sears was believed to be sabotaged and bought up by its former CEO eddie lampert, and he almost screwed people out of their pension. toysrus was bought out by a company that took on more debt than they could handle. kmart just didnt innovate/keep up with the times or theyd be like target. idk about the others but so many of these companies could have been fine with the right management
@@naty_froggyIronically, that's not true. Toys R US became too expensive to warrant going. It was a place just for kids to chill and try everything out. But then their prices skyrocketed to reflect the economy around it and it collapsed.
@@IssanCaliRefugee Good call on purchasing that title - that game was hard AF! There was no way you could master it on a 2-night rental like we tried.
Thank you so much for the praise. This track is one of my all-time favorites as well. I'm inspired to make an extended mix for you and all the people who love "replaying it."
I literally took sax classes in elementary because I love the sax in these department store songs lol. I feel so blessed to be born in a time where this vibe could be imprinted on me at a young age 😎
@@IRLVaporwave Yeah, I definitely like the extended mix. I mean, that elevator is going way up…up through the sky…maybe up into space, but it’s OK man, I’m just enjoying the music, so it’s cool. Or hey, maybe it’s a cave elevator, and it’s a long ride down… Hey, though, no worries, here’s something to listen to on the way down…
So we used to have a SEARS at our local mall, it was pretty sick lol Unfortunately, mall life has died down even more than it was in the early 2010's, so.
The era of middle-class retail, when a TGI Fridays was on every corner with a Famous Dave's less than 10 minutes from it, Toy's R Us was still in business and thriving, and you could get a Build-a-Bear after convincing your parents to stomach the exorbitant price😂😂❤
11:40 Life in the 90s also gives me "Huge Wonder" Redd Kross, 1994 (from Phaseshifter) vibes. I highly recommend giving it a listen. I may use that for a vaporwave track too.
The more I listen to this, the more genius I realize it is. The flow is perfect. Reminds me of listening to outside album by bowie. One song after another feels like story.
@@IRLVaporwave yeah the best one is track 4 to 5. Track 4 is much like the Leon take us outside and track 5 is like outside song from Bowie’s outside. Track 4 is deep. It makes you feel like you are time traveling.
@@IRLVaporwave sorry I was making a comment mostly because the guitar or that instrument that repeats is like the guitar in the song. And when I listened I was like this sounds very familiar . That was all I could think of.
Recently streamed this mix, it's lit. Like, playing in my car all the time. Literally every track is great. If i'm not mistaken, these are real "classic" Vaporwave tracks? Aside from the subgenres- i mean in the sense that these are almost all sounding quite as commercial/mall music (and almost all as 80s specific). A few tracks though in this mix are somewhat 'timeless' by Vaporwave standards - they 'fit' in both 80s and 90s (an accomplishment in itself, and i really love those kind of tracks). The ' ' are placed here because of the fact that Vaporwave once *started* as an somehow ironic mere *reflection* of 80s and 90s low key music, rather than a one on one *copy* of that, well not immediately, but quite soon after the beginnings of VW. So, again, in short my question is: could these songs could be considered classic VW, am i right?
Yes, yes, you are right about it all! Vaporwave is open to interpretation, but your take is pretty spot on. The mix is comprised of Mallsoft with classic vaporwave sprinkled in between. By the way, this is the longest comment I have ever received on one of my videos, Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a detailed assessment. More good content coming out. Stay tuned!

Sears, KMart, RadioShack, ToysRus.... the end of an era
A sad day when they all closed down
Don't forget blockbuster
Fun fact: RadioShack went on to thrive in other countries. Latin America for example.

Everyone get in the station wagon, we're going to Sears Roebuck.
Totally rad! I hope they have a Super Nintendo in-store game set up!
Sears is where I bought my first swatch and my x-wing fighter..the best of times
Niiice. Did that Sears catalogue get you?
Sears is where I picked up Ninja Gaiden for NES in '89.

11:34 Never thought I'd hear Buster Bunny on a Vaporwave playlist! Glad to be surprised! 😆
"ΔKTR - Life in the 90's" is the chillest track and one of my favorites!
This is one of my favorite repeated playlist.
Thank you! What are your favorite tracks?
Same

Something about the saxophone in "club med '87" just hits me where I live. I keep replaying it. Thank you for this stellar mix, absolutely perfect. Xx
I first found it on soundcloud a few weeks ago and I absolutely love it too. It's the saxophoness
Thank you so much for the praise. This track is one of my all-time favorites as well.

club med is a banger.

I usually don't like Sax but I have to make a big exception for in-genre examples like Club Med. Godly stuff.
25:27 Hits hard out of nowhere!
really wakes you up!

Yap - SEARS had a sick appliance section. No doubt.
Currently shopping for furniture in Taipei with this on. Perfect.

If ads with vhs tracking for summer sales had a sound track, this would be it
great imagination - well said!

yes he DID!

As of the date of this comment, there are only 11 Sears and 2 Kmarts left in the whole of the United States.
