Let’s go to the mall in 1996

Waldenbooks

I remember using the yellow pages to call up ALL the waldenbooks and Borders in the DC area looking for the official Killer Instinct players guide that had all the fatalities and combo codes in it. That was the only way you could find out what inventory a store got

I was 15 in 96 and the mall was the place to be. Met so many girls just by hanging in the food court

Oh 96...

Good times.

The mall is where you would meet girls from other schools in the area. That shyt was a beautiful feeling when you see a pretty girl you never saw before and her crew sees your crew. I was usually the brave one to step up and start talking. Y’all had to exchange numbers and if she didn’t have a cell phone or beeper you had to call the crib. No asking for their IG or FB page where they got 10k other nikkas from across the planet trying to trick off.

bytches wasn’t wearing weaves like that.

No surgeries and fat transfers.

No caterpillar eyelashes and blond wigs.

If you told a bytch you worked at foot locker they didn’t laugh. Damn bytch I’m 17 I’m supposed to be the CEO of Blackrock? Foot Locker was a cool little job for high school college kid plus you got the latest shoes.

If you or anyone in the crew had a car any car you were winning.

Drugs weren’t prevalent. Some weed and people drank. Nobody was an open junkie like these kids now.

Homo shyt was kept behind doors. Nobody was non binary cross gendered. You didn’t have to worry about talking to a 17yr old that used to be a boy freshman year. Never happened.

You could scrap without shyt getting posted on social media.

90’s was GOAT!!!

80s and 90s definitely weren't drug free in New York, I talked to plenty of people who did coke or even heroin back then

 

[Cave Savage]

There are a few spots in New York called Barcade where you can drink and play 80s arcade games (that actually work)

These were better days

This my first time ever seeing a white person shop at payless. 3:28 mark

You didn't know white people shopped at Payless?

i was 10 years old in 96.

going to the mall to go to KB Toys store and Toys R Us was all i cared about back then

great times, bruhs. great times.

Nothing like looking at toys in real life compared to internet

Flip to the back of the toy and see other toys

 

[Poetical Poltergeist]

Malls were the hang out. Girls, Cd shops, movies, arcades and food courts. Great times.

Tell your mom to drop you at the mall at 3 on the weekend and be in that bytch till closing time

I was right up the street from King of Prussia too

 

[The Devil's Advocate]

Everytime I watch this type of videos, I wonder what's going on with the persons now. If they're doing good, bad, still kicking or if they kicked the bucket

If you were a freshman in 96, you about 40 now. These people look 30, they old as shyt. Wonder if some are still working there

Yup

I never said drug free. I said you didn’t have dudes openly being fiends like these internet rappers and their followers now.

Sipping sizzurp and popping pills wasn’t active.

It was 40’s and blunts.

Some people did coke.

Super Mario 64 at Toys 'R' Us

Playing Donkey Kong and other video game samples at the displays in Target.

Used to get that warning from Mom dukes before going in Target and Sears… “when we go in here, don’t disappear.”

I did it anyway.

Ass whipping was worth it.
