I always kinda had a soft spot for mid-90s mall culture. Well, at least the movie Mall Rats (1995).
It also featured an early Ben Affleck role, in which he was a giant douche and a PIIHB pioneer.

I remember when you could stop and burn a heater in the mall
My grandma loved to shop. When she wanted to hit the mall, my grandpa would go and find a spot to sit near the center of the mall and smoke. As grandma bought, she’d bring the bags to wherever he was sitting and go back to shopping. And he’d sit there and wait and smoke.

Yep probably the first place many young boys ever hung out with groups of girls outside of school.
It was a lot easier to be cool in a mall than it was at school

Since the Woolworths in the Southland Mall Closed, I can count the number of time I have been in a mall on one hand.

A good arcade was a good time before they started getting too expensive near the end there.
And kids nowadays don't know the feeling of walking into the music store and instantly being treated like a felon. You could actually feel the staff thinking you were there to steal from them.

"All these different cultures were intersected at the same time," Daniel Perez remembers. "Even if you weren't inserted into a certain cultural subgroup, you were comfortable being around them just because you were constantly within an arm's length of them.
"As a result of that, I wound up being not really in a clique -- I think a lot of people in the East were like that," he continued. "You would have friends who were preppies. You had friends who were pits. Then you might have had friends who had a whole grill of gold in their mouth, and then you had skaters, the BMX freestylers, the punk-rock dudes. All these guys, they all came to the same place. We were all there. We all saw each other, and we all rubbed off on each other."
80s mall culture was great. And when was the last time you heard someone referred to as a "Pit?"
