And it says, "What brings you today?" 然后照片还写着，“哪阵风把你吹来了？”

I wanted to be scared and depressed². Thank you. 我是想要觉得害怕压抑的好吗，拜托。

So the comments just kept pouring in on the videos, from all over the country, and then all over the world. 所以评论一直大量地涌来，堆积在我的这些视频下面。评论来自全国各地，后来甚至覆盖到全世界。

And I started to think, this could really be something, but I had to get creative, 这让我开始思考，这可能是个好事，但是我必须有创意，

because I'm like, how long are people going to sit and watch me waddling³ through an empty mall? 因为，人们坐在那里看我在空荡荡的商场里晃悠，能看多久？

So the original episodes I filmed with an iPhone. 一开始的几集，我是用苹果手机录下来的。

So I'd walk through the mall with an iPhone, and, you know. Like that. 我拿着手机在商场里走来走去，就像这样。

And security -- because malls, they don't like photography 保安们--因为这些商场，他们不欢迎摄影，

so the security would come up and be like, "Put that away," and I'm like, "OK." 所以保安们就走过来说，“把那个收起来。” 然后我就说，“好好好。”

So I had to get creative and sneaky, so I started using a hidden camera and different techniques to get the footage that I needed, 所以后来我必须更有想象力，更狡猾，我开始用隐藏摄像头和不同的技术来获取我需要的素材，

and basically what I wanted to do was make the video like it was a first-person experience, like you are sitting 基本上我想做的，就是制作这个视频，会像第一人称角度的经历，就像你坐着，

put your headphones on watching the screen -- it's like, you're there in the video, like a video game, basically. 戴着耳机，看着屏幕，你就感觉自己在视频里面，基本上就在玩视频游戏。

I also started to use music, collaborating⁴ with artists who create music called vaporwave. 我也开始用音乐，和一些制作蒸汽波音乐的艺术家合作。

And vaporwave is a music genre⁵ that emerged in the early 2010s among internet communities. Here's an example. 蒸汽波是一种音乐类型，从2010年初开始在网络上流行。这里有一段。
