It’s 1989. The glaring halogen lamps from the white track lights above illuminate the slat wall displaying the seasons hottest trends. Screeching hangars against the racks muddle the distance as you make your way into the mall halls. The scene is lit with stone wash jeans, Adidas high tops, mullets, flat tops and perms. It’s the days of Nintendo and MTV. A gentle rain patterns against the sky lights. Pizza beckons you from the food courts.
I can smell the mall. and I can smell the food court too. an intoxicating mix of Chinese food and Sbarro pizza. Tough to simply walk by and not salivate like Pavlov's dog.
The feeling of nostalgia when you hear this hits you head on. Think back to your youth of shopping through a shopping center or mall that doesn't exist anymore, the dystopian feeling it has is that of loss and sadness that something is just a memory and no longer there.
@@zombiedude8027 Agreed. I only care about retro/nostalgic things.. All of the music, fashion, and other things nowadays are absolute garbage. I'm sad that things like malls are just fading into memories..
@ethnically american The 2000's and all the way up to 2011 is where things stopped being good at all, even remotely, at least even the internet had a frontier, wild west, free, simple, and nostalgic feel to it, now there is nothing like that anymore. I personally believe it is to far fetched, unbelievable, or etc. to happen but space could be the last thing like that where one day maybe your average person could take their first trip, their first look, in space, or onto another planet, look out with wonder, amazement, and eventually someday remember what it was like to do that early on when it was more original and not common. The only other unexplored places are something most people would not want or choose to be in, the poles, or the deepest parts of the oceans...
@@thatpctvguy Yeah, change is fucking awful, and its ruining things these days, some of the best things within the best years of the world and of our lives are gone due to change that resulted in something worse that is only getting even worse as we speak.
Where are all you cool people at? I agree with all of you. Change isn't always a good thing or a good idea. I am sick of people shoving that in my throat.
+SkyHigh Flight Simulations Ha ha me too, I've not come across this strange type of music before but it is almost like how you'd imagine music to sound in a dream. Suited Dan's video perfectly!
80s mall called “the sunrise mall” synth wave sun 80s art. Tile Floors, people skating around the mall with skates not roller blades , the smell of wax from the rink, the glow of neon lights everywhere!! Every escalator is working, KB toys is open!! Sbarro cooking up some good pizza, your mom is making you follow her to Montgomery Ward… but you plead your case to go to Camelot Music after to get a Tape/CD. What a time we lived in we didn’t realize it was one of the best eras because we were in it. Now that we’re not we can only look back … see you in time!
The song reminds me of the 70s and 80s when my mother was a young mom at the time, and I was a baby I miss the old fun times in the mall, and watching a lot of people shopping, eating at the food lobby I am now 21 year's old, and this song is nostalgia to my ears.
I like how they made it sound like a worn-out cassette, which gives it a very authentic 80s vibe to it, but is there a version of this song that doesn't have the worn-out cassette effects? I.E., it sounds like a brand-new recording?
@@Teraforce88 The worn out cassette effect comes from the slowing down of the original track. Unless you're talking about the tune being drenched in reverb.
I LOVE the worn-out cassette reverb sound, it's a huge part of the appeal of Vaporwave. I imagine this is what it would sound like if you were by yourself walking through an old nearly vacant mall, played over worn out ceiling speakers.
I was poor in the 80s but didn't give a damn, still had lots of fun, a hell of a lot more then I do now even though I have a job and can afford to own a car. Of course the job is so stressful I wish I could just do over and go back to those days instead. Seriously hate these past 2 decades.
picture this... it's the late 80s or early 90s you and your family head to the mall while your mom is looking for outfits in Macy's your teenage sister is hanging out with her friends and you try to sneaking you way it to the toy store"s and the Arcades and get back before mom finds out
once you take into consideration of how this song is about the hollownesss of consumorizim and how sad it really is, it was kinda akward scary to listen to.... now i just listen to it cuz it sounds gudlol

Them mall days was banging in that era

Ahhh Sbarro pizza...
and star trek tng is on and its sandiego/la
Reminds me of the innocent times being a baby in a stroller , watching all the big people in the mall .
Same
I could listen to this all day and not get tired of it
+GrungeBeatle Same here.
seriously
I'm actually doing just that, was listening in the car all day and now its been on loop at home for hours. LOLZ
If 2019 was a song
Vaporwave makes me want to open an 80s themed mall & just have soundtracks of Vaporwave playing all day
I'd invest
I'll be there 👍
That would be the coolest thing ever. A retro mall for people to hang out.
You can do it! in the net.
Aye!

Nostalgia tends to be the only thing I give a shit about nowadays, don't care for the past 2 decades. The 2000s onwards suuuck

Sampled from "American Gypsy - The Champ", the original song
This song is assuring and positively reinforcing. "we'll be alright, baby wanna tell we'll be all right"
I thought they were saying “come incorrect, baby no chance!” 🤣🤣
i wish malls still played this kind of music :(
But malls are being abandoned or loosing things and it's sad
the one near me still does lol
No music at the strip mall sadly :(
"This is Dan Bell" brought me here, and I actually really enjoy this track! Has that real 1980s new wave vibe to it.
+SkyHigh Flight Simulations Ha ha me too, I've not come across this strange type of music before but it is almost like how you'd imagine music to sound in a dream. Suited Dan's video perfectly!
+SkyHigh Flight Simulations Me too!! LOL! It is Catchy!
+SkyHigh Flight Simulations yes, yes yes yes he did LOL
+tjf4375 What you speak of is vaporwave.
I can't 'not' think of that 80's chick with the nice legs dancing in that Dan Bell video when I hear this : )
Your big comeback,
Baby you’re the champ!
It’s gonna be,
Your big comeback,
Baby you’re the champ!
Thank you
I hope this comes to spotify one day
This is Dan Bell, Thank you for bringing me here. I feel as if time is reverting backwards when i listen to this...
This is a fucking masterpiece
I imagine myself driving to the mall on a saturday during the 80s. And also was playing this.
i freaking love that picture and what a kewl song too.
Daniel Panter not gonna lie i had someone make a custom poster of that picture
Aesthetic is fuck
Getting strong Mid 80s
vibes with this one. Magical
and very nostalgic.
This song opens the realm of the 80’s

The stores are open
I love how this track continuously fades from left to right to left to right.. somehow makes it feel oddly more empty
I hope there is an late 80s mall with music like this in heaven
One of the most important vaporwave records ever made
It's your big comeback, baby you're the champ !
My favorite high song 👌
I see you're Man of culture as well
Hell yeah man! Listen to this, lights off or have neon lit room while on cannabis, LSD or shrooms and you won't regret it!
This makes me feel like a billonaire in the 80's only enjoying the life
The song reminds me of the 70s and 80s when my mother was a young mom at the time, and I was a baby I miss the old fun times in the mall, and watching a lot of people shopping, eating at the food lobby I am now 21 year's old, and this song is nostalgia to my ears.
You were born in 1999?, How could you remember the 70s and 80s?
@@ricardodiaz6384 1998** lol and because my mother was born in the 70s I grew up listening to old music and this shit lol
Can always count on EmpLemon to introduce me to more Vaporwave.
3 people didn't enter through the lobby
David Led Make that 6 people who didn’t enter through the lobby. Bastards
I sneak in via the service entrance...
10 people now
11 in 2021. we here and growing
I’ve been listening to this for about 3-4 years on an off
M A L L S O F T
smooth and silky yet with a dark reverb

Never mind, I looked up American Gypsy - The Champ. Still, it would be cool to hear this version without the worn-out cassette effects.
@@Teraforce88 The worn out cassette effect comes from the slowing down of the original track. Unless you're talking about the tune being drenched in reverb.

Mallwave and 80's capitalism
Yeah it was a great time to be a teenager back in the 80's
+Byron Benguche' I bet.... I was established in 1988 so I wouldn't know
Yep - if you weren't lucky enough to be riding the money wave, the 80s were a bloody miserable time.
I was poor in the 80s but didn't give a damn, still had lots of fun, a hell of a lot more then I do now even though I have a job and can afford to own a car. Of course the job is so stressful I wish I could just do over and go back to those days instead. Seriously hate these past 2 decades.
Only if you were in United States, Canada. We had the damn USSR in Europe during the 80s, it was a living hell.
This song always helps me to relax
Reminds of 80's skate boards and Vans shoes which i still wear.
I don't know what I love more. This song, or Mr. Dan Bell.
The elevator was nice
and the people were like sugar and spice
but my favorite hobby
is to Enter Through The Lobby
Mall music whenever I go to the mall I put this song on I love mall music
me too !!!!!
This is my new channel which i also own Kevin XL Gamer
Beginning is stunning
Vaporwave will forever be my favorite genre of music
"you'll be the man, baby gorbachev"
😄👍
Lets back to 80S
The world you once knew no longer exists
This promotes spiritual uplift and awakening
I'm thanking MalltaleVN for bringing me to these songs, this is the main song I wanted to find in it.
The bass reminds me of somebody sole sliding in a dimly lit museum.
I wish this was available on iTunes!!
luvjxn Same here!
It available in my mind Forever!!!!!
Or Spotify
Real A R T is free.
@@Yantryman realest comment ive seen in a minute. +rep
Incredible you’ve transformed me to a new elevation ❤️
After 0:30 and 2:00 you enter fucking paradise driving in cabriolet through warm 80's Las Vegas road with palms on the sides
why am I crying?
This is absolutely one of the quintessential mallsoft tracks in my mind, so I'm surprised to find that the art doesn't suggest malls at all
❤ Disconscious!
Great jam
Simple and good
Walking through the mall. Eating at the food court, shopping at the stores. Then closing it all out with some arcade action. Good times
The first 10 seconds are brilliant, i wish the rest of the track had that same intensity and range
I play this in church
Dunno bout y’all, but I’m still living in the 80s, ain’t no reason I can’t
Must say, much more interesting than the original version of the song.
+BluncheonMeat I'm curious, what is the original version of this song?
Slow the original down to 0.75 speed, it sounds epic
When you watch vaporwave on a broken VHS tape 📼
I love this song I can play it on a loop.
Has to come here for my morning dose 🎶🙏
I thought he was saying “Come incorrect, baby no chance” 😂 actually, “we’ll be aright. Baby wanna tell. Baby wanna tell.”
The comments to songs like these are a bit of a rabbit hole... My friends, why so melancholy ? The present day is beautiful too :)
No it's not it sucks
Thanks emplemon
i had listened to this previously in a mallsoft playlist so hearing it in the new video was a very pleasant suprise
Still fresh.
Listening to this while entering the main plaza makes going to the mall 100x better
just stumbled upon this gem good shit
Fuck this is wonderful
What's the sample????? BEST TRACK EVEEEEER
I knew I'm a year late to this, but in case you still don't know, the sample is American Gypsy - The Champ
@@arandompasserby7940 im glad i expanded the comment section
how is this 10 years old already..?
Ouch! 😊
I was born in 1993 but I'll be damned if my baby ass didnt enjoy these tunes back then :P
baby, come back. baby you're a 10.
Disco Fo' Sho
Ummm, not quite! Lol!
Your big come back, baby your the champ

thanks Dan bell
Marie B .. naw im on my own mall soft hunt. THOUGH dan bell knows some good shit
All the way dan bell!
what video was it from
I wish I was alive in the 80s😫 But I was born in 2000
I was born in 1980 malls were the shit and in the 1990s as well.
A definitive vaporwave tune.
Put this at .75 speed around 1:00
Awesome elevator music just became even better
the early 90s in a nutshell.
picture this... it's the late 80s or early 90s you and your family
head to the mall while your mom is looking for outfits in Macy's
your teenage sister is hanging out with her friends and you try to
sneaking you way it to the toy store"s and the Arcades and get
back before mom finds out
A E S T H E T I C
