater, and spend at least $10 in quarters at the arcade lining your quarter in the screen for next match in Mortal Kombat/Street Fighter 2 Championship Edition
going to the mall was the tits 25 years ago

Doubt it. However there would doubtless remain a few that exist just because of the sheer novelty of it, while they get replaced with gallerias where you achieve the same goal but don't actually have a building to maintain.

I remember going to the mall in my city (around 300k pop) and hanging out during the 90s with friends. We'd play at the arcade, try out cds at Sam Goody, eat at the food court, and go see movies at the theater. Sometimes theyd have a shitty local rock band that would play a show on the weekends. One of my buddies got to do that one time with his band. Watching this season definitely brought back some nostalgia but in the end, who cares. This show is running out of tricks and needs better writing and direction. I've enjoyed it, especially the first season, but it's time to end it.

You can try to take all the responsibility you want but when a de-unionized, service based economy has been pressed upon you through no fault of your own, you cannot make yourself "marriageable" through sheer force of will.

I have 3 girlfriends.
And yes, they do.

you're backwards. Nigs and spics are poor because they can't save or manage money. I've had several black guys at my job ask for loans from the company because they buy car parts and computer shit they can't afford. Shoes. Rims. Stupid clothes that don't matter. They have no fucking sense.

That's why all their women are so shit bird crazy about money and running shitty "jewelry" scams on the side to make extra money. Their men spend like women, so the women have to scramble to get money for their own bullshit.

Proud to report that my local mall is comfy as fuck and still going strong, always totally packed. Pictured is sort of the main atrium which they redesigned recently with modern fixtures and the like. It always had fireplaces instead of water fountains, it's much bigger than it looks with an identical one on the opposite end of the atrium. They each have a bunch of big comfy leather couches around them. At Christmas time they hand giant wreaths and thousands of twinkling white Christmas lights drop from the ceiling, trees and nutcrackers and different ornaments dot the landscape. I spent a lot of my time here as a kid and still do today since it's got the movie theatre and basically the biggest book store in town. Great place to grab a bite, grab a coffee, pick up a new book and settle down by the fire to read and to people watch, maybe strike up a conversation, particularly with the older folks that frequent the place and like to read the paper by the fire. Truly a kino experience, love my mall.

Nearest mall I grew up around is a mini mall that they kept adding more and more shit onto over the years, while the parking lot shrank more and more making it irritating to look for parking. It's not a bad mall, gets a fair amount of traffic and is rarely completely empty. Used to be a tower records in the parking lot way back when.

The other nearest mall is almost always empty save for the Round One they have. It's most known for being the mall from Back to the Future, they even had Doc's van, the Delorean and the Twin Pines mall sign set up outside of it on the 2015 date from 2. Think the sign is still in the mall on display somewhere, but I havent been in the mall proper for a good few years.

The creator of the "mall" concept grew to loathe his creation. He envisioned malls as social gathering hubs in the middle of cities. However, they were much closer to living communities than what they eventually became. Malls were originally designed to be places not just to shop but to live and work around as well. Rather than becoming interconnected with one another in a metropolitan community, society moved further from downtown cities and into suburban neighborhoods instead.

It's an interesting topic to read about if you are interested in malls, Utopian design or both.

No one hates African-Americans more than actual Africans. It's something niggers seem to fail to grasp when talking about the "homeland" and wearing shitty afro style clothes.

suburb design actually got good in the 70's and 80's where the landscaping and shaping of the community was not as bland and had a more organic feel with more variety in street shapes plus more trees and lakes/rivers
