It's sunset in 1991 and you're on AOL (Vaporwave Mix)

The vision of the future presented by the 80s aesthetic never materialised, and that is why we look back with sadness, but also comfort because the promise of the future from a bygone era is now an escape from the future that actually materialised.

1998... I was 14 years old, my dad was still alive, we were living in our first home, had our first dog, and my lil brother was still part of my life. I remember school, playing outside til dark with my neighborhood friends and exploring the woods and running along side the creek that ran through it. Life was simpler then... I'd come home to play nintendo, listen to the radio, and watch TGIF on tv. I wish I could go back to those days...drinking koolaid and chillin in my room with a full family... I miss my whole family...

This is more 1993 but I won’t give you a hard time, lol. Edit: they changed it, it said 1998, now they have edited it to say 1991. WE WON PEOPLE

Having lived in 1998, this is a lot more like 1988. EDIT: OP has since changed the year from '98 to '91, big improvement in credibility.

Miss the old AOL days, when life was simple and free from social media drama. Glad I grew up as a kid during those times.

Enough with the historical accuracy complaints, people. This isn't the History Channel. It's a daydream. You're doing great, OP.

It's 1991. Terminator 2: Judgment day has just been released in theaters. Micheal Jackson is about to release his album "Dangerous". Brandon Lee's career is starting to look promising. Street Fighter 2: the world warrior begins to be a very popular video game in the arcade. I drink my diet pepsi as I look out the window at another sunset in 1991. The sun is setting on the horizon and the future looks bright.

As someone who’s childhood was the 90s/early 2000s..this is definitely giving me summer evening 1995-97 vibes

Definitely miss the world 90s and early 2000's it seemed way more care free, such a joy.

This is literally lowering my blood pressure

gosh thank goodness that nightmare I had about the year 2020 was only a dream. Now...I need to just check my email..

This shit makes me really happy but also really sad for some reason. Nostalgia kills me sometimes thinking how those times are gone forever. You see things like that in those coming of age movies where people realize things are leaving and wont be the same and it tugs at you. But as corny as it is, when you hear certain songs that bring you back to your own good times like this that you can never relive, it hits hard.

I wish I could go back to 1997-2001, best time of my life.

Guys...it's obviously a typo. He meant *1508*. Michelangelo drinking Diet Pepsi and painting the Sixteenth Chapel, right after painting the other fifteen.

1998. My GOD. I was 22 years old. AOL chat rooms were fire back then. My friends and I would go into the 20's single chat rooms LOL. Going out at night. bars playing all the songs considered "oldies" today. Life was exciting. I am so proud to say I grew up in the '80s and '90s. XOXOXO

The days before I was an addict. I had so many friends back then, and so much energy. I'm only 31 now, but I feel like I'm in my 70s. I wonder if those happy days will ever come back.

I think what’s happening here is, it’s 1995-96, and someone who never left the 80s is surfing the future internet on their old Macintosh from ‘84.

I'm so glad I found this. Being born in the 80's and growing up in the 90's was the best. This music takes me back and I love it. 😍

as someone who was 23 in 1998 i enjoy how 80s most vaporwave stuff actually is... 1998 was prime blueberry iMac days
