A few carrefour supermarkets in Belgium actually play vaporwave... no joke- I had a meltdown when I realised it while visiting family

"makes you feel like your in an Asian spice department wanting to try something new for you and your loved one on this lovely Sunday evening." Gotta love your bizarre descriptions. Keep up the good work boi

The thing that really draws me into these videos are to hear your mental images on the music you listen to. Too often the review of an album stays on the mechanics, but disregards the effect the music has. The ontology of music is personal, but I think talking about it is the most meaningful way of communicating about it. I love music theory, but if that is on the front and center, you might miss the bigger picture. Thanks Pad, really great video as always!

Finally! A sub-genre that represents what being a grocery store cashier is like for me!

I adore this. Vaporwave, the a e s t h e t i c s of the supermarket... it is all easily buried in my heart. [EDIT] If you are an artist of this genre, thank you.

Albums like 'Yes! We're Open!' and PowerPC ME's 'Kmart 1989-1992' take me back to a different time, when Kmart and David Jones had restaurants, the NES and SMS had just come out and were blowing my young mind. Spending weekends with a group of friends, watching TMNT or Robocop or some other VHS rental from the local video store at one of our houses, after going to the local arcade and passing by the corner shop to stock up on mixed lollies and sugary treats, ready for a binge fest of hyped up jumping around the room during fight scenes, while we were filled to the eyeballs on chemicals we couldn't pronounce and candy made in Mexico. They take me back to a time I remember fondly, but ever more fleetingly. When consumerism was king and everything felt more 'real' than it does now. I think that's why I love vaporwave and futurefunk so much, is that while some people can feel the nostalgia, even though they were never there, hopefully without sounding like a 'back in my day', those of us that were around occasionally find tracks that make us overwhelmed, or even left feeling blindsided by waves of memories of a time that felt like it would never end and the sun would shine on us eternal. A time that felt like we were living in an 80's commercial. I am not ashamed to admit, sometimes it comes on so strong I find myself with a tear in my eye. /ramble Your videos are great Pad, you have an awesome way with words and always seem to be able to bring forward the deepest meanings and feelings out of the music you talk about. Keep em coming!

Somehow when I was a kid, I fantasized about having an entire grocery store for myself. Like, me owning it, living inside and being able to take whatever I wanted without having to pay. It was a specific store we had here, which was basically a grocery store that also had miscellaneous items for sale, kinda like Walmart does now. Back then, where I live (not in the US), this kind of store was pretty rare and sort of novel (we're speaking of back in like, 1997). Everytime my parents went there they'd allow me to roam around while they shopped for groceries (again, back in the 90s parents weren't as protective as they are today :P ) and I felt this kind of general comfort walking around the toy aisle. I remember they had a N64 station to try out games that were about to release/just released and that's where I played Majora's Mask for the first time! Got it the very next Christmas. Anyway, good stuff, will continue watching this series.

Palm mall by 猫 シ Corp is great too , it makes me want to travel a mall for hours and hours and maybe go to the food court section to just eat a hamburger at that nice McDonald's

I mean. You just GOTTA DO mall vaporwave

I love supermarketwave I miss the days of old where supermarkets played muzak which ironically enough got me into Jazz and in turn vaporwave. Thanks for another great video Pad.

Using coupon machines as checkpoints is so relatable to me I must now subscribe. 😫😤

The "Attention Kmart Choppers" record BUMPS, I love it.

The biggest example of how vaporwave and supermarkets/mall work well: D A N B E L L

You honestly deserve so many more views and subscribers--

thank you for compelling me to get back into vaporwave! thank you!

For any British vaporwave creators, TESCO wave please?

Its funny we find this very normal for us but when outsiders see us they think were weirdos lol

Honestly I could listen to your voice for hours.

I'll always remember our old Walmart, it was connected to a small mall with various outlets and the entrance was lined with a bunch of VHS I remember getting our copy of Peter pan from there alot of good memories it's usually one of the places I think of when I feel nostoligc as well as a flea market the buildings are normally empty but with all the stalls set up it's like a odd new world that just stretches on and on, its where we picked up our first puppy, this video and the associated music just give me a relaxed mental trip through those locations when I was super young, also love your videos Pad thanks for getting me into Vinyls

I'm a classical musician, and I have only ever connected with classical music, and for once I have found modern music I actually enjoy. I don't understand why, but I love vaporwave a lot.

Marketwave should be the name for this

If I'm not mistaken Club Claud covered/parodied various popular vaporwave and mallsoft albums, if not remade them better or similar. Just check the album covers and titles; they/he/she did a perfect job!

I fucking love this channel man. Keep up the awesome vids

Bruv! I forgot about those coupon tickets!! I love your style man, thank you for your super intense reviews. "In a world of intangibles too many things seem right." -- Rouge Live. Love. Be. Believe.

Vaporwave reminds me more of the old 80's and 90's cartoon theme songs and soundtracks

I know this video is 2 years old but one of my favorite pastimes is walking through Walmart with noise cancelling headphones and a mall soft or general vapor mix playing. Alternative reality from the busy hustle and bustle of the work day

Hi Pad! I found your channel pretty recently and it's hard to miss the passion you poor into your content. I'm new to vaporwave and have been heavily interested in it, but never knew where to start. Because of you I've found a lot of new music to look into, and in a genre that invokes a new sense of awe to me, coming from an outsider looking in if you will. You're doing some damn good work my man, consider me a fan.

After watching this I checked out food court after hours and was blown away. You are the plug!

Now this is what I call vaporwave analysis. Great work!

I wasn't even alive in the 80s so I can't "remember" those supermarket vibes. But vaporwave does bring me back to when my parents would play 80s american songs all day.

Awesome as always. Amazing to see such an upstart put out so much good material quickly. Best part is the passion you ooze for the subject that makes me more passionate and driven to make vaporwave related content. Keep it up!

Just started watching yesterday! Love these videos man! Keep it up! You have an intriguing view on Vaporwave.

When i was a kid i always looked forward to going to the supermarket hoping to get some candy or a toy my grandpa alway said the shopping mall was the best invention in his life time.

I have wandered around my local Wal-Mart at 2am listening to Yes, we're open, it was an almost religious experience.

Hey all! The background music in this video is once again featuring one of our artists Hallmark '87! If you love the sound, we still have cassettes available for the album featured in this video! Check it out, fellow vaporwave lovers: nightlighttapes.bandcamp.com/album/landmarks

We totally need more supermarket V A P O R. And I second that Groceries Vinyl request!!

I'm surprised no one has mentioned this yet, but there's literally an album called "Music for Supermarkets" by none other than Jean Michel Jarre. A vaporware album from the 80s (yes!) that played once on the radio then never again. For decades there's only been a low quality recording now available on KZfaq, but a small group did a very faithful remake though!

I think Eyeliner would be a good pick as well with this type of vaporwave, especially with such tracks as Sneakers For Men and New Zealand

The coupon machines! 😂 holy fuck thats nostalgic

Geometric Lullaby is currently doing a vinyl pressing of Groceries' "Yes! We're Open" and "Housewares".

Ｉ ｈａｖｅｎ’ｔ ｓｌｅｐｔ ｉｎ ｄａｙｓ

Very inspiring video. keep it up, Pad!

Finally something i begged vaporwave would touch. W i n n - D i x e A s t h e t i c s

Not sure if anybody has said it, but the "Welcome" in the beginning is from the Dog in Snowboard Kids on Nintendo 64.

Have been listening to Yes We’re Open! since you talked about it last. It’s great. Going to have to check out Housewares now too! Thanks again for the recommendations man!

I have a grocery store near me that reminds me of Yes! We’re Open

Good video i like it

Food Court Classics is the best album. I honestly didn't think anyone else in the world loved this album like me

Also VAPYD's foodcourtfunk is a hidden gem

Ahh thank you for this 🍇🍈🍉🍊🍋🍌🍍🍐🍒🍅

I had to stop after the first 10 seconds as I had to find out what track had sampled "Surrender Paradise" by Miami Sound Machine. It's the track "Dunes" by Hallmark '87, but it always throws me off when I recognise a sample in a vaporwave track.

you deserve more subscribers

For real tho groceries is the absolute shit haha. My favorite song on that album is lost in the freezer section. It explains my life completely. I'm glad I'm not the only one who likes this

3:42 That's an air conditioner.

Ayyyy, I grew up with PathMark too! I always tried to play hopscotch with the tile floors. Is it bad that I've never listened to Yes! We're Open before?

Surprised you didn't mention PowerPCMe's Kmart 1989-1992 when talking about the Kmart tapes. IMO that was best release that sampled those tapes.

You need more subs

Only the most patrician music.

writing chops on fire pad

Holy Shit, Pathmark. I Remember Pushing Around A Shopping Cart In Those 80s Aethsetetic Floors, And Buying Foods And Drinks That Are Probably Discontinued Now. But Pathmark, Holy Shit, I Just About Freaked Out When You Mentioned It. All Over North Jersey, From What I Remember. It's Funny, Even Though It Wasnt The Late 80s, (It Was The Early 2000s) They Still Kept The Floors From Back Then. Corporate B l i s s . Also, Yeah. I Remember The Red Coupon Things.

I used to make a fruit juice syrup and dilute a portion of it in water with some ice cubes while listening to s o f t drinks It was very good so r e l a x i n g

I need some Buc-eeswave in my life. Also what is the track in the intro, it's a bop.

I got high on dxm one day and shopped at this shitty store called Dirt Cheap while listening to a vaporwave shopping playlist on youtube and time traveled back to the early 90s. Bought all kinds of random half broken shit!

I’m missing the vaporwave videos pad

Here's an old school album vaporwave artists should look into: "Rainforest" by Walter Wanderley

What about Jean-Michel Jarre's "Music for Supermarkets"?

@padchennington whats the name of the first track in the vid?? I love that sound 🖤🖤🖤

3:39 i'm preeety sure that's an ac unit, great video, tho

Three60 wave for hong Kong aesthetics. Also bring back the weird aspect ratio pad

L O V E U B A B E

The Soft Drinks single is missing.

Pads supermarket boss is the banker on deal or no deal

Idk whether I want vapor and synthwave (etc) to go mainstream so everyone can enjoy or for it to stay niche and private

the editing dam

Um, they’re more known as Food Libraries.

Remember when Pad Chennington had 2K subscribers? _ｎｅｉｔｈｅｒ　ｄｏ　ｉ..._

What’s the name of the song in the very beginning?

It's not a problem but why so much florral shop statue

Where do you think vaporwaves at now in this year?

walmartwave

3:40 that's an air vent

Intro song?

Are you italian Pad?

Too bad the s o f t Drink album is removed :(

Can someone type in the name so i can copy/paste it into bandcamp?

You forgot about Supermarket 超級市場

I miss pathmark

Why in the start You voice sound like the guys from " number 15 burger Kings feet"

It's a really good video and all, but I feel like I wasn't able to hear anything over your voice. If you'd just fade your voice out and let each track highlight itself for about 5 to 10 seconds that'd be amazing. I feel like I just listened to you talk about the songs, but didn't get a chance to actively listen to anything.
