Do you mean like, where to hang out where they play Vaporwave music? I'm not aware of any.

Where do I hang out, unrelated to my music preferences? I spend a lot of time hiking through parks and nature preserves. I also go to game stores to play some card games/board games some times.

I lay on the leather couch in my basement, draw all the curtains, switch the room LEDs to pink & cyan and zone out. I'm a software dev who works at home half the time so I can completely zone out on my laptop while doing work as the hours creep by. At least for vaporwave/chill out time that is.

There is a kava/kratom place I'd go to where an employee would play Windows96 over the speakers and similar music. Met a handful of people into both vaporwave and old tech there.

For individual listening, I recommend morning and evening walks, and future funk if you're driving to the beach.

I really enjoy a particular mall. We have a bunch of them in the UK which are very aesthetic. I'll make a day of going to the mall one day with my mp3 player and dedicate it to you @xesxss, thanks for the idea.

Went to the mall yesterday and put on some music just walking about some of the stores with really expensive clothing. It was like being in an art gallery in a way. There was some fashion books as well and I got to see another perspective on how clothing has changerd throught the years. I saw girls trying on what are modern clothing is and I wondered what the historians would say about the clothes be wear now. It was more plain, it was close to something I guy would wear. The plainest clothes seemed more expensive even,up to 400$ I found out there is a hotel connected to the mall and I entered the secret life of the rich busniness people and there children. There was small shop in the hotel with an indeginous person working there. I wondered if he thought I was rich too. I wore my makeup like she had it in ergo proxy, only mine was blue. I also wore a delicate mask that draped down in a mesh fabric. The lobby was decadant, criss crossing escalators, faux leather couches and fake plants. I sat down aroudn a fake campfire and sipped on my redbull.

What's your outfit? I'm finding it hard to envision. You wore a mask in public? Like an eyemask or a surgical mask?

Your hotel holiday sounded good.

Are you me? I have the same kind of black hat and a similar black coat and brown hair also lol, no veil though although that's a really cool fashion idea. It's funny to imagine that everyone on this forum looks the same in real life.

I like walking around the dead malls and also enjoy walking around warehouse stores. I think there is a sense of the eternal post civilization world in a dying mall that a museum can't capture as the museum suggests the progression of time and the mall simply shows you the progression of time. I love going to convenience stores and getting cheap coffee, it makes me feel like I'm going out without any of the pressure of having to appear in any certain way and something feels unreal about them in an entertaining way. I don't listen to vaporwave as much as I used to, that sort of spanned out into electronic music in general of all sorts. Your writing of the mall as a museum makes me think of Baudrillard's America, he addressed things in a similar way although I have trouble with my attention span and his dense way of writing, in other words I read about half of it.

night walks for the tranquility and that auspicious feeling,
malls at quiet times for maximum nostalgia, botanical gardens or parks for natural aesthetic and random themetic worlds in VRchat, depending what vibe I'm after and all.

When I was at one of the top fashion stores they had some books lying around near the change rooms (probably for the bored boyfriends or husbands etc) I picked one of them up and read from start to end, it was about the history of modern fashion. Quite an interesting journey. There was another book beside it that had a bunch of web punk imagery and pattern that was very vaporwave like. One of the page was an entire spread of this Y2K keyboard with a windowed gltich effect. I left it out open on the table like that. I wonder who might have seen it after I left, if it caused a Stiring of the thoughts as it did for me.
