⁠@@JGD185why doesn’t the internet stop taking over?

[@BattleAxe1345]

This was right when the wounds of 9/11 were still fresh. I can only imagine what the mood and thoughts were of the folks here. I was only in second grade then so I didn't have quite the emotional awareness to pick up on that.

[@Zeldafan1ify]

As someone else put it, this was the time when being alive in America, or just alive at all, was such a wonderful feeling. Nowadays I grapple with that feeling, such a natural "joy" that I felt every day at one point, has become so foreign to me now. I am never truly happy, and have not been for a very, very long time.. but I also see some adults in these old videos, particularly the employees/shoppers, and I can recognize that same void in their eyes. When the void becomes numb, it's really dangerous. You lose sight of the difference between light and dark, everything is all the same to you. Life was always better before that void comes about, no matter when you are born..

[@ronniewest838]

That vintage holiday spirit..!

[@vampirerobot]

Indeed!

[@Silvergun_Raven]

Even though we had just suffered a tragedy in our country a couple months from this video, seeing people shopping, smiling, and trying to return to a somewhat normal life made me thought it was the late 90's again.

[@lauracanedo1446]

I was six in 2001. Honestly this video takes me back to a more “together” or “warm-vibe” feeling. It’s hard to describe, but it’s a very different feeling than I have today. The decor, the lights, hardly any cell phones, just a refreshing thing to see. I’m very glad you upload these videos.

[@mark3464]

That’s cause your memories of that time were from the perspective of a 6 year old

[@xpensfanatic2009]

Considering this was only 3 months after 9/11, I would bet a good chunk of the people in that mall were probably afraid that they were going to be the victims of a terrorist attack....

[@malbrojay4740]

​​@@xpensfanatic2009No, they weren't. 9/11 was a tragic event, no doubt about it, but we weren't living in constant fear of anything. We just lived our lives the same way that we did before just like every other era with major tragedies.

​@@malbrojay4740lol you're full of crap. You clearly weren't alive or old enough to remember those last few months of 2001. No one was happy

[@tommykarate9397]

It's called nostalgia

[@Anonymoi]

I was 25 at the time, late 40s now, and I think of 2001 as pretty much “current.” I guess I’m showing my age, but most of life was the same as it is now, clothes were more or less the same, etc.. A fair amount of people didn’t have cell phones, and smartphones didn’t exist, so you do see people looking around at their surroundings more. Social media as we know it now didn’t exist, either. This was not long after 9/11 and there was definitely a shift in mood in the country at that time - I remember it very clearly. Not only did we not have the sort of division we’ve had in recent years, we really had the opposite. Even advertisers got into the act. Not only was there a spike in patriotism, there was this shift to kind of sappy/homey family-oriented advertising. It’s kind of hard to explain, but we saw something somewhat similar during the height of the pandemic with all the “togetherness”-type ads. Reality didn’t quite mirror what was shown in those ads, but there really was, at least briefly, a little bit more friendliness/consideration shown, at least where I was. In any case what struck me here is how well-dressed everyone is. People always note that when seeing footage from the ‘80s and earlier, but I don’t think of 2001 still being in that more “mannered” era. (Not that the ‘80s were so well-mannered, but people still dressed better and there was certain etiquette surrounding dress which was still observed.) Maybe it’s just the region in which this mall is located or maybe it’s cold weather, or something.

[@mattmc5069]

I remember in 2001 our mall was so packed you where lucky to find one chair let alone a table to sit at in the food court. It was so loud you could bearly hear anything. Then in the next 10 years it shrank. By 2011 you could sit at any table without an issue. Maybe 20 people or so where there on average regardless of the day or time. By 2020 the food court was empty most of the time. Even on Christmas. Lately our mall has a new owner and he's trying to get it up and going and so far he's doing great. The mall and the food court are filling up again. But nowhere near what it was in 2001. Probably never will as people can online shop now and covid has made people afraid to go out.

[@rebeccam3785]

@@mattmc5069 I was 26 in December 2001 and worked in a mall. The parking lot was so crowded from Thanksgiving to Christmas that employees weren't allowed to park there. We had to park behind a used car lot across the street and shuttle to the mall.

I'm the same age as you and I agree.

[@GLC-1979]

I was 21, almost 22 in December of 01'...9/11 changed everything. I agree 100% on the 80's, I remember it well. Most of the Men still wore suits or dressed up attire when going out to eat or shopping (and smoked everywhere) same with the women. The gov't did something to us and ruined our culture by indoctrination and modernism. I'd give my life to go back to the 80's and 90's..(i'm sure the 50'-70's were even more amazing) but this time here is the very tail end of greatness to behold.

@@xpensfanatic2009 Nostalgic for most of us who were kids in primary school, at least. 😅 Definitely not a happy time for many people, but, in retrospect, the unity, the patriotism and more respect for the police & our military during the Bush era was the one good thing to come out of 9/11. Like, for instance, we'll probably *never* see patriotic rappers like The Diplomats ever again in our current political climate since BLM. Or artists like Destiny's Child singing about their love for soldiers. No era is perfect, but every era has its pros & cons and things we took for granted, like the stronger sense of unity & patriotism, even though it was unjust.

[@xpensfanatic2009]

​​@@GalidorquestI was 10 in 2001, but I guess I was gifted with the sense of not thinking the USA three months after 9/11 was a happy and cheerful place.

I mean, the food I eat doesn't come from the internet, it comes from somewhere in the real world. I do think that there is real good in going out into the world to get that food, if you have the time,energy, and ability. Why? People in the past from many different cultures have done the same, and often they had to prepare it and even catch it themselves. If all those people could do it, I can too because I am as human as any one of them, and we have a common and shared humanity with those in the past. I imagine some of those people imagined people in the future like me doing something like they did. So it's a universal and shred value across multiple cultures across time. It really is living life the way it should be lived, with its happiness and its pains.

I was thinking the same thing. Online shopping definitely existed although I do remember that there were still people at that time (like my parents) who were afraid to enter credit card information online. Returns could be a hassle - I was just thinking the other day about how you’d often still have to call the company to get “permission” to a return an item, and start the return. So, I suppose that would drive people to malls for Christmas shopping in particular. But, malls were still thriving. I bought most of my clothes in stores up until maybe 10-12 years ago even though I bought a lot of stuff online, too.

People seemed to be thinner back in the day. You actually had to leave your house and walk around to buy stuff. These days we are fat and ordering online.

[@Free_Snooki]

I think weight is the last thing I would worry about in this degenerate decade.

The video description says this mall is in Atlanta. Even in Buffalo, NY, we'd stuff our outerwear into a locker (the kind like at a bowling alley or gym) and run around comfortably.

I can only imagine how much Christmas was on the mind for those shoppers and absolutely nothing else. 🥰

Some people gotta stop acting wimpy cause COVID is almost gone completely when going outside and look at their phones all day I saw 2 days ago at the Bart station and in the train, almost everyone was on their phone, what happened to the days where people weren’t on them all day prior to January 2014? Why do they want them to be forgotten? Why can’t they stop and why are they still doing it? I need an answer and why do I feel like they thought the way they hang out was boring originally? I do not want anyone to say never.

I didn’t enjoy Christmas 🎄 2001 after 9-11. I’m still not over it in 2023. Than on top of it 1-6-21 happened. When I thought I couldn’t be more traumatized than 9-11 😢…1-6-21 happened. And, I’ll never be the same person I was before these events happened 😢😢😢. I have PTSD..I still see a therapist every week because of this.
