What the Internet did to The Backrooms

  • The Backrooms, a trend that, a few months ago, was all over the internet. However, as time has gone on and the whole Backrooms trend has seen itself out the backdoor. It seems that a certain sentiment has been brewing online, a sentiment that I agree with. You see, back in the day, the backrooms was simple. It was an endless, spooky scary yellow room. As time went on though, the backrooms, it morphed from something simple into a full on SCP Foundation Rip off. From stupid entities, levels and lore, to being polluted by trends seen on youtube kids.

      I really hated the SCP community for a number of reasons, and when the Backrooms basically became a direct clone, *that's when I really just fucking grudged my feelings* against *_brainless morons of that magnitude_* . The fact they turned a good concept into a *shadow of the bullshit SCP community* is beyond my power to process their brainlessness. It's as if they are under control of a *hivemind* : where they _all do the same thing_ , seemingly under one individual's control.

    Story: Punishment.
    Once upon a time lankybox were uploading a cringe video until they got sent into the backrooms. They started recording and screaming that they got sent into the backrooms. The entities noticed this and remembered they have a special place for cringe people they like to call it "Backroom Ruiners". They sent lankybox into this place where they got stabbed, fell. In eternity. The end.
    Part 2: The endless agony.
    This time This cringe person didn't know the backrooms. They're name was "Topper guild" but the entities knew this cringe person and had a special place for them just like Lankybox. Topper guild was the new experiment for this thing called "Endless Agony" They got stabbed, shot, and all other executions were did to him. Blocks fell on him the entities were excited to call this an place now. And now Topper guild didn't die from the Endless agony but realized he couldn't die. The end.
    Part 3: It is not my fault..
    This one game called "Poppy Playtime" kept getting used to be in the backrooms even tho they are not related.. Yet they came through the backrooms the backrooms entities realized it is not their fault so the entities goes to the poppy playtime characters and let them watch the videos about them.. Until the creator of these videos came and replaced poppy playtime. Until then they have been missing. Information was not dOnE until then.. We will wait.

    I hate how K. Pixels is often seen as the "baseline version" of the backrooms when the only similarity between his and many other versions is that you end up in an area that looks like a yellow back room. This has made it nearly inpossible to find actually good games about the wikidot or any other version of the backrooms without mostly coming across the same "scary monster in yellow level!! find item to go to water level!!" gameplay. Not like the only good backrooms game I CAN find is already at the end of it's development. I just want a good, classic backrooms game that doesn't fall into the spiked hole of K. Pixels following.

    Backrooms was the first ever fandom that i got into before it hit mainstream media. The reason I loved it so much was unlike most horror scenes reliance on intimidating entities. It was almost exclusively based on the mental stress and anguish of being trapped in liminal spaces. There were a few entities but they primarily just there to make you feel unsafe. The true threats were always the immense toll on sanity and willpower which the loss of either often lead to starvation or dehydration. Once it hit the mainstream that seemed to change. (The video that got it mainstream by kane pixels was outstanding i do not fault him whatsoever it was only a matter of time before it happened.) Initially it just shifted to a hyperfixation on backrooms entities which made it feel more like an scp clone. This was shown by many of the new found footages and many of the fan games where all of the only threats were exclusively the entitites and no longer the actual liminal spaces themselves. That was what initially sparked my disassociation with the backrooms. It only grew further and further once content farmers started milking it and completely shifting the image from what it was to other fandom copy pastes and cringy ocs/low effort crossovers. Ultimately this happens everytime a niche thing hits the limelight but it never makes it less sad to see. If you still enjoy it or are making some of the things i gripe about, you are fine because you alone are not the problem whatsoever, it is just destined to happen every time something like this comes around

      I do agree with how the addition and focus given to the entities sort of ruined the main idea (even tho, as you said, Kane Pixel's series deserves quite some merit on its own, which I like as well). But if you still wanna check out a backrooms-related/inspired product that sort of holds true to the original focus on liminal spaces, there's a game called Subliminal coming out sometime this year which (among a couple other things) puts quite the detail on its environments.

    I do have to agree with you. I genuinely never liked the inclusion of entities of any kind in the backrooms. For me, those just deviate the from the core experience, which are liminal spaces.
    However, I do have to admit that I quite enjoy and love the different levels of the backrooms. I personally love the thought of exploring various spaces with a certain theme to them. For me liminal
    spaces were never that scary. To me, they are just very... nostalgic and almost comforting in a weird way.
    I did also wanna add, you could also take a psychological horror spin on the levels. Basically each level could represent an individual's further psychological degradation as their own mind tries to perceive and imagine anything but the monotone yellow of the original backrooms. Nobody is stopping you from making something like this, because just like the SCP foundation, The Backrooms don't have a definitive canon.

    However outside of psychological monsters I don't like monsters in the backrooms.
    I do enjoy the idea of the backrooms being survivable, could be an opportunity for a very interesting story.

    honestly, the idea of levels is pretty cool if done correctly, and entities could be half-good in isolated cases. what i dislike is the "almond water" and other shitty objects, it just feels like its an SCP clone at this point; same with the "colonies and bases" thing.
    the kid content about the backrooms is absolutely horrible. some games about the backrooms can be fun, and its clear their creators put some effort into them, but the majority of them are just "uuuu backroom a lot of entities very scary aaahh"
    the wikidot backrooms is way better than the fandom one, it has much more good content, but still has major flaws like i specified earlier (the object thing, knock-off SCP foundation "M.E.G.", a lot of useless and bad entities, and literally garbage levels which just seem better because they dont have grammar mistakes)

    The original point was about you being *alone* in something that feels familiar.

    I completely agree with the monsters taking away from the psychological horror aspect. I personally think the backrooms are infinitely scarier with isolation and knowing that your biggest threat from another being is a human who has gone insane grom being in your situation for longer. There's fear in knowing you'll probably feel yourself die of dehydration, but also a tinge of fear in your final human interaction being with someone who has lost their marbles. Given that there's no food or water also better guarantees that the crazy person will be a violent cannibal too.

    And this is why allowing for multiple interpretations is important. Instead of an ongoing war over oh backrooms with monsters backrooms without and whatever just let two interpretations exist. There can be people making content on the entity based with all the levels and then the psychological ones can be right next to them
    Also letting the content of pandering, soulless people that don’t care about whatever they’re making a video on ruin whatever for you is one of the dumbest things you can do. If that ruins it for you and you stop making actually good content and just abandon it that means those people win. They get to dictate what happens to it then. “Oh rip backrooms, it’s now just huggy wuggy sonic exe slender man shit now” you don’t have to let it be that.
    Overall I’m tired of seeing videos of “oh the internet ruined the backrooms” just cus people can’t allow for multiple versions of something exist. If you separate interpretations and don’t let it be bound by one kind of cannon it just makes it so you can have both and it can just be more fun.

    I really loved the concept of being isolated in the backrooms, then people started making up levels and I didn’t really mind it, until more people made it into a survival aspect with entities, almond water, and other people in the backrooms as civilizations. It took away the whole feeling of being alone and the liminal space idea with things like levels that weren’t giving you a feeling of nostalgia and isolation, they where just weird out of this world concepts. Not only that but the absurd amount of levels and attaching it to an experiment ran by an organization.
