Weather Channel Vaporwave - (5 hours of 90s weather music)

[@stevegrogan1264]

Senior year of high school (1993-1994), I took a Chemistry AP class, which was held after lunch. Sometimes I would sneak out of the cafeteria and head up to class because I knew my teacher (Mr. Mazer) would be there. Why would I sneak away from friends to hang out with a teacher? First, I didn't have many friends. Second, he wasn't your typical teacher. He was heavily into music and even played guitar. He was into more of the old school Stevie Ray Vaughan stuff; he even had a poster of SRV (and Hendrix!!!) hung in the back of the classroom. While he had the old influence, I was into newer, more indie stuff, but he was open-minded enough to give it a listen and actually wound up having some interesting things to say about the music I shared with him. At any rate, he would eat his lunch in the classroom. Without fail, whenever I went to join him, he had on the Weather Channel. Listening to this now takes me right back to those days, when the only responsibility I really had was homework, and I thought having no friends or romantic attachments were the world's biggest problems. In senior year, I was able to get away with taking only 5 or 6 classes, so my day ended after Chem AP. The thing is, the buses didn't come until after 7th and 8th period, so when the weather got better, I would walk home. My mom and stepdad didn't get home until maybe an hour after me, so I would put on the Weather Channel at home, and it was like I was still hanging out with Mr. Mazer. Now that I play this again, it still feels that way.

Wow thank you for sharing this. It’s amazing the impact good teachers can have on our lives 💜

[@iahelcathartesaura3887]

It was designed to be bland yet pleasant, calming and softly positive. Just like the sound of a security alarm going off is designed (very successfully!) to suddenly rev up your nervous system, heart rate and adrenaline! It's known as psychoacoustic sounds or music. Designed to create a certain reaction in our nervous system. Add to that that it's written into your brain, if you enjoyed it years ago, as a strong, nostalgic and very effective experience... full of memories, sensations. And you have something rather calmly potent for relaxing to 😊 When I listen to this it makes me feel like I'm cozy in my pajamas and eating cinnamon toast 😅

Roughly 30 years later people are watching this old footage of the weather channel. Some questions I like to ponder in these moments are: who recorded all this weather channel footage? Why? How did they keep this for so long? What about the people in the footage, what are those people doing today? What would they think of all these old recordings? Do they long for those older days too? There was a special simplicity in the green screen styles before they had giant touch screens to aid them now. How they had to periodically look at the camera to check where they were pointing to, which made it feel like they were engaging the viewer by talking right to them. The basic graphics to display the numbers and patterns. I miss this shit along with the old scrolling TV guide channels.

Likely not related to this video, but I remember reading about this lady in the US who just started recording everything on VHS. I can't recall if there was a specific reason for it, but she kept going and even got her family involved and they'd sometimes rush back to the house only to switch cassette tapes when they were full.

It’s odd to be nostalgic for a time you’ve never know, it’s quite the odd feeling to be honest as long as I can remember I’ve felt this way, maybe it’s the rose colored glasses i see through when I watch old movies or it could be the melancholy retelling of my older family members youth, I can’t help but be slightly jealous of their experience. The stories they tell from long ago of random antics with friends and certain things that are impossible to experience now are just so extremely interesting. And I think about these things often about how different it would’ve been if I was born just a little bit earlier. But I guess a boy can wish lol

@@Kilthan2050 It was smart phones and social media. 2008 I got the highest paying job I've ever had so didn't bother me. I guess 9/11 if you are American. I was 16 at the time. Didn't really get the gravity of it until years later.

[@Kilthan2050]

They played a key role in too. They helped solidify everything into a homogeneous mass that we see today. In some way culture seems ro have expanded, what with a million sub-genres of entertainment, but its surface level stuff. And regional/local cultures are dying because of the monoculture in the US. Little towns are losing their identity. Heck, even dialects are dying because of mass media and communications. I drive across the US multiple times a year, and each trip it gets harder to find locally owned restaurants. Especially along the interstate highways.

@@Kilthan2050 for me it started smartphones and Rihanna in 2007. The music went very down after it, only Anaconda style twerking and autotune started , and clones of rihanna. It got only worse. In music and music industry. But even 2004-2006 wans't so great as before. Just saying, it was still good. After 2007, it started to go down. I think music industry degraded too much, and also smartphones came, and slowly also social media. Not blame on them, but it triggered faster progress.

good times are not coming and your 40 year cycle is a myth. the world is in a state right now never seen before. there is no other comarable era in history. we are genuinely breaking new ground. systems are falling apart across the world socially, economically, and politically. it gets worse before it gets worse. if you check real metrics and data there isnt anything suggesting good times are coming, quite the opposite and im not just being alarmist. we gotta stop pretending like shits just gonna work itself out because it wont. darkness is growing across the world and thats a fact. war is brewing across the planet. if anything id say we are at the neginning of a modern dark age. people cannot speak freely and are targeted for going against the grain. double speak is becoming a real thing. we are in a state of crisis. we are not past the worst, that just makes you feel better. stop seeking comfort and do something about anything.@@dansands8140

The Weather Channel, Garfield and Friends, Winne the Pooh, Disney, and Dinosaurs is one of the first things I remember looking at as a toddler. XD The Weather Channel was among my favorites for some reason.

[@toreansprouls1063]

This always reminded me of the 90’s Super Nintendo music on RPG games. Sometimes the pause button with the music in the background was just the escape I needed

[@ondinedraws]

I find it interesting that people take so much comfort from this music. I listen to this one specifically because although the music is calm and relaxing, it retains analog imperfections such as skips, glitches and music falling in and out of tune. It gives such a creepy, out of time feeling. I vibe to this stuff while I write horror.

[@TheKnizzine]

Nostalgia is powerful, a lot of folks here are in rough spots being reminded of the simpler times while insomima eats away at them. Analog media was prone to damage think warping on vhs or cassettes so that aspect isnt inherently creepy to say anyone over 25 but it does add the feeling of aging or something being lost which kinda just makes the nostalgia hit harder and feel more meloncholic...like the lobby of a digital retirement home.

[@SOTBTampa]

The fact there's a niche for 90s TWC is awesome! Glad I'm not the only one. I remember in 1993,I was sick and hone from school and finished watching "Hey Dude!" on Nickelodeon and decided to flip channels. For some reason I stopped on TWC and it all took off from there. I cant thank you enough for this. Tho alot ofbthis spunds like more self produced "wave" music,it still fits those TWC vibes precisely. It definitely takes me back to those days.

[@JynOsiris]

Lived in Chicago when we first got cable (1988 I think) and watched exactly this for hours...thanks for the flashback 😊

[@thepokylittlepuppy]

When I was in college I would often take naps with this on as background/white noise. It relaxed my undiagnosed anxiety and helped block any background sounds. Gives me a lot of nostalgia for those days. ❤

[@thekinglink906]

Very nice. I was born in 1997, so I don't have much memory of the 90s. However, there was a period of time in the 2000s where I would stay up and just watch the Weather Channel at night, constantly losing myself in the Local On The 8s. My Grandma had analog cable television in rural Indiana. The Weather Channel Local On The 8s appeared in this format, as if the 90s never really left. It was relaxing, and gives me a true nostalgia for this style that I did get to experience before the death of analog television. I truly miss it. Thank you for this!

[@charliemurphy9022]

Thank you!! I've been searching so long for this music from the 90's. I used to record onto to VHS tapes. I'd sit and pause the tape so I could have just the local on the 8's music. I always loved the graphics too. Jeez, Back then I thought I was the only one who loved this music, so relaxing!! This coming from a hard core Led-Zeppelin fan... Again, thank you!!

i love this.. it’s such a weird vibe. though i was not alive to experience the weather channel’s music back in the 90’s, this still feels nostalgic to me. it reminds me of a time where everything in life was good. i didn’t care about the world around me at the time; i only cared about those who were close to me.

[@jakester01]

For those of us who had Primestar back in the mid-1990s - living in rural Iowa, our "Local Forecast" segments were very different than living in a larger city. Satellite dish subscribers vs. cable subscribers. Local Forecast as a Satellite subscriber: It would go region-by-region....It would first show the latest satellite and the satellite loop for the last 6 hours? Then, it would show regional radar; current temperature spreads; 1-day regional forecast. The NE was shown first; followed by the SE; finally the Midwest; and lastly the West. I noticed during the late evening, there would be this extreme focus on "The West." No local state radar; No local watch/warning information. Same music/tunes, I'm sure. No voice-over telling you, for example, "Your local radar; showing any precipitation and its movement in the last 90 minutes....." Cable subscribers: If you lived in a community with "cable" the Local Forecast segments were as above in the video. Believe you me, it was a step up for we rural folk. As a child, I was interested in tornadoes, but always had a fear how we would be warned of a late-night tornado. Our 4 television stations went off the air around midnight to 1:00 a.m. Very rarely did they stay over for severe weather UNLESS the Des Moines Metro was in harms way. Weather radio, during that time, was basically for central Iowa and had not expanded yet. We had a "scanner" at home that had a "weather" button on it, but depending on the time of day and if it had rained or not, you wouldn't hear anything clear. We had no local weather radio site until the 2000s. The problem with severe weather and Primestar (at the time), any hint of lightning or severe weather, we had no signal. Nowadays, it's different and the worry about a late-night tornado with little or no warning is a lot less than the 1990s and prior where I lived at the time.
