🎥 HOW TO MALLSOFT - TH-cam
The smell of cinnamon buns and buttery pretzels in the mall at the early hours where your one of the only ones there...pure magic
A few carrefour supermarkets in Belgium actually play vaporwave... no joke- I had a meltdown when I realised it while visiting family
Really i only hear mainstream modern crap when im there.
"makes you feel like your in an Asian spice department wanting to try something new for you and your loved one on this lovely Sunday evening." Gotta love your bizarre descriptions. Keep up the good work boi
Thanks Johnny!!
Somehow when I was a kid, I fantasized about having an entire grocery store for myself. Like, me owning it, living inside and being able to take whatever I wanted without having to pay. It was a specific store we had here, which was basically a grocery store that also had miscellaneous items for sale, kinda like Walmart does now. Back then, where I live (not in the US), this kind of store was pretty rare and sort of novel (we're speaking of back in like, 1997). Everytime my parents went there they'd allow me to roam around while they shopped for groceries (again, back in the 90s parents weren't as protective as they are today :P ) and I felt this kind of general comfort walking around the toy aisle. I remember they had a N64 station to try out games that were about to release/just released and that's where I played Majora's Mask for the first time! Got it the very next Christmas. Anyway, good stuff, will continue watching this series.
The thing that really draws me into these videos are to hear your mental images on the music you listen to. Too often the review of an album stays on the mechanics, but disregards the effect the music has. The ontology of music is personal, but I think talking about it is the most meaningful way of communicating about it. I love music theory, but if that is on the front and center, you might miss the bigger picture. Thanks Pad, really great video as always!
Yes Ellotus, thanks! I agree, music is arguably the most subjective thing to exist, obviously just one of the many children of art in general but with how much passion musicians and music fans have alike I think proper discussion will only influence eachother as a community and create more expansive stuff. Instead of ranting my opinions or only talking about the mechanical build up of certain albums, my goal is to discuss both and build my channel off of discussion in the comments. Interaction and communication is key in today's digitally crammed world :)
Palm mall by 猫 シ Corp is great too , it makes me want to travel a mall for hours and hours and maybe go to the food court section to just eat a hamburger at that nice McDonald's
bruh, best way to enjoy it
Albums like 'Yes! We're Open!' and PowerPC ME's 'Kmart 1989-1992' take me back to a different time, when Kmart and David Jones had restaurants, the NES and SMS had just come out and were blowing my young mind. Spending weekends with a group of friends, watching TMNT or Robocop or some other VHS rental from the local video store at one of our houses, after going to the local arcade and passing by the corner shop to stock up on mixed lollies and sugary treats, ready for a binge fest of hyped up jumping around the room during fight scenes, while we were filled to the eyeballs on chemicals we couldn't pronounce and candy made in Mexico. They take me back to a time I remember fondly, but ever more fleetingly. When consumerism was king and everything felt more 'real' than it does now. I think that's why I love vaporwave and futurefunk so much, is that while some people can feel the nostalgia, even though they were never there, hopefully without sounding like a 'back in my day', those of us that were around occasionally find tracks that make us overwhelmed, or even left feeling blindsided by waves of memories of a time that felt like it would never end and the sun would shine on us eternal. A time that felt like we were living in an 80's commercial. I am not ashamed to admit, sometimes it comes on so strong I find myself with a tear in my eye.

Your videos are great Pad, you have an awesome way with words and always seem to be able to bring forward the deepest meanings and feelings out of the music you talk about. Keep em coming!
Wow thanks for such an awesome response, you painted a picture pretty well there... Feeling like we were living in an 80s commercial. Going to blockbusters to play demos on those bulky ass N64 kiosks. I can smell it from here.
"while some people can feel the nostalgia, even though they were never there, hopefully without sounding like a 'back in my day', those of us that were around occasionally find tracks that make us overwhelmed, or even left feeling blindsided by waves of memories of a time that felt like it would never end and the sun would shine on us eternal"
Now someone needs to make a song about modern Kmart/Sears and name the album 'Sorry! Were Closed!'
I adore this. Vaporwave, the a e s t h e t i c s of the supermarket... it is all easily buried in my heart. [EDIT] If you are an artist of this genre, thank you.
I mean. You just GOTTA DO mall vaporwave
;)
its called mallsoft
Finally! A sub-genre that represents what being a grocery store cashier is like for me!
I love supermarketwave I miss the days of old where supermarkets played muzak which ironically enough got me into Jazz and in turn vaporwave. Thanks for another great video Pad.
Comrade Cthulhu Amusingly, the ones I go to now play 80s music. I find it interesting that some supermarkets do so, and in grocery chains that are still around since the 80s (both being in operation and somehow having that look they had back then), it just feels inviting to someone from that era.
For any British vaporwave creators, TESCO wave please?
Is that a British supermarket?
Tesco is a British supermarket, It's also a meme.
Soon, It shall become a *VAPORMEME*
muaahahaha world domination
No seriously if somebody can make an English style supermarket vaporwave album I will be eternally grateful! (Ps. Thanks Pad for the video, keep it up!)
U heard the man people get on it!
And thanks dude, much love!
You honestly deserve so many more views and subscribers--
Thanks Kat! I'm trying! As of right now I post on Reddit for the most part to advertise, not really sure where else to go. I also have a twitter and facebook but the channel is still early so don't really have too many followers there as well.
Hopefully the videos just keep spreading out to more and more peeps
Using coupon machines as checkpoints is so relatable to me I must now subscribe. 😫😤
We all felt like kings, swimming in coupons that we'd never even be able to use hahaha...its like those red coupon machines regenerated our health
The "Attention Kmart Choppers" record BUMPS, I love it.
thank you for compelling me to get back into vaporwave! thank you!
Happy to dust it off for ya! :)
+Pad Chennington what would be a cool maybe monthly series would be a Vaporwave Essentials list. Every month you give a few (or less) essential records that every Vapourhead MUST know
Definitely thinking about doing something like that! Also looking into starting a podcast/livestream where I would potentially discuss that during it so we'll see!
+Pad Chennington that would be a dream come true!
I'm a classical musician, and I have only ever connected with classical music, and for once I have found modern music I actually enjoy. I don't understand why, but I love vaporwave a lot.
The biggest example of how vaporwave and supermarkets/mall work well:
D A N B E L L
Honestly I could listen to your voice for hours.
Its funny we find this very normal for us but when outsiders see us they think were weirdos lol
"why are there so many statues?"
-Every friend I show the genre to
vaporware will go VERY mainstream one day, and well all sit back and laugh at how late they are.
The future is going to be old men wearing old meme merch while listening to vaporwave and I fucking love it.
If I'm not mistaken Club Claud covered/parodied various popular vaporwave and mallsoft albums, if not remade them better or similar. Just check the album covers and titles; they/he/she did a perfect job!
I'll always remember our old Walmart, it was connected to a small mall with various outlets and the entrance was lined with a bunch of VHS I remember getting our copy of Peter pan from there alot of good memories it's usually one of the places I think of when I feel nostoligc as well as a flea market the buildings are normally empty but with all the stalls set up it's like a odd new world that just stretches on and on, its where we picked up our first puppy, this video and the associated music just give me a relaxed mental trip through those locations when I was super young, also love your videos Pad thanks for getting me into Vinyls
I know this video is 2 years old but one of my favorite pastimes is walking through Walmart with noise cancelling headphones and a mall soft or general vapor mix playing. Alternative reality from the busy hustle and bustle of the work day
Marketwave should be the name for this
I fucking love this channel man. Keep up the awesome vids
Just started watching yesterday! Love these videos man! Keep it up! You have an intriguing view on Vaporwave.
Thanks James! Hope ya stick around, happy to have ya
Vaporwave reminds me more of the old 80's and 90's cartoon theme songs and soundtracks
I'm surprised no one has mentioned this yet, but there's literally an album called "Music for Supermarkets" by none other than Jean Michel Jarre. A vaporware album from the 80s (yes!) that played once on the radio then never again. For decades there's only been a low quality recording now available on TH-cam, but a small group did a very faithful remake though!
Hi Pad! I found your channel pretty recently and it's hard to miss the passion you poor into your content. I'm new to vaporwave and have been heavily interested in it, but never knew where to start. Because of you I've found a lot of new music to look into, and in a genre that invokes a new sense of awe to me, coming from an outsider looking in if you will. You're doing some damn good work my man, consider me a fan.
ayooo welcome aboard! and thanks dude, hope you stick around because your definitely gonna find some gems in this genre. enjoy!
Awesome as always. Amazing to see such an upstart put out so much good material quickly. Best part is the passion you ooze for the subject that makes me more passionate and driven to make vaporwave related content. Keep it up!
Thanks dude, and yes the reason why these videos are more fun to me than anything is that I get to really say whats on my mind and hear feedback/create a discussion with all of you.
I also appreciate the recommendations. I've played out my collection so much over the past year I am back into digging for new shit and you make it easy. Already gonna spend the rest of my night diving into groceries.
I wasn't even alive in the 80s so I can't "remember" those supermarket vibes. But vaporwave does bring me back to when my parents would play 80s american songs all day.
Very inspiring video. keep it up, Pad!
I have wandered around my local Wal-Mart at 2am listening to Yes, we're open, it was an almost religious experience.
When i was a kid i always looked forward to going to the supermarket hoping to get some candy or a toy my grandpa alway said the shopping mall was the best invention in his life time.

Bruv! I forgot about those coupon tickets!! I love your style man, thank you for your super intense reviews.

Live. Love. Be. Believe.
After watching this I checked out food court after hours and was blown away. You are the plug!
Yes dawg! It’s a great sounding album, never heard of it before making this video glad to get it out there to the public a little more
Geometric Lullaby is currently doing a vinyl pressing of Groceries' "Yes! We're Open" and "Housewares".
Now this is what I call vaporwave analysis. Great work!
thanks so much dude! :)
We totally need more supermarket V A P O R. And I second that Groceries Vinyl request!!
Ma dude, we all just tryna go shoppin!
I think Eyeliner would be a good pick as well with this type of vaporwave, especially with such tracks as Sneakers For Men and New Zealand
you deserve more subscribers
The coupon machines! 😂 holy fuck thats nostalgic
RIGHT?!
@@PadChennington glad to know im not the only kid that would grab every coupon I could 😂 love the channel, keep up the great content
micky baby u best believe I was walking out the grocery store w a pound of them coupons hahahahaha..,.and I will dude thanks for watching!
Have been listening to Yes We’re Open! since you talked about it last. It’s great. Going to have to check out Housewares now too! Thanks again for the recommendations man!
No prob Dustin! happy listening
I have a grocery store near me that reminds me of Yes! We’re Open
Hey all! The background music in this video is once again featuring one of our artists Hallmark '87! If you love the sound, we still have cassettes available for the album featured in this video! Check it out, fellow vaporwave lovers: nightlighttapes.bandcamp.com/album/landmarks
Yes everyone check em out!! ^^^
Much love NLT
Not sure if anybody has said it, but the "Welcome" in the beginning is from the Dog in Snowboard Kids on Nintendo 64.
Good video i like it
thank you friend :)
Also VAPYD's foodcourtfunk is a hidden gem
Food Court Classics is the best album. I honestly didn't think anyone else in the world loved this album like me
Yes! Definitely a solid piece, glad to hear you know about it!
Ｉ ｈａｖｅｎ’ｔ ｓｌｅｐｔ ｉｎ ｄａｙｓ
have u tried melatonin my friend
Pad Chennington I barely remember posting this lol
Definitely subbed though man, this was great
glad to hear my dude! excited to have ya
Ahh thank you for this 🍇🍈🍉🍊🍋🍌🍍🍐🍒🍅
Much love clarky, hope you got some great bargains and discounted poultry.
Finally something i begged vaporwave would touch.
W i n n - D i x e A s t h e t i c s
as i was raised for the first half of my life (2005 - 2012, age 0 - 7) in kowloon bay, ＭＡＲＫＥＴ ＰＬＡＣＥ ＢＹ ＪＯＨＮＳＯＮＳ ＷＡＶＥ ２０１１
For real tho groceries is the absolute shit haha. My favorite song on that album is lost in the freezer section. It explains my life completely. I'm glad I'm not the only one who likes this
Surprised you didn't mention PowerPCMe's Kmart 1989-1992 when talking about the Kmart tapes. IMO that was best release that sampled those tapes.
Ayyyy, I grew up with PathMark too! I always tried to play hopscotch with the tile floors.
Is it bad that I've never listened to Yes! We're Open before?
3:42
That's an air conditioner.
:)
imagine the music coming out of it
You need more subs
Im tryin! the more vids I make the more I'm sure Ill get so just gotta keep staying consistent
I had to stop after the first 10 seconds as I had to find out what track had sampled "Surrender Paradise" by Miami Sound Machine. It's the track "Dunes" by Hallmark '87, but it always throws me off when I recognise a sample in a vaporwave track.
I need some Buc-eeswave in my life. Also what is the track in the intro, it's a bop.
writing chops on fire pad
Holy Shit, Pathmark.
I Remember Pushing Around A Shopping Cart In Those 80s Aethsetetic Floors, And Buying Foods And Drinks That Are Probably Discontinued Now.
But Pathmark, Holy Shit, I Just About Freaked Out When You Mentioned It. All Over North Jersey, From What I Remember.
It's Funny, Even Though It Wasnt The Late 80s, (It Was The Early 2000s) They Still Kept The Floors From Back Then.
Corporate B l i s s .
Also, Yeah. I Remember The Red Coupon Things.
ahhhhh yes yes yes...east coast represent! nothing like the smell of path mark and gettin cold cuts...feels so long ago
Pad Chennington
Wow, Did You Ever Notice The Volume Of The Beeping Noise When You Scanned An Item Was Always Louder There...?
And The _Smell_ Of The Bread Corner. An Entire Section *Just For Bread..!*
It's Sad That Pathmark Went Under. Always Loved The _Hypnotic_ Sound Of The Man With The New Yorkern Accent Over The Loud Speaker.
And The Overly Cold Freezer Section. You Didnt Know Whether To Bring A Coat Or Short Sleeves.
Pad Chennington
I Actually Made A Pathmark Vaporwave Playlist A While Ago On My Channel If You Want To Check It Out. It Really Captures The "Feel" Of Pathmark Back Then.
Its Jam Packed With Works From Groceries And Other Things.
memories just came down like a ton of bricks. Last time that happened was when someone mentioned Caldor... and Service Merchandise!!
Link to kmart tapes..

Only the most patrician music.
Here's an old school album vaporwave artists should look into: "Rainforest" by Walter Wanderley

Pad Chennington also i think you should check out kmrt a another good track i think you should check out
3:39 i'm preeety sure that's an ac unit, great video, tho
lmfao I know, it was the closest thing I can find but hey maybe this supermarket is so aesthetic that they routed the speaker wire through an ac....not only does music come out but dust as well... what better could you want?
You should make a video where you are making a vaporwave song
What about Jean-Michel Jarre's "Music for Supermarkets"?
He's right. It's an album we can't afford to loose.
there's a vaporwave supermarket in koreatown los angeles
Emmanuel bb when we goin
Three60 wave for hong Kong aesthetics. Also bring back the weird aspect ratio pad
omg the og pad days where I didn't even know how to properly render
Pads supermarket boss is the banker on deal or no deal
Remember when Pad Chennington had 2K subscribers?

Um, they’re more known as Food Libraries.
The Soft Drinks single is missing.
Idk whether I want vapor and synthwave (etc) to go mainstream so everyone can enjoy or for it to stay niche and private
walmartwave
3:40 that's an air vent
lmfaoooo I know , ur boi gotta be cheeky everyone in a while ey
What’s the name of the song in the very beginning?
Can someone type in the name so i can copy/paste it into bandcamp?
Pall mall
Pall Mall Bart Cop 3
Do you know my life I grew up with vaporwave Aesthetics do you know the gender existed until now when I heard about that Meme about Macintosh Plus look more into it came out of my recommendations I've been hooked ever since funny enough I even work at a supermarket they should put music like this very soothing my scare some people cuz they don't understand the genre but it's a weird genre and I'm a weird guy so it fits
Where do you think vaporwaves at now in this year?
VAPORSTOCK is at an all time high...financial experts can't predict how high it can get.
Too bad the s o f t Drink album is removed :(
It's not a problem but why so much florral shop statue
Intro song?
I miss pathmark
Are you italian Pad?
Attention shoppers, the next vapor- subgenre is on its way.
th-cam.com/video/dDeipQWqJAQ/w-d-xo.html
Waddya say Pad, my boi?
Apparently it already is...forecasters say "CASINOWAVE" is taking over with extreme force. The smell of that casino carpet, red and green lights everywhere and the DING DING DING JACKPOT calling us from every corner.
1 of paper equals 4 of coin
Its no surprise what people want... CasinoWave goodness... Its our special treat
Let's go on aaaa.......tour
Why in the start You voice sound like the guys from " number 15 burger Kings feet"
You forgot about Supermarket 超級市場
