the mall

the mall, was a place, long ago, we would go to. See the young ones, will never know. stepping into a toys r us, or a macy's, seeing the aisles go forever. Going to see Santa, asking him for a gift for being so good. Maybe you weren't but, Santa couldn't be happier to give you one. Now it's a fading memory as online shopping and gentrification takes over

Black Mall

The intermediary stage between an active, vibrant mall and a dead mall. As a mall declines and the property value decreases, recognizable chain stores leave and niche black-owned businesses take over while half of the mall remains empty. Usually criminal incidents at the mall increase as well. The best thing at black malls are their food courts.
Man, it's so weird hearing about how Capitol Court was the place to be in the 60's and 70's. When I was growing up in the 90's, it was a black mall. And now, it doesn't even exist anymore. Such is life.

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!
