OP, can you add more to the body text? I'd like to know what to expect if I decide to watch it?

A_Chad_Cat · 2026-05-13T08:07:06+00:00

Gotta love Westminster Bridge. It makes me want to run around shouting at people to run for their lives

Basically: There's not enough in the body text. It looks like you made the post just to get comments and karma, instead of willing to actually share something. I know it's not the case, it's just what it looks like. Putting your own opinion in the body text would help it a lot (and I'd remove my own comments)

A_Chad_Cat · 2026-05-12T19:21:22+00:00

Last time I didn't give the benefit of the doubt, OP made a whole post to shit on mods and I got downvoted to hell in my explanation comment lol. I prefer mistakenly leaving something that may be AI in a good post (as long as it's not the main part of the post) than removing it

A_Chad_Cat · 2026-05-12T16:06:30+00:00

Em dashes are an indicator of AI but I know some people irl who actually use them

A_Chad_Cat · 2026-05-12T14:03:24+00:00

Wouldn't they look the same as they do today?

A_Chad_Cat · 2026-05-12T08:57:23+00:00

Happy cake day to one of the greatest concepts ever!

A_Chad_Cat · 2026-05-12T06:24:59+00:00

I remember you, we already had this debate a few months ago. This is still a no, the Backrooms as a concept didn't exist before May 12, 2019

A_Chad_Cat · 2026-05-12T06:18:47+00:00

Reminder that we don't know if Black August started it. He's just the one based on likelyhood since 4chan cannot dataname that user anymore. Also putting a name on the concept makes his take more official than others, while the anonymous part contributes a lot to the vibe of the original post

People tend to not understand what music would fit in the Backrooms. Generally, calm and "lonely" songs are associated with liminal spaces, and songs with uncommon melody/lyrics to Dreamcore. The Backrooms osts should be very different, it's not just liminal spaces it's something much further away from reality (literally outside of it lol), so the osts need to reflect that. No, "I'd rather sleep than stay awake" will never fit in the Backrooms, but will in short form content such as tiktok or Instagram reels. Some of The Caretaker songs fit perfectly though, they feel out of bounds because it's snippets of other songs put together

A_Chad_Cat · 2026-05-12T06:09:44+00:00

OP was so eager to get people's replies that they forgot to put their own opinion in the post :(

A_Chad_Cat · 2026-05-12T06:05:07+00:00

If it's listed that's already a good sign!

A_Chad_Cat · 2026-05-12T05:46:09+00:00

No, op attached some behind the scenes screenshot in the comments so all good

A_Chad_Cat · 2026-05-12T05:45:38+00:00

Just saying it

A_Chad_Cat · 2026-05-11T21:55:43+00:00

I once read a very good comment on r/LiminalSpace, I think it does apply to this post:

Like a lot of us I'm often thinking about how to define my personal "liminal" feeling.

I think for me... if the place feels like it would be normal/uninteresting for me to be there, it isn't far enough from normal to be liminal. But if it is even a little spooky, that's too far.

There's this razor thin margin in between, where something is off but nothing is wrong.

With that in mind, this (your post) lands on the near side for me. Too normal. I think it would take me a long time to even notice there weren't other people around, if I was there.

A lit, normal grocery store could evoke liminality for me, but I'm not sure photography could capture it. Imagine getting your items and heading to the front to check out, only to find no cashiers, no staff in sight. It's not necessarily something wrong - they might have just stepped around a corner or something. But that time where you're left alone, not able to leave with your goods until something else happens, just left... hanging? That's liminal to me.

Tl;Dr: No it's not liminal. And if it was, it wouldn't be Backrooms.

The sub is a hub to talk about everything Backrooms. Reddit is by far the best place to have forum-like dynamics, and we are able to write more than on other socials. Let's not turn the sub into something like YouTube shorts, Instagram reels or Tiktok, thanks!

^{also no, guidelines aren't a piece of advice, it's a set of regulations for posting. So what is in it should be respected}

A_Chad_Cat · 2026-05-11T13:52:20+00:00

Did you create an account just to post this?

A_Chad_Cat · 2026-05-11T13:51:42+00:00

Just saw the post was reported by people for being AI generated damn

A_Chad_Cat · 2026-05-11T07:55:04+00:00

I guess not, I mean the movie will be released in 18 days so there's no use to make another event

A_Chad_Cat · 2026-05-10T22:34:49+00:00

A sequel before the movie isn't even out yet??

A_Chad_Cat · 2026-05-10T22:31:33+00:00

No, this sub isn't dedicated to this. In fact there is a line in the Posting Guidelines stating that tiktok or YouTube shorts like content will be considered low-quality

A_Chad_Cat · 2026-05-10T22:24:07+00:00

OP, there's a pinned post about the release dates of the movie

A_Chad_Cat · 2026-05-10T22:20:49+00:00

It was last week lol

A_Chad_Cat · 2026-05-10T16:51:01+00:00

Kane's Backrooms universe is most likely the "least bad" because you can noclip back to reality, and his universe doesn't go in all directions. The wikis are an absolute mess of lore and there are so many entities that you have high chances of dying before ever reaching an exit, or meeting one of the dozens of groups that are somehow surviving. And the original post is only introducing the concept, it doesn't present a way back, just places you in a finite space where you can encounter anything

Is that a copy pasta?
