I checked out the link and aside from outdated products and people with hair and clothes from my school years, the malls look more or less like 2015 malls. More hot girls in the malls now (though he probably just didn't aim his camera as much at them as some would have). Doesn't spark much nostalgia in me.
But I'm in Europe so maybe things are different here.

I've posted this before, but to watch a TV show from the 1980's is like traveling time. I remember watching these same shows as a kid. Now as a red pill male they are a huge slap in the face.
The women across all the shows are thin, pretty, feminine, dress feminine, support the male characters, and are overall happy and proud to be a mom/wife.
Contrast that with the crap on TV today.
TV and movies are another matter. 80s movies or TV shows can on occasion make me a bit nostalgic.
The nostalgic part of it is true. But it is more than that as well...
I was watching Cheers a few months back. The episode I was watching just happened to also be from 1989. And it wasn't the show or content, it was the people I noticed...
#1) The guys were for the most part wearing suits and looking good.
#2) The women were all dressed femininely. I don't remember seeing a pair of dress pants even. All skirts, with stockings and heels. Most in business suits as well.
And I am talking about the extras in the back ground. Obviously this was normal in those days, at least in a large city, or the audience would question why everyone was dressed so nicely and not identify with the show.
Add to it, the behavior of the female characters was very soft and feminine. Their strengths were shown in a female way, not in a masculine way of fighting or kicking ass. But in being persuasive and sweet.
My first thought was, man, I want to go to a place like that. That is what I am missing in life. Then I realized that place doesn't exist today. This was 25+ years ago, and those days are just gone.
