the process of someone becoming more valuable/famous after death; generally on social media
also known as dead cred
this guy got a lot of dead clout when the news of his death hit
A meme that involves the death of your creator/mother

-That's why yo mama dead
Pre-dead is when you’re going through something atrocious, or have an injury but your friends/family don’t take you seriously. Treating others with less atrocious actions better, and making you do more than others even though they know you’re dying to.
Medications to PRE-DEAD: caring
I wish my family & friends cared about my pre-dead disorder.
That unfortunate group of city dwellers, who were sleeping no more than 5 minutes ago, who are now going to move their cars because of alternate side parking rules. See also: The Driving Dead-those same individuals who now circle the block incessantly as they search for the hard to find spot.
I woke this mornng to join the legions of the Parking Dead.

Someone: "Oh God the dead air pressure is high!"
Dead Mall Theory posits a multifaceted critique of modern consumerism and the evolving landscape of digital and physical spaces. Drawing inspiration from the eerie aesthetic of the Backrooms and the nostalgic satire of vaporwave Micro-culture, it explores the decline of traditional malls as emblematic of broader societal shifts.
At its core, Dead Mall Theory echoes the sentiment of the Dead Internet Theory, suggesting that just as malls become "dead" when anchor stores vanish, online spaces are increasingly dominated by bots and AI-generated content, displacing genuine human interaction and agency. This convergence reflects the erosion of authentic connection and the commodification of both physical and virtual environments under the pressures of mass production and consumer capitalism.
I love walking along these halls, such a calming atmosphere but this place isn't making money so dead mall theory is in full effect. I have memories of playing in this spot at the arcade as a kid. Now the movie theatre is gone and the food court is half empty.

Dead Internet Theory, suggesting that just as malls become

increasingly dominated by bots and AI-generated content,
displacing genuine human interaction and agency. This
convergence reflects the erosion of authentic connection
and the commodification of both physical and virtual
environments under the pressures of mass production and
consumer capitalism.
Furthermore, Dead Mall Theory incorporates critiques of
materialism highlighting the societal consequences of
prioritizing acquisition and consumption over meaningful
experiences and relationships. Recent events have
accelerated these trends, pushing more people towards
virtual engagement and rendering certain physical spaces
obsolete. What will thenext generation be lacking as a result?
In essence, Dead Mall Theory serves as a commentary on the
intersection of economics, technology, and culture,
illustrating how the decline of malls mirrors broader shifts
in societal values and the evolving nature of public spaces
in the digital age.
The arcade is gone and i'm the only one in the foodcourt, Dead Mall Theory is in full effect here!
