I miss the mystery of the 80s and 90s. You didn't know everything or have the ability to know everything like you do now. When you found out about something new, it was major. Being from a small rural town, fashion definitely hit us last. I remember when a kid moved into our town from California. He was wearing Santa Cruz shirts and Vans. That was totally new to us, we had never seen it. Nowadays, fashion is instantaneous and short-lived. When we played Zelda or Mario, you had to search for all the secrets yourself or find out from your buddies. Now all you have to do is search a YT walkthrough and you'll have the game beat that day. Mystery and unknown made life more exciting. My mother worked in a family-run video store all through the 80s and 90s. It was such a special place. There's nothing like browsing through the aisles and looking at the covers of tapes and wondering what that movie is about. Seeing all the movie posters on the walls and ceilings. I was scared to death of the horror aisle, those tapes were so scary! Plus the social aspect of it. Everyone rented tapes. Rich, poor, young, old....everybody. We knew everyone in town because of that store. Then Blockbuster killed that and then on-demand and streaming. It will never come back. Also, not being able to be reached or contacted at any moment was awesome. I miss those times but I love that it's in my memories. I had an awesome childhood.
Very well said, I have always thought that, especially as a kid. What made life exciting was the unknown, even when watching movies. I used to get the TV Guide every Sunday and be so excited about what great movies will be on TV this week and be looking forward to it all week. You couldn't just stream it or even know anything about the movie. I remember seeing Highlander on a Saturday night, reading the guide and the short blurb and seeing Connery in it and thinking, wow this sounds great! Then I would look forward to that unknown all week. Now... you know everything about everything instantly.
I think cell-phones were common from late 90's, with low-tech LCD screens:) Although every teenager or kid wouldn't have a phone like nowadays. But renting VHS tape was a special event. Have your friends around with popcorn and watch a scary movie. And off course play Nintendo connected to tube tv. In my case not a Super Nintendo, but original NES.
Man I miss the local Blockbuster and Hollywood Video stores. I discovered so much that I liked that way. Anime, action movies, even video games I had never otherwise heard of. And the neon glow of stores felt magical as a kid. Now everything feels so clean and harsh and sterile, instead of fun and inviting. I was a 90s kid, and I still had a lot of that mystery growing up without the internet. Not everything was perfect back then, but it felt calmer.
When Friday nights consisted of a Pizza, pop corn, soda and a couple of rentals from Blockbuster and it didn't cost month's salary either, haha good times.
I listen to this mix when I come home late and lie on my bed, in the darkness and the silence, and I reminisce. I remember all the bad, the alcohol, the drugs, the violence, the heartbreak, the trauma, but it also makes me remember all the good, my childhood friends, hanging out after school, having fun, the first girl I liked, my first girlfriend, sitting together on a hill above the city watching the sun go down, late night drives, walking in the rain. Takes me back to both the worst and the best days of my life
The good ol investing in bitcoin fantasy pops off but i would give all money without thinking twice to get this peaceful time again, don't get me wrong, life can still be super beautiful nowadays but yeah it's rough from time to time and back then without all the lessons it was more of an innocent life which was just super cozy in my memories :)
Many of us who lived in the 80's and 90's know how different and "better" daily life was compared to what we're living today. I heard a good quote recently that I felt was worth sharing... "In the moment, you don't realize you're living in the good ole days." If only we knew we would have cherished it more. However, twenty years from now, we may be saying the exact same thing about today.
The place to get VHS *before Blockbuster where I used to live was called Sights & Sounds. A weekend treat and pure joy to be allowed by my parents to pick a movie just for myself! I'm glad I got to live it. I'm also quite sad it's gone.
I can't quite put my finger on it, and I don't know how/why/what it is about it, but it certainly does throw me back into "those days" / times past. Such a nostalgic feeling.
The old Blockbuster in the town I grew up in is now a Chipotle/GenSushi/AT&T Wireless building... ha, the old rental stores were MASSIVE, it was a half hour event to go find a movie you were willing to take home. You read the cover, you looked at the actors and you asked the local video nerd what they thought - it was a process, and a social event to go rent a movie or two, or three.
I'm salty with Blockbuster because they pushed out all the mom and pop video stores in our town. My mom worked at one all through the 80s and 90s and it was impossible to compete with Blockbuster, especially in a small town.
lol with an amazon kiosk right next to it.. Now we must ask ourselves, if the picture is AI.. Is the music AI? And if so.. Was any of this real? Are we real? Is anything real? Yup.. Pass the blunt, bro.
@@gir489returns2 was gonna say, I see a 3rd gen Lexus RX and a BMW E92 3-series coupe; not sure about the one on the far right but the wheel design ain't from 1998. Only 90s car there is the Accord.

I grew up in the 80s. Thank you GOD, for letting me live during that era! I wish I could go back. I wish this generation could experience what the 80s were like.
I grew up in the 90s but experienced the skating rinks, the pizza hut golden age, playing the NES on a shag carpet in a room with wood paneling walls, played star wars at recess. It was thanks to the rural small towns holding on to the 80s vibe for one more decade than the rest
@@xRakanishu I experienced all of that in the 90s and grew up in the suburbs of a major city, so it was still alive and well. I think it lasted until 9/11, which many consider the end of the 90s culturally. Once we started being able to play Playstation and Xbox online, things started changing real fast
Listening while I write my psychological drama thriller screenplay. Yes, Stranger Things is a major influence. It’s about some teens who get trapped in a city that does not exist on any map. It all begins in September 1989. Filming will begin fall of 2025. Anyone want to star in the pilot episode? Acting experience required. However, we need a lot of background characters from 18-81. Can’t wait to launch this project!
I just found my 20+ year old blockbuster card when doing a little cleaning this afternoon... listening to this brings back all kinds of memories - all good too!!
Most people were still using VHS tapes in 1998. I have stuff like Lilo and Stitch, Spirited Away, Ice Age, and Garfield (2004) on VHS from when I was a kid so I'd say '98 is within the right time period.
I like the palm trees but I don’t think it goes with the store. Just my opinion. In some ways the palm trees feel like they’re supposed to be Miami and the store feels like it should be in a city. Just my thought. I like the cars though
Born in 1980 and lived through some of the most memorable time of my life. Looking back now. I really miss the the good ole days where people are just people. Minus the craziness (and the many new genders) we have today.
back to the 80s sounds like back to the 90s sounds like space jazz sounds like tokyo jazz sounds like surf wave on and on. its the same songs over and over and over again with no representation of the time period they say they represent. we are sheep
Vaporwave and all this branches from electronic music are great, but they never got to be a real genre amongst people because all this music always sounds the same, its the same slow upbeat motivational vibe with those washed synths in the background with a low pass filter and a plucky lead making a bouncy melody. This genre will never be more than that.

I would give much for being able to grow up in the 80-90's again knowing what I know now. I would have cherished the time more.

This right here…..born in 81 and feeling extra nostalgic lately.
Тут еще момент возраста. Тогда мы были моложе, активнее, и казалось все лучшее впереди. 😊
well since you know that now...appreciate where you are, while it's alive and before it's a memory
I can guarantee that if I'm alive in 20 years, I will not be saying that about today.
reminds me of a line I once heard in a movie: "You know, you're gonna miss this when it's just a memory."

Yep more like 2008 but 🤷
I like how this convenience store has a Redbox and an Amazon locker in front of it. Neither of which existed in 1998.
need to photoshop them into a soda machine and a couple of payphones ;D
first thing I noticed, way too tech advanced for '98. all of it.
The crossover SUV is a time traveler I guess.
Also a BMW 3 series from a few years ago.
Yea they could have worked on the details a bit.
I love that background!
This is FIRE

Awesome mix - it would be nice to have bookmarks with track names.
I wonder if my 5 (turning 6) year old daugter feels now about life, the same way I did back in 1995 when I was 5. sigh beautiful times.
playing this to the new tokyo xtreme racer game is a hell of a vibe
Every time I listen to one of these music sets, I remember amazing things that never happened and everyone was along for the ride.
Good! 🔥
Is this one of those I was testing you moments with the Amazon Locker and Redbox?

Maybe go back another 15 years for this type of feel.
yep, 1998 had another sound. This is more 85
I loved it my friend,New Sub 💗
My contribution to AI art is informing that there was no Redbox in 1998 👍
Great now I'm crying
this is so sick, I only wish you would tell us what key the pieces are in so we could jam along with our instruments :(
A true musician would hear he key and not need someone to tell you what it is... smh

Yeah they feel as if someone put a pillow over the music.
track name 17:11? wow... im flying
Now we don't enjoy the movies the way we do in 90s
its a good image, minus the the newer e90 bmw, and new cars
Love the vibe, but 98 wasn't anything like this. More 88 than 98
also I shared it to my following on facebook which is somewhat large af thanks or making great content
Sure it is... LOL
1998... the height of human civilization
Vhs didn't really represent 1998 it was already on to discs at that point. Itd be more an early 90s or prior
Most people were still using VHS tapes in 1998. I have stuff like Lilo and Stitch, Spirited Away, Ice Age, and Garfield (2004) on VHS from when I was a kid so I'd say '98 is within the right time period.
Looks more like VHS 1988.
what song is playing at 44:00 ?
Dang they had redbox in 1998?
this beat got me trippin
I was born in 1997 and so much I wish I had been born in 1987 instead, so my childhood would've been in the 1990s before social media take over.
What’s the song at 9:36?
Our greatest times are still AHEAD!!!!
Way too many ads in the video dude. Can't play 5 mins without an ad

You can make the same argument about Reggae.
how would you change it if you could?
It’s niche and that’s fine. Plenty of people enjoy it.
yes, thats what a genre is.
