  • We're going back to 90s with talk shows, news reports, PSAs and a whole lot more. Whether you remember or not, enjoy the calming aesthetics.
    Sleepcore is a curated collection of videos centred around a theme, intended to replicate the experience of late night channel surfing. The content presented is dated, not boring, but slow. This is media as a sleep aid.
    I do not own any of the clips presented. Credit to the copyright holders and thanks to the original uploaders.

    Is it just we are were movies and TV shows a lot warmer back in the 80s and 90s? The pacing was slower and the colors were warmer. It seems more holistic and pure, almost like a 'welcome home' feeling. I miss that

    So I'm not the only one who comes back to these videos!! I miss the way things were, as simple and not as stressing as times are now, I know it's called getting older but then people tend to forget about things that were and move on from simple things

    I dont want to lose the beautiful aesthetics of the 70s, 80s, 90s, and 2000s to history. Each decade of the 20th century, and the first of the 21st, gave us a distinct, beautiful aesthetic to appreciate. Only in the 2010s on did people decide that to be "clever" they had to go with a lack of aesthetic, as the aesthetic.

      My boy, you're living through it and thus, seeing it through the apathy lens of living thorough it. In 15 - 20 years, you'll look back to the 2010s and 2020s in just as much nostalgia.

    I'd almost forgotten about "Y2K" and the mass panic it produced as the "world held its breath" (and NOTHING happened). Then 9-11 came along, when we weren't ready. . .

    That would be like reliving the 1990s all over again. That would be amazing!!!

    That "K-Mart Solutions" system is like proto-Amazon, except in the store (which would've probably been necessary given overall net connectivity at the time). They could've migrated it directly to the Internet once broadband became widely available, and maybe they wouldn't have been utterly obliterated by Walmart and Amazon.

    Lots of interesting show titles in that public access programming lineup at the end. I am most intrigued by "That Which Is With John Rogers" ... it sounds like the title of a Lovecraftian short story ... you don't want to know about the thing accompanying John Rogers everywhere he goes! He can't get rid of it!

    I absolutely love this channel and I thought I was alone in my love of the 90s aesthetic. To he honest, I loved the 1990s. I see some of the shows and TV commercials from the 90s here on TH-cam and I see that it was such great time in my life. Thank you for the content on your channel.
    I find that the content from the 50s and 60s very relaxing but I find I perk up when I see 90s content.
    Thank you and keep up the good work.

    This is genius, I've been falling asleep to this particular video for weeks.

    Really enjoy this concept of "media as sleep aid", specially the curator's sensibility. Perfect ending. I've had insomnia for many years... This is different to other stuff I've used before.
    If I may only suggest to add some compression to the audio to prevent volume spikes, they can interrupt the process of falling to sleep sometimes... For example at 10:45
    10/10 love this.
