The $15 Theory

The theory that charging your friends $15 to hangout with you is moral and socially acceptable.

Often the theory is used when you irresponsibly buy something unreasonably expensive, then find an excuse to make your friends pay for it through indirectly using it.
"Hey guys, I bought this new console, so every time you guys come hangout and use it, I'll need you to pay $15. It's only fair!"
"I know you're spending the night, so have you ever heard of the $15 theory? Yeah, I'll need you to pay me $15 to sleep on my new couch."

dead mall theory

Dead Mall Theory posits a multifaceted critique of modern
consumerism and the evolving landscape of digital and
physical spaces. Drawing inspiration from the eerie aesthetic
of the Backrooms and the nostalgic satire of vaporwave
Micro-culture, it explores the decline of traditional malls
as emblematic of broader societal shifts.
At its core, Dead Mall Theory echoes the sentiment of the
Dead Internet Theory, suggesting that just as malls become
"dead" when anchor stores vanish, online spaces are
increasingly dominated by bots and AI-generated content,
displacing genuine human interaction and agency. This
convergence reflects the erosion of authentic connection
and the commodification of both physical and virtual
environments under the pressures of mass production and
consumer capitalism.
Furthermore, Dead Mall Theory incorporates critiques of
materialism highlighting the societal consequences of
prioritizing acquisition and consumption over meaningful
experiences and relationships. Recent events have
accelerated these trends, pushing more people towards
virtual engagement and rendering certain physical spaces
obsolete. What will thenext generation be lacking as a result?
In essence, Dead Mall Theory serves as a commentary on the
intersection of economics, technology, and culture,
illustrating how the decline of malls mirrors broader shifts
in societal values and the evolving nature of public spaces
in the digital age.
The arcade is gone and i'm the only one in the foodcourt, Dead Mall Theory is in full effect here!

person 2: hey, you think someone lost their virginity here?

person 1: yeah, given Breezy’s Location Theory, most likely at least one person has
