Mallsoft popped into my head when reading this too. Basically mallsoft is a sub genre of vaporwave which is Ambient / electronic music with a focus on evoking and creating nostalgia. mallsoft is a sub genre because it focuses on the nostalgia of an empty shopping mall.

Vaporwave etc is absolutely fascinating.

It's also dead now.

It's just expired because it was a big internet niche fad in like 2012. Subsequent micro-genres have appeared since, and also had their turns. Perhaps we'll soon see new ones based on '00s nostalgia.
