    There’s this abandoned mall in my town that I guess, now that I think about it, is not completely abandoned. There’s a small section on the ground floor used for getting your permit and license. My family and I went one time while my brothers were getting their permit but it was taking forever so we all explored the mall. It was basically empty, most stores were chained up or just completely empty, and the only reason we could see was because there were these skyview windows, much like the ones in this picture of the video. We got to a booth and my mom said it was a hotdog shop and she worked there when she was a teenager. My dad even came by that shop every day to see my mom.She said back then, it was a super popular mall. We then went to this to this gaming room they used to go to with their friends every weekend and Friday night. The picture from this video looked so much like the mall I visited so it just reminded me of this. I’m glad to live in times now, but sometimes I wonder what it would be like to actually live in the 70s and 80s.

    I've really been getting into this type of stuff. I don't know why, but the eeriness of it just sucks me in. It's as if you're wandering through a place that no longer has a purpose except to simply exist, and you're constantly wondering if anyone is there, anyone at all, dangerous or not. But nobody ever comes. It just seems so morbidly enticing to enter an empty mall.

    This video is so satisfying. The eerie vibes and the picture of the mall matches the energy so well. It’s giving me the feeling of nostalgia that I’ve never experienced. I’m a person who loves the vibes of empty/abandoned restaurants and malls. This song is such a masterpiece, if it starts playing and I’m at a place like that alone,I feel like that’d be the best moment ever. It’s all so strangely calming, yet the anxiety never leaves that someone else is there. And the strange feeling of the mall looking so familiar.. can’t stop playing this video on loop.

At the time I was working weekend morning shifts and on the specific day that this event happened I had gotten high off pot and was browsing the /mu/ board on 4chan super late the day before. During the whole shift I was just out of it like crazy. When I had finally gotten off work I went to the storage area in the back which my coworkers and I treated as a break room kinda thing. I sat on the metal folding chair just doing whatever on my phone when I decided to rest my eyes and accidentally fell asleep. When I was awoken by the guy on the later shift it was 9 or something and just left. While I was walking out of the mall it was dead silent except for radios quietly playing Somebody that I Used to Know. Nothing too exciting but it won't be forgotten.

    This song was playing on the radio at work one night while my Dad was turning all the lights off, and also the radio. As he turned it off, the song went "But you didn't have to cut-"
    Me and another guy in the office laughed at the fitting timing. Apparently, my Dad never realised at the time.

It was the INTRO to “kiss me” by sixpence none the the richer. Those 10 seconds replay in my head forever now. 😢

    grew up in a town where a lot of stuff was just starting to really hit its “dying” phase at the time. the mall that looked basically dead like this had my karate class in it and was one of the last few things in there. I could hear the quiet music still playing in the hall if I focused on it enough. The smell of gym mats in my nose… used to go to this Kmart which was in a building with a long pointless empty hallway. Liked this dollar theatre that was always empty and had no working heater so mom always had me bring a soft blanket. It was condemned years later. It always smelt like an unfinished wet basement. The laundromat we went to had a kids area, a living room, a pool table and plain metal chairs/tables next to snack machines. Always weirdly vacant despite looking like it should’ve been occupied. I was about 7-8 having no idea what nostalgia was yet I felt that “chill” ALL the time. My parents and I used to have fables about mysterious creatures living in the “back” and out of sight in some of these places. I had a mild fixation on the idea of friendly ghosts, and I’ve loved the scent of wet basements and empty spaces ever since.

    In a beginning I thought this was kinda funny but by the end I started crying idk why, it made me so nostalgic. A lot of things have happened these years, I'm a little older now and my youth is not like it used to be, there's so much behind now, so many things I can't take back, so many people I used to love and I never got to see them again. I became really lonely these years and many of those friends probably don't even remember me anymore. So many moments that will be forgoten. I was so happy back then, I was smiling and making friends all the time. I can't understand why everything had to change so much. Now I can't stop crying. I was never a fan of this song really but certainly was part of an era, an era that I truly lived. I existed then, way more then I do now. How crazy it is to come up with these thoughts as I'm working my night shift rn. Good night people. See you in 10 years.

    POV: You are a ghost who had been killed recently due to your Ex’s inability to get over you and you eventually getting cut out abruptly and they was the only who could have saved you since they was the security.You were filled with vengeance and wanted to get to pay, even if you were in the after life. One day your ex comes after 4. It was your chance. As they walked through the mall, you started to sing the song as well as having lightbulbs blowing up as the song continued. Your Ex was terrified, and started to sing back to you, but to no avail. You were too far gone. As the song continued, pieces of the roof started crashing down. At the last line, one final pillar hit them.

    I guess I'm pretty lucky to live near a shopping center that has a mall there that's been built in the 60's. This shopping area is very popular and growing, ever since I've been going to this mall, there's just been a few empty stores, and in a year or two all these empty stores in the mall are filled in with modern businesses and stores, makes me happy to see a mall that's still alive that I can go to instead of shopping online or going to Walmart
