/ˈmɔ l ˌwɔ kərz/
1. A term for old geezers who use shopping malls as a walking track, often seen as aimless or out of place by younger mall-goers.

Mall Fatigue

When, after the massive amount of time spent in a mall for the holidays, people shop at any location, even if it is a location with worse customer service, provided it is a standalone store.
I would go visit those guys at the Verizon Kiosk in the mall, since they're more knowledgeable in their products, but this mall fatigue is killing me. I'll just go to that other store.

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.
I love walking along these halls, such a calming atmosphere but this place isn't making money so dead mall theory is in full effect. I have memories of playing in this spot at the arcade as a kid. Now the movie theatre is gone and the food court is half empty.
