NRM Hoodie - National Record Mart Retro 80s New York Sweatshirt

National Record Mart (NRM) was a beloved staple of American mall culture—a shrine for music lovers where the scent of shrink-wrapped CDs mixed with teenage angst and parental eye rolls. Founded in Pittsburgh in 1937, it started as a small chain of classical music shops before exploding into over 100 stores nationwide during the heyday of the cassette and CD boom. Whether you were hunting for the latest boy band album, an angry grunge CD, or just trying to hang out somewhere air-conditioned, NRM was the place. But like so many analog dreams, it couldn’t survive the digital age. With the rise of MP3s and online piracy, sales tanked, and the company filed for bankruptcy in 2001. The speakers went silent, but for anyone who grew up flipping through plastic jewel cases under fluorescent lights, NRM will always be a power chord of pure '90s nostalgia.
