Wow. Core memories unlocked

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 18 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Well, I wanted to buy some, but I never had enough money.

[–] MyDearWatson616@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

One day I'll save enough to afford those obnoxious pants with all the chains and stuff

[–] jaschen@lemm.ee 11 points 8 months ago

This is where we went to look at Memes before there were memes.

Gotta find all the bikini posters

[–] dmention7@lemm.ee 10 points 8 months ago (1 children)

The art of making sure to linger just long enough to seem like you were casually enjoying them on the same level as the Green Day poster, without lingering so long as to raise suspicion...

[–] Assman@sh.itjust.works 5 points 8 months ago

A man of culture I see

That one black and white photo of two women wearing white shirts and panties in bed kissing

[–] Fiivemacs@lemmy.ca 10 points 8 months ago (1 children)

We had to walk past all the bongs, 'tobacco' pipes, doc Martens, and band t-shirts to get to the posters.

[–] ThirdWorldOrder@lemm.ee 1 points 8 months ago

Sounds like Spencers. I looked back at my elementary and middle school pictures and I was always wearing some shirt from there.

Spacing all of the posters out perfectly just to then push them all to one side and hearing the frames hit each other.

We had a Camelot where I grew up, but I was top young to really appreciate it at the time

[–] son_named_bort@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

It's still around. There's one in a mall near me.

[–] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Same, actually, but do you remember it? What a place back in the day

[–] son_named_bort@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Oh yeah, it definitely isn't as good as it used to be.

[–] m0darn@lemmy.ca 7 points 8 months ago

POV: you're 37 and spend 3 hours looking at memes, but don't print any.

[–] EtherWhack@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

It was our form of a museum, growing up

[–] RoseRose56@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

Indo that when I visit record stores! Especially with CD stores.

[–] JulesTheModest@sh.itjust.works 4 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (3 children)

What was the name of that posters store? (mostly 1990s). Man, I bought like 5 posters there.

[–] Notyou@sopuli.xyz 14 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Spencer's? It had a spot for posters, but it wasn't really a poster store.

[–] ThirdWorldOrder@lemm.ee 3 points 8 months ago

There’s still a Spencer’s at the mall near me (Dulles, VA)

[–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 2 points 8 months ago

Why do this when I can go to the book store and casually hide a bikini magazine inside another more-legitimate book/magazine?

[–] snowsuit2654@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 8 months ago

Other places that had this were Media Play and FYE.

[–] guyrocket@kbin.social 2 points 8 months ago

I think one was Spencers.
