Wow. What an amazing piece. Well written, and in a way relatable, even though most of our (Dutch) team only experienced the American 1980s through movies and television. Amazing piece.

Great piece! It reminds me of Mark Fisher when he talked about "hauntology." We are haunted by lost futures, haunted by the promises of social democracy that have been broken by neoliberalism.

What a fantastic piece, thank you! I grew up in rural Pacific NW and it’s easy to see my upbringing in Providence Oaks. The lakes, streams, and mountains were almost idyllic illusions. We were poor but at least I could play in the rivers and forests between 99-cent Tuesdays.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

This was a great read, thanks Caro :) Based more on the opening couple paragraphs, have you ever had a chance to play Broken Reality (or any other vaporwave games) ? It's basically exactly what the YT comment you cited describes, but filtered thru the lens of the early internet.

Kicked me right in the nostalgia though, which I feel is a big part of the point, but if you find yourself in the mood for one of those mall videos, it might be right up your alley.
