In the mid 90s, my dad would take me to a local motel where he'd slip the guy at the desk $20 to let us swim in the pool and those are my happiest memories. Driving in his old red mercury with the sun roof open, listening to his sick mix cds, on the way to the motel in my Lion King swimsuit. That was 25 years ago but he's still the coolest dad in the world.
Nostalgia Storytime! So, I'm the youngest of many siblings. In the late 90s, my brothers and sisters either all lived with their dad or on their own, while I was the only one living with my mom in the city. Every couple months or so, my siblings would visit, and I would get super excited. I remember this one time around Christmas 1999, all my siblings, aunts, uncles, and cousins visited for a few days and my mom rented two connecting family rooms at the coolest hotel in our city. It had three pools, two waterslides, an arcade, and a bunch of other fun things. I was only 4 at the time, but I remember this experience so vividly. We had McDonalds and Pizza Hut basically everyday, ran around the halls and played hide n seek, made a train on the waterslide, played ocarina of time on the nintendo 64, and a ton of other stuff. It's funny how the title of this video brought back these memories. They would have been lost forever if not for this video. So thank you for that.
My brother died 29 years ago in a citric acid explosion at an Orange Julius that destroyed the Payless Shoes next door. We buried him in a closed casket due to the Velcro damage. He would’ve loved this. Thank you.
As a kid, I remember laying on the floor, looking towards the window as the soft long white curtains were blowing inwards, with a light breeze grazing my face. The sun was shining outside, as its light sepia toned color poured into the room. My mother walked by in a white nightgown, smiles at me and walks away as I still lay on the floor, looking towards the window. I felt so calm, so relaxed and so blissful. 😊❤️
This is going to sound so weird, I don't even know why I'm posting it. When I was in maybe the 2nd or 3rd of Junior School, so around 1991-92, we did swimming lessons at a modernised art deco swimming pool. I remember going every day for two weeks, and being in the locker room at the end of swimming talking with my friends about Sonic the Hedgehog and our Megadrives, brainstorming this whole idea for a game based on Rugrats (we obviously had no idea how to make a game, we were 8...), which came on TV every morning I think. Making plans to go round each other's houses and play Golden Axe and Road Rash... You had to leave via the pool so I remember walking back out of the locker room one day and as I was about two thirds of the way across the width of the pool, this light from the upper windows just sort of hit a little ripple of water in the pool and made this weird dancing movement. And I remember thinking, even back then, as an 8 year old, that I was going to remember that moment for the rest of my life. I have no idea why - it was such a pointless, meaningless, anonymous moment. No part of it held any greater meaning or larger significance for me. I was just a kid, walking back round the pool to get to the bus that took us back to school. But, I'm about to turn 38, and every few weeks that moment still pops back up in my head. Just a silly little moment I saw the light dance around the light blue waters in this little training pool. I really think I am going to remember that periodically for the rest of my entire existence. Listening to this music, and seeing the image, I got real strong memories about it again. A moment when the world seemed big and bright and full of opportunity. And I'm not some pessimistic mope with rose tinted glasses - I still dig my life and I still get excited about the world we live in. But the road ahead of you is long when you're 8, and the whole world is a fascinating, infinite playground.
I really enjoyed reading your memory ~ I know exactly what you mean ..... you dont have the weight of the world on your shoulders at that age .. and we miss that as adults. I turned 30 this year and was born in 1991 ~ it's strange but I wish I could go back to that time to relive that feeling.
Similar but laying in the grass looking up at the sun through a tree thinking I'm probably the only one who would ever see the light at this angle. It felt like a personal treasure.
In 1993, to save money, my father who had to travel for work for meetings, would take me and my family on his business trips as family vacations. Quite often, I would spend alot of time at hotel pools. Back then, I knew it wouldn't last forever, and to enjoy my time there. I can't go back to those times except in memory. This video helps me though. It brings me back to those times. Thank you. Thank you so much.
This bring back memories of: 1) 79 cent gas 2) Tape cassets 3) $1 Whoppers 4) 50 cent Twix 5) Talking about Fresh Prince in school... 6) When field trips were highly anticipated! 7) Rumors of CD players. More awesome memories will come!

Never had a chance to experience this as a kid (very strict + poor immigrant parents). Thank you for allowing me to experience something I wish I had as a child now, as an adult. It's never too late to pursue joy, no matter how big or small it may be.
@@RetroPlayerOne I caught the vibe, hard. My life goal is buy a house and build a pool like this. It's been two years and the vibe ain't going away. The poolroom will be heated so I can sit in a chair all day listening to vaporwave not being stressed out in my soul sucking nightmare of a job in the world's smallest cubicle. If someone calls me offering a job, or for anything other than to chill, I'll throw my phone in the garbage then continue doing nothing. Might get an oceanside condo and give it 80s decor as well. Life isn't meant to be miserable, good vibes existed once. Time to bring them back.
Man, all my memories of the 90's have such a bright neon-like nostalgic glow. This is a rare "ambience" that actually captures this feeling perfectly. So hard to describe unless you were there.
Its true everything was bright and futuristic lol from McDonalds to Burger king and Blockbuster to the cloths and MTV shows and" classic" commercials ...I miss it a bit.
Nothing will recapture that feeling of hope we had between the cold war and the war on terror. Songs on the radio were positive, the colors and patterns were vibrant, computers were new and exciting to everyone, the internet was just an abstract concept and social media hadn't toxified our discourse, Caprisun was still turning children into sentient quicksilver, and the McRib was available at every McD location. Good times.
I came back to this video and saw your comment and was about to like it and saw that I already did haha - I totally agree with your comment I am SO glad I lived that era even the slightest memories feel so amazing :')
this give's old almost abandoned hotel pool vibes. it's still in perfect condition, but it's just a bit far away from the main attraction of the city. no screaming kids, few couples here and there, and an abandoned arcade down the hall blaring DDR and big buck hunter
I feel this. Though my one memory of a place like this actually had a Custom Robot arcade machine which was pretty dope. Not gonna lie, played that a couple hours or so.
It's giving me feelings of wistful nostalgia for not only an era that I wasn't alive during (94 baby here), but a place I'm not sure I've ever been to. Hotel pools do give a strange vibe tho, especially when you're the only one there.
The comments sections of these chillwave (and similar) playlists are one of my favorite places to immerse myself. Wholesome nostalgia and mellow human kindness. It's like everyone collectively decided to eat a pot brownie and turn the meanness volume down. Thanks for creating this space where I will now float timelessly for an indeterminate amount of time.
It's the best. I feel like if anyone and everyone smoked a joint and put on any vaporwave mix, we'd inevitable find common ground with our enemies. Life can be simple, and here's the remedy.
@@sappy2075 i feel sorry for you, but after all, all the 80s happy life in the west was just propaganda. Things went very quick down in the 90s and early 2k.
Nostalgia Storytime! So, I'm the youngest of many siblings.

I have similar memories of such times. I will forever cherish those experiences, but it's weird... somehow I feel robbed by the knowledge that we will never get that time period back
Summer 1993 ... nothing too special, almost every weekend at the mall, as an only child I got mostly whatever I wanted because I had straight A’s & kept my room clean , those days in the arcade playing Skee-Ball, the Whack-a-mole game & Pac man... then back home to ride my bike & watch Disney & Nickelodeon/ Snick ... those were the days . I miss how the malls looked in the 80’s & early 90’s 🖤
Are you okay? You hit your head on the side of the pool pretty bad. Work? Pandemic? What are you talking about? Come on mom is taking us to get ice cream after swimming we can play Super Mario 6 Golden Coins in the car on the way there
I was born in 1993 and I just vividly recall the mid/late 90s being exactly like this aesthetic. Seeing photos of the 80s/90s architectural and design aesthetics feels so far away yet so familiar. I suppose what draws me to these modern day appreciations of this aesthetic is because it not only feels nostalgic, but almost unbelievable to think "I lived in this kind of world before?"
You just described what i feel last night. Being born in 93, grasping the shreds of the 80s and holding on to the memories you picked up in the 90s 🥺 those were beautiful years.
Born in 87 and there's definitely some memories I have of neon glowing signs in stores, pastel colored walls and sharp angled font...now probably all long abandoned and standing in dark long shuttered buildings..
When current times feel so hard and hopeless, that listening to 90's stock royalty mall elevator-esque music to feel like we are in a more secure comfortable era of modern consumerism once again, has actually become a popular thing here. Woah, did I just say that? Ouch, I'm being cynical AF right now. But at least I'm imagining myself in these swimming pools and I gotta say, it's nice in here.
There is a comfort to be had in the 90's, and you definitely hit why. You knew there was plenty, it was available to you, and everyone around you seemed to have plenty as well. Maybe it's a combination of childhood lack of awareness and the 90's being exactly that snapshot of consumerism without the guilt about it that came in later decades. I learned something reading this, so thanks.
I think my soul is crying haha. I think you're right on point with this! I was born in 92 and my mom has worked maintenance at the same mall since before I was born, and I remember it being a bit like this and other 80's/90's mall aesthetic videos. Looking back on it now, it definitely feels a lot warmer and confier than today.
@@roguespartan2854 isekai light novels are a genre of books in japan. isekai means "different world" or "from another world", and light novels are basically the equivalent of young adult novels in america (not a particularly difficult read, but has more adult themes like violence and romance). a lot of isekai novels have titles like "i accidentally died and woke up as a dragon!" or other kind of descriptive sentences, which is where adam's joke comes in.
Omg the second I clicked onto this video I was like .... wait a minute.... I'm sure this is ..... zelda¿ that wouldnt have been out yet? Omg tho was I happy to hear it ~ like bringing the cognitive part of my childhood back to the earlier part of my childhood I'd forgotten being born in 1991 xD
I get a total 90s weather channel flashback from this. I can see this playing while it shows the radar across the country and Oklahoma always being a tornado warning but the music is so cheery 😂
@@BuriedFlame ha, u just wish i was *flame* so i might allow u to play baby doll dress up to then hip hop and drop down to your knees and talk to big daddy .
Early 90s still had some 80s holdover. A lot of places that adopted this aesthetic in the 1980s would’ve kept it for at least a few years into the 1990s. Most of them were probably remodeled to make them bland and generic in the 2000s. I am not looking forward to nostalgia for anything from this century.
I remember being 5 in summer of ‘93 and pops took us on a vacation to Puerto Vallarta and staying in a Sheraton Hotel. My most distinct memory is going to the indoor pool that looked almost like this except with dark blue marble tile and plants/ferns decorated everywhere, with elevator/lounge music playing in the background. Love this aesthetic
Ah, the fresh scent of chlorine and slightly abandoned feel bc the other guests don't have kids and are either in their rooms or in the dining room having lunch/dinner. At one point in our lives, my family and I "lived" in a hotel after coming back from overseas. This was the early 2000's tho.
@@legalfictionnaturalfact3969 Ah, my dad was already retired military in the mid/late 90's. We've only lived overseas once when he was still active. The second time was bc he got a job there.
It's spring. You rest poolside, the pure reflective, azure water lapping against gritty decorative tile - a hypnotic lullaby. The frogs are singing. The flowers are blooming. New life appears from seemingly nowhere. The clouds and sky overhead are clear, endless. You breathe in the refreshing breeze of a new season. You are free.
A matrix if you will.. humanity isolated/divided physically, having a mental state of dichotomous assessment like A.I. while simultaneously being globally connected to everyone and everything. Were not making it to 2030.
I could tell at the time that it was a special time. Would record things off the TV for the “future generations”. Watching MTV witing down names of songs so I can find them somehow in the future.
I was born in 1993 and sadly I cant remember much of the ‘90s but somehow I can still feel the atmosphere inside me. One of my dearest memories is of the time when I was kid in elementary school, writing the date of my notebook 1999. This memory I will hold forever. Thank you for the awesome mixes
When neighborhood kids used to play outside instead of staying inside on video games. I remember our neighborhood having huge block parties and neighborhood wide squirt gun fights. You don't see that kind of stuff anymore.

Was just @ a nice hotel with just the wife & we played this on my Bluetooth speaker cuz we were the only ones in there. Thank you. I was 13 in 93 & she was 14. We use to ride the bus together in middle school. We married when I was 18 & we’ve been together ever since.
I love this mix even though it's about an American experience. I mean, in 1993 in my country a hotel pool was considered a luxury and I've never been to one then.
I remember the mall in the 90s having those “neon green” “neon pink” colors at the “snack bars” “Orange Julius” KB Toys, Sbarro Pizza Foot Locker,back when it looked like a basketball court
17:12 I've always loved Bananarama's Cruel Summer. So I have this one on repeat. Nice to hear it vaporwaved. Gives it a new spin and a different dimension, sonically.
It’s 1993, and you're gliding through the water of an indoor hotel pool. The warm, humid air fills the space, with soft echoes of splashing reverberating off the tile walls. Born in 1970, you’re 23 and on the cusp of something new. Fluorescent lights cast a dim glow across the pool, reflecting off the water’s surface in rhythmic patterns as you float, staring up at the glass ceiling above. Outside, rain taps gently against the windows, but inside, it's calm and quiet-your own sanctuary. You’ve been traveling for work or maybe taking a break from the chaos of city life, but this moment is yours. The world feels fast-paced, with the boom of new technology on the horizon, but here, it’s just you and the stillness of the water. Your thoughts drift-about what’s next, about the job prospects you’ve been considering, or maybe the places you still want to see before settling into something more permanent. The early 90s have a kind of electric energy, but right now, you feel detached from it, savoring the rare solitude in a bustling world. The air smells faintly of chlorine, and the quiet hum of the hotel’s heating system fills the space. You close your eyes and sink a little deeper into the water, letting everything else fade away for a while.
this will never be noticed by the creator as this comment section has near 1,500 comments as i write this - but this mix made me cry. i miss my 2020 and 2021 summer when i still had my old friends, when i was in a better place. these songs brought back memories of my old friend group that has since fallen apart because we have parted ways, but this genuinely made me happy. it triggered a certain memory where we all just talked at our local beach and ate the wendy's just up the block from the coast and shoved each other underwater. those were fun days - now it's just repetitive schedules, exams, and projects. i really needed this. thank you, retro player one, even if i can't relive the memories i want back so badly, at least thinking of them makes my day a bit better.
Thanks for the comment mars lee - reading this makes me want to appreciate the times I have now because you don’t know you’re living in the good times until you look back and realize you were.
Places where you can still find this vibe in 2022: 1. Lobbies of certain office buildings in NYC's Financial District 2. The last Aladdin's Castle in Quincy, IL 3. Cherry Creek Mall in Denver, CO
I was born in 1992 but when I think about 80s I’m feeling so nostalgic.. don’t know why and can’t explain this feeling. I love the aesthetics, the style, the music.. and indeed I’m listen 80s everyday and sometimes try to dress like I’m in the 80s, but when I walk in the street I notice everyone is dressing so boring or with a totally new style and this make me sad.. my mom made me listen all these beautiful song and I’m often watching her pictures from old days. I live in japan (born in Italy) and I’m pretending I’m living the 80s, always trying something that reminde this beautiful period 🤩
I'm like you. But I have this fascination for the 2000s. Makes sense since I was born in 2004, but I was too young to experience the world at that time. There's just a few things I remember.
Welcome to my world as a person who was born in the 80s era that was still alive in 1991 XD you have that 80s vibe because 1992 was the last year that the 80s culture ended one starting the 90s era in 1993, you have those vibes because you yourself are 80s born from the culture as the 80s did not end in 1989, the timeline did but not the culture as the 80s was such a popular era it lasted up until 1992 😂
Im from latin amarica, and I never had seen a pool like these one, but for some reason in my dreams I have been in some, multiple times, I never imagined that they were real.
Amazing job collecting these vaporwave songs and combining them together for such a wonderful theme. This really is making me give vaporwave a real chance, instead of the memes
Videos like this and other 80s/90's mall aesthetic videos make me so overwhelmed and overcome with emotions that I absolutely can not explain. I was born in 1992 so I grew up with this kind of stuff. I wore all those clashy colors, the sweatpants, turtlenecks, windbreaker jackets, scrunchies, you name it! But something about this music just... breaks my heart??? I don't know what it is. I miss those days a hell of a whole lot, sure, but at least I can say I experienced them, right? Maybe it's because the majority of the music in here is smooth jazz and I grew up listening to smooth jazz with my mom. I've come to associate smooth jazz with her and a lot of the songs that played when I was little have a ton of memories tied to them, and not even significant memories either, just... general memories of existing in the 90's. Like one other person said in the comments here, maybe it's just childhood naivete and having no cares or things to worry about, but everything felt safe, warmer, comfier, and more free. This makes my soul miss it more than ever, honestly. It's like a deeper homesickness. There's a Portuguese word that perfrctly describes thisfeeling, saudade. I don't mean to try to sound deep, but that's how I'm genuinely feeling. It really hits that hard, especially hearing all these familiar tunes. Aight, imma go cry now ✌
I was also born in 1992 (my birthday is this Friday, May 28th!) and I used to listen to jazz with my mom as well. Your comment resonated with me and made me want to reply. I feel the same exact way, something about this kind of music makes my heart break for this time that has long since been gone. It’s amazing that we can relive those old feelings through music like this, but I don’t think it’ll ever compare to actually living during that time period. I’m glad I’m not the only one who feels this way 💚
Good comment. Two continue off your point of how this breaks your heart I think there’s a lot of factors come into play here I think we need to consider the fact that a lot of the world has changed obviously… And also things are not aesthetically is pleasing as they used to be… We might have more technology but it doesn’t make up for the fact that COVID-19 lockdowns and they just feel more apart and separate and isolated… Music is not the way it used to be… Commercialism is not the way used to be… but the question is why do we all associate this with something we’ve seen before when we clearly haven’t and I think I found the answer… I think it has to do with the fact that somewhere in the deep chasms of our minds we all experience something vaguely similar and we all knew what the 90s were and we were all collectively feeling at five globally in west civilization while that might be a stretch, Do you know that you’ve seen malls that used to have Palm trees and neon lights but you might not be able to place your finger on when you saw it because you forgot where it was and honestly it doesn’t even matter you didn’t see it at one point. Because it really did look like this to some degree although vaporwave is just playing off of your emotions because it’s just an overly saturated reality of what the 90s really were. So in conclusion there is really both rose-colored glasses and actual nostalgia being trimmed down the narrow throat of our of our minds processors and we overload and feel nostalgic and sad that its gone.
this is the kinda vaporwave imagery I live for. I was born in '96 so I don't even really remember the 90s (my memory starts at like, age 5 or 6 I think) but sometimes these things are oddly nostalgic. maybe it's trauma, maybe I just really like 90s aesthetics I haven't lived for whatever reason? who knows. all I know is vibes
I’m kinda the same way. Earliest memories I have are commercials and music videos my parents would play. That and I remember being in Kindergarten and we all wore T-shirts that said ‘year 2000’
I was born in 89 and have some really vague memories from about 3 onwards, and because they're so vague they almost feel like that non-corporeal fever dream feeling that vaporwave evokes. Nothing hits my subconscious like 1992-1996 aesthetics 😩
This aesthetic is really from the 80’s. 90’s aesthetic moved into more Grungy dark industrial with the popularization of electronic and bands like nirvana. Stores with sterile white tiles and extremely short carpet Mimicking liminal spaces. Bright vibrant colors were just not matching the overall nihilism the 90’s brought. There were definitely hold overs. Like old McDonald’s or malls. But they were past there glory days and that’s could be felt as you got into the mid 90’s.
I was born in '90 and this beautiful music takes me back to when I was bout 6 or 7, growing up(grew up in a poor neighborhood of south philly). Takes me back to those early Saturday mornings, after cartoons, me, my lil bro, and mom would go visit my great aunt. Every other week, we'd all go to the mall and my aunt would always let me and my bro get one thing we wanted from the Kmart that was adjacent to the mall. Just walking thru the mall, seeing all the kiosks, photo booths, etc made me excited every time like it was the 1st time. The last thing she brought for me before my great aunt passed, was a clear purple Gameboy color. Brings happy little tears from the memories, when I hear this.....Sorry for the long post. Here's a Cookie. 🍪

Nostalgia Storytime!
So, I'm the youngest of many siblings. In the late 90s, my brothers and sisters either all lived with their dad or on their own, while I was the only one living with my mom in the city. Every couple months or so, my siblings would visit, and I would get super excited. I remember this one time around Christmas 1999, all my siblings, aunts, uncles, and cousins visited for a few days and my mom rented two connecting family rooms at the coolest hotel in our city. It had three pools, two waterslides, an arcade, and a bunch of other fun things. I was only 4 at the time, but I remember this experience so vividly. We had McDonalds and Pizza Hut basically everyday, ran around the halls and played hide n seek, made a train on the waterslide, played ocarina of time on the nintendo 64, and a ton of other stuff.
It's funny how the title of this video brought back these memories. They would have been lost forever if not for this video. So thank you for that.

"Your Local Weather On The 8's....Current Conditions....7 Day Outlook..."
This guy gets it.
I love it
''Regional forecasts.''
Local on the 8s was my fave
A weather channel reference really?
As a kid, I remember laying on the floor, looking towards the window as the soft long white curtains were blowing inwards, with a light breeze grazing my face. The sun was shining outside, as its light sepia toned color poured into the room. My mother walked by in a white nightgown, smiles at me and walks away as I still lay on the floor, looking towards the window. I felt so calm, so relaxed and so blissful. 😊❤️
Thanks for sharing! Very well worded. Described perfectly!
cringe
I remember acting like a cat and drinking milk and making little picnic with my brothers indoors while watching the cooking channel
Yeah I love weed too, and your mom was *SO HOT* in that nightgown! Good times for all of us!
I remember something like that too
This is going to sound so weird, I don't even know why I'm posting it. When I was in maybe the 2nd or 3rd of Junior School, so around 1991-92, we did swimming lessons at a modernised art deco swimming pool. I remember going every day for two weeks, and being in the locker room at the end of swimming talking with my friends about Sonic the Hedgehog and our Megadrives, brainstorming this whole idea for a game based on Rugrats (we obviously had no idea how to make a game, we were 8...), which came on TV every morning I think. Making plans to go round each other's houses and play Golden Axe and Road Rash...
You had to leave via the pool so I remember walking back out of the locker room one day and as I was about two thirds of the way across the width of the pool, this light from the upper windows just sort of hit a little ripple of water in the pool and made this weird dancing movement. And I remember thinking, even back then, as an 8 year old, that I was going to remember that moment for the rest of my life. I have no idea why - it was such a pointless, meaningless, anonymous moment. No part of it held any greater meaning or larger significance for me. I was just a kid, walking back round the pool to get to the bus that took us back to school.
But, I'm about to turn 38, and every few weeks that moment still pops back up in my head. Just a silly little moment I saw the light dance around the light blue waters in this little training pool. I really think I am going to remember that periodically for the rest of my entire existence.
Listening to this music, and seeing the image, I got real strong memories about it again. A moment when the world seemed big and bright and full of opportunity. And I'm not some pessimistic mope with rose tinted glasses - I still dig my life and I still get excited about the world we live in. But the road ahead of you is long when you're 8, and the whole world is a fascinating, infinite playground.
I loved reading your comment and sharing in your memory. I has a similar experience as a child and just like you it revisits very often. X
I really enjoyed reading your memory ~ I know exactly what you mean ..... you dont have the weight of the world on your shoulders at that age .. and we miss that as adults. I turned 30 this year and was born in 1991 ~ it's strange but I wish I could go back to that time to relive that feeling.
I really liked reading your comment
I feel like I just read literature.
Similar but laying in the grass looking up at the sun through a tree thinking I'm probably the only one who would ever see the light at this angle. It felt like a personal treasure.
In 1993, to save money, my father who had to travel for work for meetings, would take me and my family on his business trips as family vacations. Quite often, I would spend alot of time at hotel pools. Back then, I knew it wouldn't last forever, and to enjoy my time there.
I can't go back to those times except in memory. This video helps me though. It brings me back to those times.
Thank you. Thank you so much.
Dang, a memory I wish I could experience. Thx for sharing.

Never had a chance to experience this as a kid (very strict + poor immigrant parents). Thank you for allowing me to experience something I wish I had as a child now, as an adult. It's never too late to pursue joy, no matter how big or small it may be.
That's what I was going for - trying to help people catch a vibe with this video. I'm very glad you enjoyed it!
@@RetroPlayerOne keep bringin' the good vibes 🌴🌆🍨
@@RetroPlayerOne I caught the vibe, hard. My life goal is buy a house and build a pool like this. It's been two years and the vibe ain't going away.
The poolroom will be heated so I can sit in a chair all day listening to vaporwave not being stressed out in my soul sucking nightmare of a job in the world's smallest cubicle. If someone calls me offering a job, or for anything other than to chill, I'll throw my phone in the garbage then continue doing nothing. Might get an oceanside condo and give it 80s decor as well.
Life isn't meant to be miserable, good vibes existed once. Time to bring them back.
Man, all my memories of the 90's have such a bright neon-like nostalgic glow. This is a rare "ambience" that actually captures this feeling perfectly. So hard to describe unless you were there.
Described perfectly, thanks for sharing!
Its true everything was bright and futuristic lol from McDonalds to Burger king and Blockbuster to the cloths and MTV shows and" classic" commercials ...I miss it a bit.
It's the same with me, but with the 2000s. My happiest childhood memories look a bit ...brighter? Idk, hehe.
Nothing will recapture that feeling of hope we had between the cold war and the war on terror. Songs on the radio were positive, the colors and patterns were vibrant, computers were new and exciting to everyone, the internet was just an abstract concept and social media hadn't toxified our discourse, Caprisun was still turning children into sentient quicksilver, and the McRib was available at every McD location. Good times.
I came back to this video and saw your comment and was about to like it and saw that I already did haha - I totally agree with your comment I am SO glad I lived that era even the slightest memories feel so amazing :')
this give's old almost abandoned hotel pool vibes. it's still in perfect condition, but it's just a bit far away from the main attraction of the city. no screaming kids, few couples here and there, and an abandoned arcade down the hall blaring DDR and big buck hunter
It’s after hours and the pool is closed. We’re not even supposed to be here, I hope security doesn’t walk in.
I feel this. Though my one memory of a place like this actually had a Custom Robot arcade machine which was pretty dope. Not gonna lie, played that a couple hours or so.
yes
It's giving me feelings of wistful nostalgia for not only an era that I wasn't alive during (94 baby here), but a place I'm not sure I've ever been to. Hotel pools do give a strange vibe tho, especially when you're the only one there.
this, this, this, *THIS*!!!
The comments sections of these chillwave (and similar) playlists are one of my favorite places to immerse myself. Wholesome nostalgia and mellow human kindness. It's like everyone collectively decided to eat a pot brownie and turn the meanness volume down. Thanks for creating this space where I will now float timelessly for an indeterminate amount of time.
You fucking captured my thought here, while im floating through this comment section.
It's the best. I feel like if anyone and everyone smoked a joint and put on any vaporwave mix, we'd inevitable find common ground with our enemies. Life can be simple, and here's the remedy.

Nostalgia Storytime!
So, I'm the youngest of many siblings. In the late 90s, my brothers and sisters either all lived with their dad or on their own, while I was the only one living with my mom in the city. Every couple months or so, my siblings would visit, and I would get super excited. I remember this one time around Christmas 1999, all my siblings, aunts, uncles, and cousins visited for a few days and my mom rented two connecting family rooms at the coolest hotel in our city. It had three pools, two waterslides, an arcade, and a bunch of other fun things. I was only 4 at the time, but I remember this experience so vividly. We had McDonalds and Pizza Hut basically everyday, ran around the halls and played hide n seek, made a train on the waterslide, played ocarina of time on the nintendo 64, and a ton of other stuff.
It's funny how the title of this video brought back these memories. They would have been lost forever if not for this video. So thank you for that.
Yooo that's awesome
sounds like a dream come true 🏩
I have similar memories of such times. I will forever cherish those experiences, but it's weird... somehow I feel robbed by the knowledge that we will never get that time period back
Damn. Sounds expensive.
*+(Memory Unlocked!)*
Summer 1993 ... nothing too special, almost every weekend at the mall, as an only child I got mostly whatever I wanted because I had straight A’s & kept my room clean , those days in the arcade playing Skee-Ball, the Whack-a-mole game & Pac man... then back home to ride my bike & watch Disney & Nickelodeon/ Snick ... those were the days . I miss how the malls looked in the 80’s & early 90’s 🖤
I swam in a lot of different pools in 1993, but none of them looked this dope.
Are you okay? You hit your head on the side of the pool pretty bad. Work? Pandemic? What are you talking about? Come on mom is taking us to get ice cream after swimming we can play Super Mario 6 Golden Coins in the car on the way there
Haha love this comment
Something about this comment is scary.
my earliest memory is being at a hotel pool with my grandparents when my sister was born. 1994.
I was born in 1993 and I just vividly recall the mid/late 90s being exactly like this aesthetic. Seeing photos of the 80s/90s architectural and design aesthetics feels so far away yet so familiar. I suppose what draws me to these modern day appreciations of this aesthetic is because it not only feels nostalgic, but almost unbelievable to think "I lived in this kind of world before?"
You just described what i feel last night. Being born in 93, grasping the shreds of the 80s and holding on to the memories you picked up in the 90s 🥺 those were beautiful years.
Born in 87 and there's definitely some memories I have of neon glowing signs in stores, pastel colored walls and sharp angled font...now probably all long abandoned and standing in dark long shuttered buildings..
we 90s kids be from a different world
i was born in 2000 and i honestly recall seeing a lot of architecture and design like this until 2004-ish
fellow 93 here, word.
When current times feel so hard and hopeless, that listening to 90's stock royalty mall elevator-esque music to feel like we are in a more secure comfortable era of modern consumerism once again, has actually become a popular thing here. Woah, did I just say that? Ouch, I'm being cynical AF right now. But at least I'm imagining myself in these swimming pools and I gotta say, it's nice in here.
There is a comfort to be had in the 90's, and you definitely hit why.
You knew there was plenty, it was available to you, and everyone around you seemed to have plenty as well. Maybe it's a combination of childhood lack of awareness and the 90's being exactly that snapshot of consumerism without the guilt about it that came in later decades.
I learned something reading this, so thanks.
I think my soul is crying haha. I think you're right on point with this! I was born in 92 and my mom has worked maintenance at the same mall since before I was born, and I remember it being a bit like this and other 80's/90's mall aesthetic videos. Looking back on it now, it definitely feels a lot warmer and confier than today.
Omg yes!!!
well I'm a 2000's kid and I just like this kind of music. It's not that deep for many
Wow you hit the nail on the head!
“Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened”
No decade after the 90s feels like it has its own identity. Everything since then feels like an extension of the latter half of the decade.
So true man
Do you miss the Detroit Vipers? #Viperwave

"It’s 1993 and you’re in a hotel pool". That's my favorite isekai Light Novel series.
💯💯💯
@@roguespartan2854 isekai light novels are a genre of books in japan. isekai means "different world" or "from another world", and light novels are basically the equivalent of young adult novels in america (not a particularly difficult read, but has more adult themes like violence and romance). a lot of isekai novels have titles like "i accidentally died and woke up as a dragon!" or other kind of descriptive sentences, which is where adam's joke comes in.
Also read: „It´s 1997 and you are watching power rangers on a scratchy carpet floor“
Hahaha omfg it totally DOES sound like an iseaki series name 😂
Source? Of this "novel" of course.
It's 1993 and Ocarina of Time won't be out for another 5 years but we're gonna jam to it anyway
haha
I was wondering when I was gonna find a comment that mentioned the Zelda music
Came here looking for this
Omg the second I clicked onto this video I was like .... wait a minute.... I'm sure this is ..... zelda¿ that wouldnt have been out yet? Omg tho was I happy to hear it ~ like bringing the cognitive part of my childhood back to the earlier part of my childhood I'd forgotten being born in 1991 xD
Ocarina of Time kinda sucked
I get a total 90s weather channel flashback from this. I can see this playing while it shows the radar across the country and Oklahoma always being a tornado warning but the music is so cheery 😂
☝️💯
Omg yes. Totally forgot how jazzy weather channels used to be
Having grown up in Oklahoma since the early 90's, this is all too relatable.
In 1993 I was 16 years old. Funnily enough, I got a job looking after a hotel pool like this one. I would often go for a dip after work.

I just feel that there needed to be a column of glass blocks to really hit a homerun on the early 90's vibe.
Moved to tears from the nostalgic vibes. 1993 I was a junior in HS. I wish I could relive it sometimes.
Same, beautiful, same. I would do so much differently. I suppose. I'm happy with what I got. I suppose. :)
In 93 I was a senior in college...just imagine the fun you experienced, but turn the volume up to 11. Yeah. Good times, good times.
Why isnt the world still like this? Life was so good back then. The calm, the pastel colours, and no pressure of modern life.
Why do the 90's comfort me so much? It's like I'm back in my Health class trailer in middle school watching outdated education videos :'^)
Right! I also find the 80s comforting and nostalgic even tho I never grow up in those times.
That sounds like the opposite of comforting.
Haha, I remember seeing a launch SNES commercial on a video from sex ed class in late 2005 (7th grade).

I’m not sure why this is characterized as 90s when this is absolutely 80s music through and through.
Early 90s still had some 80s holdover. A lot of places that adopted this aesthetic in the 1980s would’ve kept it for at least a few years into the 1990s. Most of them were probably remodeled to make them bland and generic in the 2000s. I am not looking forward to nostalgia for anything from this century.
culture doesn't stop and change on a dime the day the year turns to 1990, every decade has crossover.
Everyone has down syndrome
1993 may be too late, but this style was still pretty common in 1990-1992. Though it has an early 90's New Age tinge to it.
A lot of smooth jazz and adult contemporary music was much slower to change with the turn of the decade than other genres especially rock.
I remember being 5 in summer of ‘93 and pops took us on a vacation to Puerto Vallarta and staying in a Sheraton Hotel. My most distinct memory is going to the indoor pool that looked almost like this except with dark blue marble tile and plants/ferns decorated everywhere, with elevator/lounge music playing in the background. Love this aesthetic
Now that is a vibe! I wonder if that place is still around...
Lovely story. And yes, what a fab aesthetic
This is more 1983 than 1993, but still love the mix!
Split the difference and make it 1988.
💯
I was born in '93. I swear I've had dreams about a place like this. I love vaporwave so much.
Late 80s and early 90s were a magical time..
That pink wall paint screams 90’s
Ah, the fresh scent of chlorine and slightly abandoned feel bc the other guests don't have kids and are either in their rooms or in the dining room having lunch/dinner. At one point in our lives, my family and I "lived" in a hotel after coming back from overseas. This was the early 2000's tho.
It seemed like hotels like this just never really updated their looks. I love it though. Great description☝️
military?
@@legalfictionnaturalfact3969 Ah, my dad was already retired military in the mid/late 90's. We've only lived overseas once when he was still active. The second time was bc he got a job there.
@@kUr0k0chan called it. sorry to hear that garbage was in your family. sad shit.
@@legalfictionnaturalfact3969 What do you mean? His job wasn't military related back then. He was a technician and mechanic...
It's spring. You rest poolside, the pure reflective, azure water lapping against gritty decorative tile - a hypnotic lullaby.
The frogs are singing. The flowers are blooming. New life appears from seemingly nowhere. The clouds and sky overhead are clear, endless. You breathe in the refreshing breeze of a new season. You are free.
I see "frogs are singing" and instantly think:
_"HELLO MY BABY HELLO MY HONEY HELLO MY RAGTIME GAAAAL...."_
I farted almost the whole time reading that. Now my chair is wet.

I'm glad we were born in a generation where we could all commemorate our childhood memories on the internet.
A matrix if you will.. humanity isolated/divided physically, having a mental state of dichotomous assessment like A.I. while simultaneously being globally connected to everyone and everything. Were not making it to 2030.
Where I'm from the imagery and music here is, very definitely, reminiscent of the '80s, not the '90s.
That's what makes it awesome, mind you. 😊
This is why I live in the 2020s. To relive my 1990s' childhood. 🥰🎼😜
I could tell at the time that it was a special time. Would record things off the TV for the “future generations”.
Watching MTV witing down names of songs so I can find them somehow in the future.
This playlist is as if reminding me to not to work too hard, sit down & pause whenever I feel overwhelmed
Only if we all took the time to pause, kick back and be present. Thanks for sharing your insight!
Very chill an relaxing sound, I love it🥰
I was born in 1993 and sadly I cant remember much of the ‘90s but somehow I can still feel the atmosphere inside me.
One of my dearest memories is of the time when I was kid in elementary school, writing the date of my notebook 1999.
This memory I will hold forever.
Thank you for the awesome mixes
The 90s were awesome. The peak of human technology before the internet became an every day part of our lives for most people.
When neighborhood kids used to play outside instead of staying inside on video games. I remember our neighborhood having huge block parties and neighborhood wide squirt gun fights. You don't see that kind of stuff anymore.
The bright colors were more mid to late 80's. If you saw this in '93, the hotel was in need of a remodel. By the early 90's it was all drab tones.
@Justin Hugo Why anything 🤷♀️
Doesn’t that fit though? Most hotels wouldn’t renovate immediately. Many 80’s hotels still resembled the 1970’s.
2001 was a good year for 90’s hotels.
@Justin Hugo the rise of grunge
Can't be having the same decor you had 8 years ago!
False. Have you watched saved by the bell or any shows from the early 90s? Neon colors where everywhere. Change started happening around 94
The second song reminds me of the music The Weather Channel would play
I'm crying while reading these stories. I wish I got to experience the 60's, 70's, 80's, or 90's :'(

It’s 1993 and you’re in a hotel pool and you got a time machine because Zelda OoT came out 1998 and it's the first track of the video :D
All made possible by the Song of Time lol!
THATS WHAT I WAS THINKING TOO
@@RetroPlayerOne I bought that Polygon Dream - Zeldawave album from him on Bandcamp shortly after it came out. The whole thing is great.
Was wondering where the fuck I heard that song
Was just @ a nice hotel with just the wife & we played this on my Bluetooth speaker cuz we were the only ones in there. Thank you. I was 13 in 93 & she was 14. We use to ride the bus together in middle school. We married when I was 18 & we’ve been together ever since.
What I mean is we played this @ the pool
I love this mix even though it's about an American experience. I mean, in 1993 in my country a hotel pool was considered a luxury and I've never been to one then.
This is much more 1986 than 1993. 1993 was gangsta-rap, hip-hop, Grunge and Alt-Rock
That is not an aesthetic that mainstream East Coast beachfront hotels like the ones I remember from this era would have adopted.
I’m glad vaporwave is coming back! Remember back in like 2019 when it disappeared
I love this. It sounds nostalgic, but I don’t have that 1990s nostalgia so it doesn’t make me cry. I can actually enjoy this without feeling sad. 👍
Nostalgia isn't sad xd
1993 is vintage. 😳😳😳
Vice City scort club
I remember the mall in the 90s having those “neon green” “neon pink” colors at the “snack bars” “Orange Julius” KB Toys, Sbarro Pizza Foot Locker,back when it looked like a basketball court
Petros chili bowl
I would be more likely to be at Camelot music, Suncoast video, or Waldenbooks.
17:12 I've always loved Bananarama's Cruel Summer. So I have this one on repeat. Nice to hear it vaporwaved. Gives it a new spin and a different dimension, sonically.
I was born in 93 and holy fuck do I feel taken back to a time where I was a naive kid enjoying life in the 90s
Same age here but I remember nothing about 90s, sadly
Or Miami Vice 80's
All BS aside, this looks like my old gym pool. Not so much the colors, but definitely the layout.
It’s 1993, and you're gliding through the water of an indoor hotel pool. The warm, humid air fills the space, with soft echoes of splashing reverberating off the tile walls. Born in 1970, you’re 23 and on the cusp of something new. Fluorescent lights cast a dim glow across the pool, reflecting off the water’s surface in rhythmic patterns as you float, staring up at the glass ceiling above. Outside, rain taps gently against the windows, but inside, it's calm and quiet-your own sanctuary.
You’ve been traveling for work or maybe taking a break from the chaos of city life, but this moment is yours. The world feels fast-paced, with the boom of new technology on the horizon, but here, it’s just you and the stillness of the water. Your thoughts drift-about what’s next, about the job prospects you’ve been considering, or maybe the places you still want to see before settling into something more permanent. The early 90s have a kind of electric energy, but right now, you feel detached from it, savoring the rare solitude in a bustling world.
The air smells faintly of chlorine, and the quiet hum of the hotel’s heating system fills the space. You close your eyes and sink a little deeper into the water, letting everything else fade away for a while.
This reminds me of waking up on Saturday mornings to watch cartoons, followed by Saved By The Bell, and then California Dreams.
This is really one of the best Vaporwave mixes I've ever heard. more like this please!! ☺️☺️
That means a lot fam, thanks for the comment! I'm going to do a pt.2 to this mix down the road. It got great reception!
@@RetroPlayerOne The immersive visuals really make it
yep its astonishing
I used to imagine indoor pools like this one when I was a kid.
This is still my dream.
1993 didn’t look like this anywhere, this is what the 80s looked like. I know because I was there…
this will never be noticed by the creator as this comment section has near 1,500 comments as i write this - but this mix made me cry. i miss my 2020 and 2021 summer when i still had my old friends, when i was in a better place. these songs brought back memories of my old friend group that has since fallen apart because we have parted ways, but this genuinely made me happy. it triggered a certain memory where we all just talked at our local beach and ate the wendy's just up the block from the coast and shoved each other underwater. those were fun days - now it's just repetitive schedules, exams, and projects. i really needed this. thank you, retro player one, even if i can't relive the memories i want back so badly, at least thinking of them makes my day a bit better.
Thanks for the comment mars lee - reading this makes me want to appreciate the times I have now because you don’t know you’re living in the good times until you look back and realize you were.
Places where you can still find this vibe in 2022:
1. Lobbies of certain office buildings in NYC's Financial District
2. The last Aladdin's Castle in Quincy, IL
3. Cherry Creek Mall in Denver, CO
Everything in '93 was still around in the late 90s, when I was actually a kid then. :)
Same!
Barely, because a lot of the late 80s was still bleeding into the early 90s
I was prepared for 90s nostalgia, but I was NOT prepared for this to open with a remix of Sheik's Serenade of Water theme holyyyyyy
I was born in 1992 but when I think about 80s I’m feeling so nostalgic.. don’t know why and can’t explain this feeling. I love the aesthetics, the style, the music.. and indeed I’m listen 80s everyday and sometimes try to dress like I’m in the 80s, but when I walk in the street I notice everyone is dressing so boring or with a totally new style and this make me sad.. my mom made me listen all these beautiful song and I’m often watching her pictures from old days. I live in japan (born in Italy) and I’m pretending I’m living the 80s, always trying something that reminde this beautiful period 🤩
80s and the 90s had alot in common compared to the 2000’s onward.
Seems like a lot of people were just born at the wrong time
I'm like you. But I have this fascination for the 2000s. Makes sense since I was born in 2004, but I was too young to experience the world at that time. There's just a few things I remember.
Welcome to my world as a person who was born in the 80s era that was still alive in 1991 XD you have that 80s vibe because 1992 was the last year that the 80s culture ended one starting the 90s era in 1993, you have those vibes because you yourself are 80s born from the culture as the 80s did not end in 1989, the timeline did but not the culture as the 80s was such a popular era it lasted up until 1992 😂
Im from latin amarica, and I never had seen a pool like these one, but for some reason in my dreams I have been in some, multiple times, I never imagined that they were real.
Tomorrow I'm going to see Jurassic Park in theaters.
You’ll love it. I hear there’s a preview for that new *Flintstones* movie with the dad from *Roseanne* at the beginning of it.
Amazing job collecting these vaporwave songs and combining them together for such a wonderful theme. This really is making me give vaporwave a real chance, instead of the memes
My soul needed a dip. That was more refreshing than Vick's vapor rub, thank you kindly music man 🏊♂️
Videos like this and other 80s/90's mall aesthetic videos make me so overwhelmed and overcome with emotions that I absolutely can not explain. I was born in 1992 so I grew up with this kind of stuff. I wore all those clashy colors, the sweatpants, turtlenecks, windbreaker jackets, scrunchies, you name it! But something about this music just... breaks my heart??? I don't know what it is. I miss those days a hell of a whole lot, sure, but at least I can say I experienced them, right?
Maybe it's because the majority of the music in here is smooth jazz and I grew up listening to smooth jazz with my mom. I've come to associate smooth jazz with her and a lot of the songs that played when I was little have a ton of memories tied to them, and not even significant memories either, just... general memories of existing in the 90's. Like one other person said in the comments here, maybe it's just childhood naivete and having no cares or things to worry about, but everything felt safe, warmer, comfier, and more free. This makes my soul miss it more than ever, honestly. It's like a deeper homesickness. There's a Portuguese word that perfrctly describes thisfeeling, saudade.
I don't mean to try to sound deep, but that's how I'm genuinely feeling. It really hits that hard, especially hearing all these familiar tunes. Aight, imma go cry now ✌
saudade. good word, thanks. and you described the way i feel when i look at certain stuffed animals. probably same reason.
I have the same feeling .. I wish nowadays was still the same from 80s. So much nostalgia even if I’m born in 1992
I know how you feel. It hurts
I was also born in 1992 (my birthday is this Friday, May 28th!) and I used to listen to jazz with my mom as well. Your comment resonated with me and made me want to reply. I feel the same exact way, something about this kind of music makes my heart break for this time that has long since been gone. It’s amazing that we can relive those old feelings through music like this, but I don’t think it’ll ever compare to actually living during that time period. I’m glad I’m not the only one who feels this way 💚
Good comment. Two continue off your point of how this breaks your heart I think there’s a lot of factors come into play here I think we need to consider the fact that a lot of the world has changed obviously… And also things are not aesthetically is pleasing as they used to be… We might have more technology but it doesn’t make up for the fact that COVID-19 lockdowns and they just feel more apart and separate and isolated… Music is not the way it used to be… Commercialism is not the way used to be… but the question is why do we all associate this with something we’ve seen before when we clearly haven’t and I think I found the answer… I think it has to do with the fact that somewhere in the deep chasms of our minds we all experience something vaguely similar and we all knew what the 90s were and we were all collectively feeling at five globally in west civilization while that might be a stretch, Do you know that you’ve seen malls that used to have Palm trees and neon lights but you might not be able to place your finger on when you saw it because you forgot where it was and honestly it doesn’t even matter you didn’t see it at one point. Because it really did look like this to some degree although vaporwave is just playing off of your emotions because it’s just an overly saturated reality of what the 90s really were. So in conclusion there is really both rose-colored glasses and actual nostalgia being trimmed down the narrow throat of our of our minds processors and we overload and feel nostalgic and sad that its gone.
this is more late 80's than anything
Yea, but only we know that. It's cool though.
Agree
Mid to late 80's actually. The uploader and most of the commenters reveal they were never really there.
Yeah.. who create this video must be a young person guess .. this is from 80s
Yeah, this is the 80s. The 90s is more akin to the Y2K futurism aesthetic.
Hey, here is the funniest and the saddest corner of music on UA-cam.
this is the kinda vaporwave imagery I live for. I was born in '96 so I don't even really remember the 90s (my memory starts at like, age 5 or 6 I think) but sometimes these things are oddly nostalgic. maybe it's trauma, maybe I just really like 90s aesthetics I haven't lived for whatever reason? who knows. all I know is vibes
I’m kinda the same way. Earliest memories I have are commercials and music videos my parents would play. That and I remember being in Kindergarten and we all wore T-shirts that said ‘year 2000’
I was born in 89 and have some really vague memories from about 3 onwards, and because they're so vague they almost feel like that non-corporeal fever dream feeling that vaporwave evokes. Nothing hits my subconscious like 1992-1996 aesthetics 😩
This aesthetic is really from the 80’s. 90’s aesthetic moved into more Grungy dark industrial with the popularization of electronic and bands like nirvana.
Stores with sterile white tiles and extremely short carpet Mimicking liminal spaces.
Bright vibrant colors were just not matching the overall nihilism the 90’s brought.
There were definitely hold overs. Like old McDonald’s or malls. But they were past there glory days and that’s could be felt as you got into the mid 90’s.

I was born in '90 and this beautiful music takes me back to when I was bout 6 or 7, growing up(grew up in a poor neighborhood of south philly). Takes me back to those early Saturday mornings, after cartoons, me, my lil bro, and mom would go visit my great aunt. Every other week, we'd all go to the mall and my aunt would always let me and my bro get one thing we wanted from the Kmart that was adjacent to the mall. Just walking thru the mall, seeing all the kiosks, photo booths, etc made me excited every time like it was the 1st time. The last thing she brought for me before my great aunt passed, was a clear purple Gameboy color. Brings happy little tears from the memories, when I hear this.....Sorry for the long post. Here's a Cookie. 🍪
Hahah thanks for the post fam! I appreciate the cookie!
Hey...I'm from Philly too! Born and raised.
