What are you doing? I'm heading back from the yellow mall.
A mall in Joburg. Not around Free State, South Africa
I’ll be walking with you Vaal mall. Holding you with my little finger, the small one, the last one
One of the original shopping 🛒 malls in the San Francisco Bay area Bay fair mall opened in 1957 in san leandro california. It is now referred to as Bay fair center and includes a power center as part of its overall package. There are also plans to develop a small transit village adjacent to the mall itself to include high density residential development mixed use business and retail and pedestrian 🚷 friendly streets as well as shuttles and trams allowing direct access to the mall itself.
Bay fair mall is a thriving mixed use center that has been able to adapt to changing times and tastes.

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.

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.
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!
