The Backrooms - When you glitch out of reality

The Backrooms is an urban legend and creepypasta which originated in a 2019 4chan thread about unsettling images. One of the first examples of liminal spaces — an internet aesthetic which includes usually busy locations depicted as unnaturally empty — the Backrooms are an endless maze of office rooms which are entered by "[noclipping] out of reality in the wrong areas". As its popularity grew, internet users have expanded upon the original concept by creating different levels and entities which inhabit the Backrooms. Fan-made video games, collaborative fiction wikis and YouTube videos have also been inspired by the Backrooms. #thebackrooms #glitch #thematrix #simulation #rumble
