Re: Hot spicy bad take!

I hate to be the one to tell you that teens had video games, movies and food at home in the 80s. Being with your friends somewhere that wasn’t at home was kind of the point.

I mean, having been alive in the 80s, access to VHS was a lot harder than popping onto Netflix. Going over to someone's house was way more annoying than dropping into a game lobby or playing with them online from all over the world.

I get you're trying to be clever here but you missed the point that it's not access I'm talking about. It's ease of access.

But if you want to believe I don't think consoles existed in the 80s uh you're free to do that.

Plus, it was way easier to get like 5-10 people together in a mall arcade or theater than in someone's house. Simply due to size and space issues. But since you can all stream shows at home and hop in voice chats together, or play together online, no need to go anywhere to get the same experience of casually chilling with your friends.

I say this as someone who used to be a mallrat. It was the practical choice for a friend gathering because it had everything and didn't need 1 friend to prep everything at their home. But now there's no need.

There's a reason people no longer have LAN parties.

Yes but for the kind of social activity AYRT is talking about, leaving the house is the whole point. You're tired of sitting around the same place, if you're a teenager you probably live with your parents and they're annoying. You want to go hang out with your friends in a physical space that isn't your home and you don't have adults breathing down your neck. Malls were a very good space for that. It doesn't even matter what games you're playing at the arcade or what movie you're seeing. The point was to be somewhere other than home.

I would buy this as the reason if teens were still going to malls for that reason which should not have changed so drastically. Except they aren't. So that couldn't have been the major driving factor.

That wasn't why me and my friends hung out there either, but sure, you speak for us all.

Well you certainly don’t speak for us all either.
