How about the Backrooms? Yeah, everyone knows that. The Backrooms is this dimension you can ‘no-clip’ into at any point, And the room is yellow and goes off into infinity. The lore and canon of the Backrooms seems to keep building on itself since 2020. Some Backrooms have monsters, and there are apparently multiple levels of Backrooms. I can’t really describe the exact look of the Backrooms, but all of them have a mid-2000s feel to them. Things from our childhood, or spaces that remind of us of our childhood.

…

Analysis:

The Backrooms are an example of a recent phenomenon and fascination of what are called ‘liminal spaces,’ spaces that have 2000s aesthetics and atmosphere. They are supposed to be unsettling, but nostalgic as well, many of which have their own associated stories, lore, monsters, etc. The conception and rise of the backrooms may be a reflection of a current desire to go back when the world was simpler, though filled with greater unknowns.
