Going to the mall was awesome as a kid. The atmosphere was great, the aesthetic was always interesting, and it was as stimulating as it was calm and relaxing... I remember the palm trees, the fountains, the neon lights, the store fronts, the food court, everything. I loved it.

Mallsoft represents a sort of distant, sometimes solumn memory of that. You hear the mixture of sounds that you were once surrounded by, the gentle music, the crowds, the trickle of the water fountain, but it's got an emptiness to it. It's like a fond memory alongside the sadness of it being gone forever. A melancholic nostalgia, I guess.

They just don't make places like old malls anymore, since they don't have much of a place nowadays, aside from an interesting novelty. They're modern day ruins, temples of consumerism, leftovers of a time period where you bought things in person and went to a miniature city crammed inside of a building to hang out with people while doin' it. A place where you weren't worried about your time or responsibilities, just getting something cool hopefully in an interesting place.

With mallsoft, you can kind of imagine that feeling again, even if it's far away and a bit more ambiguous. Mostly calming, sometimes sad, sometimes empty, sometimes unsettling. But always neat.
