He doesn’t care about the literal dead man, no no no, Mat only worries about the mold growing and cleaning the drywall.
Dead bodies are overrated
Molds... those are awful
Getting rid of a dead person is quite simple, you can call an ambulance faster than ever nowadays.
A damaged wall, however, is much more challenging.
"FACTS"
turns out if you inhale the mold in the backrooms you die
@@Db-wh1co you shouldn't forget to take your meds
I like how matpat dad energy is so strong he is no longer scared by horror but by mold on walls and rotten floor boards.
Especially with the dad beard
To be fair that is also a very "Alastor" energy as well….
Matpat has been hurt by mold before. I feel it yo. Had a pipe leak and destroy my kitchen floor in 2020 and I can't tolerate the water level in my kitchen aquarium getting too low bc it sounds like it did that horrible night
@@Crisjola Alawho?
@@frasina3401 its the character the original comment based their pfp and name off of.
I don’t think the dates in the first video are necessarily a mistake…the cameraman fell through, we don’t know how much time passed while he was in the backrooms, or when the camera was found. The footage upload date is probably what’s in the description, not the date the footage was captured. We don’t know how time works in the backrooms.
Agreed. I think the end of the video when the camera makes it back to the surface, thats probably the date on the video description. The last day he filmed, when it was later found.
I’ve heard that an hour is like 10 years but I don’t think that’s true
@@Bumbaclaat360 1houres on earth = 10houres in backrooms
the thing chasing him in the first video grabbed the cameraman and the camera fell through
well im pretty sure in the last vid kane wanted it to take place in the 90s
I believe it says at 19:44 "Due to the elevation discrepancy between panel R25 and R24, a small box field is created." The image is noting that the "null zone 4" is an imperfect copy of the area on the left, as if space is looping there. The vibration detectors I think are to check for signs of life moving in the backrooms.
No it's "Due to the elevation discrepancy between panel R25 and R24, a small kx field is created"
@@semyonr4212 kinetic exofield but spelt xofield maybe?
it looked like a null box field is created
@@ginger02231 which is?
@@GODOFAWSOMENESS1 I think what they're trying to say is that it says "null" instead of "small", which I also believe is correct when you go back and look at it.
Mat's mold PTSD is real and present in this episode.
yup, me over here being freaked out out by wishpering... (yes i have ptsd with wispering)
I agree with Matpat, since I had to deal with the same topic in a lighter version. But it was annoying enough.
I can get it so much... My house flooded due to Hurricane Sandy and the mold was so bad and the house damaged we had to demolish and rebuild
Not as real as MUSIC MAN
@@Rae.Y2k PTSD?
Honestly, Matpat kind of gives me a sense of security when reacting to this kind of stuff. Thanks for not giving me night terrors :)
Relatable
Agreed
Yes TY!
Yeah, everytime I go to a bathroom and there's no one there I get reminded of the backrooms and get scared and try to get out of there as fast as I can.
Totally
The idea of a 2 year old clipping out of reality into these areas is so sad. Imagine your whole life ends before you are even conscious of being alive
Imagine existing in the back rooms longer than in real life.
@@puppetmaster9421 That would be crazy.
@@puppetmaster9421 Skill issue
If Kane is sticking to the original idea of the Backrooms, the Backrooms themselves are an entirely non-human creation and has existed for an unknown amount of time. The yellow space being only the first of a near infinite amount of levels with different aspects, surroundings and dangers. That photo of the room with water and the pipe is seen to be another level, taken from “liminal space” photos where the idea is “you’ve seen this place before, you just don’t know where” where everything has a sense of familiarity to it.
Deja vu
It's funny to know that MatPat wasn't familiar with the whole thing about the Backrooms before. Well, I just found these things last year and started to know when there's a trend last year in CZcams about Liminal Spaces, and the Backrooms was the most famous one. There's a point where I'm watching hundreds of compilation of photos that are Liminal Spaces last year. And this, The Backrooms series videos is a recreation of some of those liminal spaces photos, it's mostly hallways, but that stair case in the first video and also that London Airport hotel indoor courtyard are the most recognizable liminal spaces photos.
I'm such a huge fan of Liminal spaces, and I hope Kane pixels could recreate more liminal spaces photos like 90's birthday party abandoned set, abandoned mall, etc.
What seems to be happening is that they are opening a portal to the backrooms
But the backrooms have concrete, computers, artificial lights and more stuff only invented by us
What about the monster?
That discussion Mat had at the beginning about the mold on the wall and the removal of it, talking about removing the dry walls and getting fans in there, gave me flashbacks. House went through a flood, and he is not kidding; it took *months* of repair, weeks of running fans and tearing walls down. True terror is not embodied in the backrooms, nor any haunted pizza place; it is home repair.
I'd say that's traumatizing.
That sounds scarier than any backroom video, rumor or website- a true horror
I think a big reason of why a lot of arg’s use daisy bell (the daisy daisy song) is because it’s the first ever song sung/synthesized by a computer in 1961, and old technology seems to play a part in a lot of these series. A lot of people find the recording of that song by the computer creepy but I personally think it’s endearing, it’s like he’s the worlds first vocaloid. Hatsune Miku’s grandpa
That's cool info. Thanks for sharing that!
Bruuuuuh. Thank you for bestowing this knowledge into me. X,D
Hatsune miku’s grandpa 🥺 why is that thought so cute 😂
And because a lot of people connect daisy bell with liminal spaces, and the backrooms is THE liminal space
The video for it and the lyrics don’t help the creepiness. Like yea cool, first song made by a computer but who wrote the song and r they ok? Who hurt them
talking about age, mattpat literally doesn’t look a day over 19. We need a whole theory on that-
Oh? That? Hes probably just a shapeshifter
Matpat is an immortal confirmed.
Babyface and a specific body shape and whatnot just like me.
@ArtistAnthony No, hes an immortal.
He is not the original MatPat. He has been replaced. The creature doesn't understand how human aging works, so it can't replicate it.
The FBI warning doesn't denote government involvement. That warning was on millions of VHS cassettes as a warning about copyright infringement. They used FBI in the header to add a more ominous tone to the warning.
Yo, MatPat, there technically isn't a solid canon for the Backrooms universe, but the Backrooms wikidot is generally considered to be the 'most' canonical. So check out the site, and maybe some of the other theorist channels focused on the Backrooms like Broogli and Mr. Ferrante.
I think he wants to solve this version of the backrooms
Broogli’s and Mr.Ferrante’s first 13 backrooms levels are very different for some reason
@@JRon1 Yeah the levels are a misfire if you ask me. Totally not frightening. People go to level and level with the biggest bullshit, jungles etc whatever you can come up with.
BROgli😎
@@JRon1 broogli uses the wikidot lore and ferrante uses the liminal archives lore. also broogli sucks and he doesn't have a personality
That date “inconsistency” was likely the date when the tape is found and not when the film is made.
nice
That's exactly what I was thinking. I also think at the time the camera falls from the backrooms to the real world it might have skipped time or they just never found it until then.
That’s what I was thinking too
As a chemist, seeing “vibration” followed by “eV” I knew it was talking about quantum mechanics/atomic vibration so I laughed at mat thinking it was about earthquakes, but then I remembered that most people don’t know what electron volts are

27:00 matpat was about 5 seconds away from going insane trying to figure out how fnaf and the backrooms were connected
As an author from the backrooms wikidot (the more official one because of the stories and that) I think that this is a good start. Fun fact: the backrooms actually came from a 4chan post and slowly evolved into this entire series of things, making societies and liveable levels, there is also a lot of other things like the beast of level 5. I recommend you should check it out someday.
Why am I not surprised that 4chan came up with this. SCP, Backroom, trolling angry celebrities all the cool weird stuff comes from 4chan.
Lol, devolved ? I can agree with the devolution in regards to all the whacky levels, but Kane Pixel's video is far from a devolution...
EDIT: Nevermind, you gave him props at the start.
i think you mean *evolved. the various stories that came off the original 4chan backrooms would be (semantically) considered an evolution, not a devolution. more came, not less.
It appears mat will focus on the Kane side of the back rooms but you’ve obviously wrote a bit of the actual canon back room iceberg from the wiki dot itself. I think that’s amazing honestly. I was wondering maybe you authors could include more info on no clipping as transportation throughout the back rooms. Maybe a story about a back room survivor who was so good at it she or he was on par with some entities and trained people how to better no clip as an escape or exit like maybe he or she would be a member of those bigger organisations in the back room levels
@@annaleft9726 yeah a lot of people are divided on whether adding all those extra levels away from the good old level 0 was a good idea I think it’s kinda cool personally
Fun fact: the red string is a reference to the Greek tale of the Minotaur. A man secretly brought a red string of yarn into the Minotaur's labyrinth. This allowed him to find his way out after slaying it.
Yup, just commented that, too. I'm wondering if the Greek Myth will have more to do with this, since they're literally in a labyrinth with a scary monster hunting them down.
Was that not Ariadne's Thread?
@@osseed yes.
@@osseed more specifically her "Clue," which is exactly why we use that word the way we do now-a-days. :D
Not just any man - THESEUS, arguably the worst of all the Greek Demi-God "heroes."
As someone who works for a mold and water damage remediation company, that mold is a NIGHTMARE. Gotta go back to studs my man.
The experiment is about recreating a real space that the scientists have build in real life (the yellow corridor) into a fractal dimension, the same small place is repeated and multiplied y into a Quantic dimension on a fractal design.
This is insanely badass
Source?
@@DevanK-rg3td I think this was just an educated guess. Which seems as accurate as any conclusion I have seen. An example of the evidence is the photo of the man staring through a window into what appears to be the backrooms. It explains how they can generate a map as the backrooms is generating. Also this was the first thing that I thought after watching every video.
Until new videos confirm otherwise or someone comes up with a more convincing conclusion this does seem to be the more obvious and logical conclusion that at-least I have seen.
@@Sollapoke well, if it's a direct attempt at solving overpopulation and space crises, this would be the most logical conclusion to come to, not that i would've been able to use "fractal" or "quantum"; woulda just said pocket
also what i first thought
i saw someone compare it to theseus and the minotaur but i think the true aim was more tower of babel, but the process by which it distorts space also has an effect on all within it. or they simply copy pasted the mega structure into a dimension where those entities are simply native in the first place and they lost control of the complex's duplicative code
idk
The Backrooms, being generated from a predetermined matter configured in our space-time reality [blank], also any living organism that was inside the facilities that were used for the KV31 experiment could be the object of a metamorphosis that goes beyond our understanding. . Async analysts involved in the project even speculate that the interaction of the viewer (any conscious organism that crosses the threshold) can consciously or unconsciously alter the physical reality around them as evidenced by the double slit experiment. The argument given to us [blank] was made for the development of the project that was initially called ********** was simply an excuse for the government to carry out the investigation with state funds, claiming to solve housing and storage problems, but in reality they were never interested in this, the idea was always to create hidden spaces for secret military and scientific facilities that become increasingly difficult to hide and finance and at the same time keep them hidden from the public eye and scrutiny and god knows the government has many things to hide. The discovery of fractal spaces was almost by accident int....... acceleration of cadmium particles subjected to strong electromagnetic charges generated an alteration at the molecular level of the......
The fact that watching someone else be terrified while watching something creepy or scary automatically makes whatever you're watching way less creepy or scary is super comforting. I love that.
It means you're not alone in being creeped out by whatever you may be watching, and it's just great. ^__^
Yep
Lol
Monument mythos
but he already watched it before so how he can be terrified still when is not the real blind impression?
@@jaimdiojtar it could still have the ability to scare him anyway, partially if he doesn't remember where the scary or startling bits are in the video
for next time when you're decyphering text like this - I'd recommend taking multiple screenshots and layering them with lowered opacity?
if you stack them precisely the dark pixels might add up and make it more readable.
Ooooo good idea lol. Imma try that when I'm having trouble reading something like that in the future, thanks!
Pretty sure he's done that a bunch of time in the past. He just didn't do it here, because of the "live" aspect of the video
A-Sync could be a reference to asynchronous, literal definition "of two or more objects or events not existing or happening at the same time." "Of a machine or motor, not working in time with the alternations of current."
Sounds like a portal machine to me!
I really like the science-fiction approach and how they are using actual sub-atomic particles.
The Oct 17 1989 Earthquake was a very real event that happened right in the middle of the World Series game happening in San Francisco. It was one of the fiercest earthquakes the Bay Area faced in a long time. Kane was pretty masterful choosing that date for the first contact video. This probably hints at ASync probably being somewhere in the nearby area, perhaps Silicon Valley?
Maybe so,if you go to Kane Pixel second channel(Not Kane Pixels),there's a soundtrack named "out from Silicon Valley"
And the double decker freeway bridge collapse killed alot of people… sort of unnerving to see it in this video. Oof
I'm not sure if they're near there or not since it's not confirmed if Async works in that state in the first place.
He Linked a Video of the earthquace in the discription of first contact
Fun Fact: Daisy Daisy was the first song ever sang by a computer. Don't know if that helps or not but at least we are all a little wiser now.
Came to check if this was posted. Being a first creation of something and the back room creation. Seems like it would connect
So I’m not sure if anyone else has said this and I’m sure if mat’s looking into this he’s already thought about it, but, is it possible that the little alcove with the drawings and the warning to stay still is a null zone? So then it makes sense that there would be the sign telling people to stay still because maybe they figured out that the monster can’t get them there.
30:48 imagine if the creature in the backrooms or someone at the entrance cut it. the idea of taking a tether and then it being removed without your knowledge is so so scary to me. they try to follow it back but its lost
When there’s a carpet stain, it is guaranteed by the laws of the universe that Mat is unbelievably discomforted.
Daisy Daisy aka "Daisy Bell" is the first song to be sung through computer speech synthesis. It was a huge stepping stone for the development of the computers we use today. I am unsure of how it fits into the backroom lore but it definitely wasn't just put in there just to be creepy.
Maybe it was made by IBM? Maybe async is IBM?
As I’m piecing together some of the timeline of events, I have a theory that this group of scientists were sent in to research other missing persons after the last video showed the mold spore corpse. I believe that the missing persons are persons known to have gone missing shortly after the events of the 10/17 first contact. Either as a direct result of opening the portal, or as a result of further space time distortion caused by experimentation inside the back rooms.
12:36 I always thought the year differences had to do with when the footage was found after the camera phased out and fell from the sky. Also how does time work in the backrooms? The camera kid could have been lost in there for years and not even noticed. To me the year on the slate looks like 91 but it could easily be a very poorly written 6.
If you want more info on the back rooms then check out the wikis. Not the fandom one, use either the backrooms wikidot or the liminal archives wikidot. The first one has a lot more levels, but some are poorly written. The second one has only a few, but are written much better and has a few more interesting things included. There are some discrepancies between the two like level 12/11 (12 in liminal archive, 11 in wikidot. Same level, named differently since level 1 in liminal archive is level 0 in wikidot)
Edit: Reading my comments I think I should clarify myself. These wikis are not for this series, it is for the Backrooms concept alone.
I don't think those would be helpful for trying to understand Kane's backrooms series. Every indicator shows Kane is not going by the wiki.
I don't recommend the wikis if you want the true horror of the backrooms
Only the wikidot would be helpful since this version includes both the HUB and level 188, which are not on the Liminal Archives version.
THIS
Sorry for inconvince of fandom we currently fixing these lol
What I think is wrote at 19:49 is "Due to electronic discrepancies between panel 125 and 134, a small box field is created"
I know they already said it but they just didn't mention the numbers.
16:56 "Due to the elevation discrepency between panel 225 and 234 a small kx field is created."
Heads up with the collateral video, there are shots of people disappearing while off camera. Watch the person on the right at 38:39, as the camera zooms out he is nowhere to be seen. In the following clip you see a man walking along the bridge, the camera pans up and then back and the man is gone. I didn't notice anything in the other clips, but these are very subtle hints of what the "collateral" really is beyond the earthquake.
Oh my gosh! That’s crazy, I didn’t notice that!
None of them no-clipped.
nothing happened whatsoever on the right side of the screen at that time stamp
actually if you see very closely, the man on the right at the field is still there just barely at 38:54
@@angelic_celeste you see that there are 2 men walking to the right? When the camera pans out the one at the most right is gone, even as it pans out more and more.
personally i think it says "due to the elevation discrepancy between panel 125 and 134, a small box feild is created" with the misspelt "field"
Definitely agree that the frame in question is speaking about an “elevation discrepancy”
I maybe would replace small with null. But besides that I agree
I was thinking "electronic" and "null," since it looks like he's working with it on a computer, and not being able to get it to line up, but what you've got is definitely also possible!
yeah the word is definitely "elevation" XD not electrical
I love Matt's red coat so much. It reminds me of Travis Touchdown's coat from the No More Heroes games. All he needs is a laser sword and a t-shirt with some super weeb stuff on it and he'd totally have a great Travis cosplay
As someone who's experienced multiple earthquakes in my life, they hardly bother me anymore. I've never experienced a tornado before though and the randomness of something like that scares the crap outta me.
I think it scary is knowing It sees you and your alone and there is something is coming for you and there may be no way out
Yeah, tornadoes are terrifying because they can just YEET stuff in completely random directions
A dog saved a lot of people, I've seen it in a compilation
The tsunamis after the earthquake are the scariest part of the earthquake.
The date is not necessarily an oopsie. This is "Found Footage" which means it could have been found any time after the recording.
Hey, cool catch! I was thinking this myself, but it seems someone beat me to it. Also, I was a little skeptical of my thoughts because I'm not 100 percent sure how the dating system works for this thing since there's only been so much made of ot as of now.
that's a really good point!
Yes, finally someone said it
@@ClarkMakesCringe Not sure what you are implying. The clap board says July 4, 1991. The video description says it was found September 23, 1996. This implies it was lost for 5 years.
@@faraque i think they were just agreeing that it was indeed found after it was recorded, since you cant find something before it was made
I sure hope people check the comments under the original video about the null zones-- there's someone who shared what the blurry words said, and the layman's terms of the scientific information that's presented. It's really fascinating, and shows just how much in-depth and crazy research Kane did for his lore. I'm amazed by the intelligence and careful realism someone so young is putting into his creations.
The guy had said "Due to the elevation discrepency between panel 225 and 234 a small kx field is created."
An actual idea I had, and I'm sure many others thought of this when presented with the dates issue on the slate and the video description, is what if time moves differently in the backrooms. It's stated in "the third test" and shown in the first video of the backrooms, that this an "pocket dimension" of sorts, with a door that dropped the camera out of the sky, and yet it's quite evident that there's no floating infinite backrooms in the sky, clearly defining the two separate universes apart, meaning that a time difference, such as time moving slower in the backrooms, is entirely possible.
I've just had an idea! The date probably doesn't match bc the Sep. 23 might be the date of the last piece of footage found. If that's correct it'd mean Kane spent over two months in the backrooms. I'm not sure if anyone else had thought of this, but it's interesting!
I love when Matt asks if Evil Tripod Monster comes with the territory - like he’s part of the purchase, an example of a great value product.
Upsides: Infinite space
Downside: Mandatory roommate
clip in the ground now and get one monster completely free
Kane definitely deserves the attention he’s getting, this stuff is fantastic. I love that the cooler subgenres of horror are doing so well as of late. Great thing after great thing showing people that horror is so flexible and impactful.
I agree, it's nice to see new stuff and new creators!
@Don't read profile photo okay
I wish i could get good at making Backrooms content like him one day
Matt i know this probably late, but have you considered that Time moves differently in The Backroom Realm? Like maybe it could have been years to us on Earth for the Camera to drop from the sky.
36:51, notice how there is a comma there, so its not “if anybody blame him”. its “if anybody….blame HIM”. as if theres is someone to blame for the creation of the backrooms and the outcome of what its become
The "If anybody, Blame him." I guess its referring to the fact that that person probably saw the fungus in one of the rooms and had the great idea to get closer or touch it and slowly died as the fungus take over his body but it might be other thing that's a very direct explanation.
tf has backrooms lore come to, in canon people eat the fungas for food
@@leafy126.5 it's his own interpretation
@@leafy126.5 This is Kane's version of the Backrooms.
i mean it seems more like the voice that was telling the operator of the backroom machine to turn it off and if so then who is he talking to?
Good theory. I thought that he might be one of the scientists who had their faces blurred out earlier on, maybe specifically the one who tried to "shut it down" when the test went wrong but was obstructed by something.
It'd make sense for a creator (or *the* creator for all we know) of this space/the link to this space to be the one at fault for this mess.
p.s. cba to go back and check the clothing of the corpse and scientists, but they may be similar, and if they are, that probably supports this theory.
If Kane is sticking to the source, the Backrooms just existed before humans started to mess with it
Also: 38:41
The guy on the right went poof - you dont see him when the camera pans to the side at all despite him just leisurly walking along that path moments before - guess he no clipped
i'm glad i'm not the only one who thought of that
No you can still actually see the guy at around 38:54
@@Unforgiving_Eye where?
38:54, he's still there
@@Kaelem.. 38:54 at the right side of the screen.
33:44 I may be wrong on this, but if the back rooms is a liminal space, time might not work in the same way, or exist at all. So that may just be Kane. When he entered and then eaten (attacked? Infected?), this is where the “thing” put him. At the point in space and time where they came in. Probably to deter us from coming in and creating the timeline where Kane came from.
Kinda like closing a loop in the movie Looper.
The Back Rooms must exist somewhere outside or in between space and time for this to work i think. Hopefully he gets picked up by netflix so we can get a proper lore dump.
Thank you for the whole mold bit you had as the cold open, because I just saw a horror game that freaked me out waaaayy more than usual in another video and you immediately pulled me out of it. I appreciate this so much. 😭
yeah, the "dNch/dy=8000" has to do with heavy ion collisions. I just used my phone, took a picture, and flipped it.
also, in the collateral video, one of the people with the bases disappeared. take a look at 38:38
hMmMmmmM
You caught it!
Nope he definetly did not, the camera just panned away from him. In 38:54 hes at the edge of the screen
@@Anno023 The camera panned over way further than that guy could have gotten at that walking speed in that time and he was no where to be seen. The guy at the edge of the screen is someone else. They're even walking from a different direction. The guy at 38:38 definitely disappeared.
I think it says:
“Due to the elevation discrepancy
between panels 825 and 834, a small box
field is created”
I don't think it says "small box", rather it says "null box."
I think it says excessive not elevation
I agree with elevation
Could also be Lux field as in to due with electricity measurement of lux "A measurement of 1 lux is equal to the illumination of a one metre square surface that is one metre away from a single candle." fits the image too of a perfect flat square being seeing vs a cube outline.
Its been confirmed as: due to the elevation discrepancy between panels 225 and 234, a small kx field is created
"Due to the electron discrepancy between panel 225 and 214, a small [something] field is created."
kx
12:12 - If this is found footage the reason for the dates not being the same could be that the date in the video is the date of filming, while the date in the description is the date of release of the footage or when it was found.
This could be a slip up from the creators side but this theory at least has an explenation for it lore wise.

A backrooms analogue horror series is exactly what I was looking for, and Kane Pixels provides!
“The scariest thing about the backrooms is the upkeep”
And that’s why there are monsters trying to keep humans “out”
When you talk about the first film and the discrepancy between the dates, remember that it is a "found film" which means that the film was probably found at a date later than it was filmed.
was looking for this exact comment lmaoo
Yeah, I agree. I was also wondering- I haven’t looked into any extra lore so this could be proven wrong. But if this is another dimension, there’s a chance that there’s a difference in time. Where the backrooms runs slower than the world we know. So while the camera man was in there for what we know could’ve been a short time for him, it could’ve been two whole months for “our” dimension.
@@katthebookkitty589 i dont know much about the backrooms but im preetty sure that its canon that the backrooms are slower than the front rooms since people inside only have to eat and drink like once a month and theyll be all good
For anyone interested, since I'm not entirely confidant Matt realized this, Kane didn't create the backrooms. It start out as a single image with a caption on 4chan and gradually blew up into this community-driven universe of lore with its own wiki and everything, similar to SCP.
Honestly, I'd love to see a GTLive stream that's just Matt reading a few entries from that wiki.
In the other video mat mentioned the wiki and backrooms game so he does know that kane did not create it
They mainly care about only this iteration
Wish Matt would do SCP

Im very late but just incase anyone couldnt understand it, at 15:55, it says "due to the electronic descrepancy between panel 225 and 224, a null box feild is created"
I really like the thought that the experiments made or dragged the make rooms to them causing the dimensions to be so close you could just step in the wrong place at the wrong time and you just slip in the back rooms
the Backrooms feel somewhat close dreams i've had since i was a kid (and still do). uncanny, weird places that mixed memories of places i've been to and stuff i watched, like games and sometimes movies, and sometimes things that my mind just came up with, they give the same vibes as the backrooms without the whole scary stuff ofc. also, watching the lost footage video just made my irrational "phobia" if you can call it that, of no clipping in video games a lot stronger.
If you aren't already aware, there's a term for this! "Liminal spaces". The exact description differs a bit, but there's a subreddit you can browse and many videos you can watch if you're interested in the topic.
@@Cookie-qu1gs Liminal Spaces are such a cool concept, but it creeps me tf out
It's based on that, we all had those dreams.

The reason why the carpet and ceiling is wet is because Backrooms Level 8 is flooded, and the water is from Level 9, which sends water to the entire backrooms, and in one of the books, an strange substance infected the water, and spread to the entire backrooms, infecting the Levels with "Carpet Fluid".
(I know this from the Broogli YT channel, and I've know the backrooms for a while now)
23:14 the backwards text could be a CZcams link, the equal sign is what gets my theorist senses going but its not complete.
The intro is just a reminder that MatPat is a dad and you can’t prove me wrong.

The backrooms is part of the spiritual realm where demons exist we’re gonna see more of this because it’s eventually going to merge with the real world(Meterverse) is real /It’s going to be 7 years tribulation period where the government will try too force the Mark of the beast (curse)on us which can’t get us heaven revelation 13:18 Matthew 24:6

We're in the backrooms, and he starts freaking about because of the wall being wet? This is only at GTLive.
23:37 "It's backwards. It's mirror flipped, man" There's something ironic about mirror Matt not realizing that text was mirror flipped 🪞
All these endless rooms just make me thought of a dreamscape. All I can think of how often I had dreams with endless space.
I got a theory, on the opening scene with the board thing, I believe because time in the backrooms is different to reality, Kane was in the backrooms longer than we anticipate despite the video being short. Maybe months had past before he actually was taken by the monster, and still it could’ve taken awhile for his camera that did make it out to be found. So either way.
This backrooms lore is so interesting to watch and feels like a culmination of my childhood dreams come to life
I legit had this one recurring dream as a kid where I was falling through door after door after door in a house; I think maybe the house was on its side? Creepy af.
@@flexiblenerd why are you a flexible nerd? Weird combo
Correction, childhood nightmare, i havent felt safe since 2018.
childhood? the whole idea of the back rooms has only been around for a few years
Matt, that FBI warning is just something that shows up at the beginning of a lot of VHS tapes, I think you may have read into that one just a little bit more than needed.
I saw this in a comment on the original archive video. "Due to the elevation discrepancy between panels 225 and 234, a small kx field is created." A kx field is a type of electromagnetic field, according to the original comment
I know I'm late but I literally LOVE that Matt's wearing Saf's merch. It's so awesome to see two friends supporting each other😊❤️
Going through a labyrinth, using thread to find your way back, and there's a monster. Sounds alot like Theseus and the Minotaur.
True
So to defeat the monster and return safely, you gotta get a gf who knows about the backrooms? Cool
Doesn’t the monster just Grab you and rip you in half??
The fact that there's mold is kinda weird considering how empty and sterile the rest of the backrooms are. Are the people trying to access introducing the mold/life into the backrooms (maybe why the explorers are more concerned about finding something living?). Would be interesting to see if the mold thrives or if it further corrupts the backrooms and the items found there. The true origin of tripod man
Level 0 is described to be moist and have a moldy smell. Mold also exists.
@@kingofflames738 But the question still stands..where did the mold come from?? Mold doesn't just pop out of thin air..even with a moist area.
@@testerwulf3357 where did the beast of level 7 come from? How can Level 11 have an open sky? The backrooms don't make much sense so the mold was probably always there
The mold, in my opinion, is likely a result of the moisture from the dead body combined with the moist carpet. Remember, water generally creates mold, and the human body can absolutely contain fungi. And when you die, those lifeforms take over the body and its fluids, which upon death and decay, defuse into the environment. That's my theory at least.
@@testerwulf3357 It's a place with no laws of physics, you aren't going to get an answer.
39:03 Okay I could be wrong but, if you look closely at the closed up smoke coming out of the building, it disappears when the camera faces at that side of the building again.
There were 3 major fires.
Proof that Concrete is superior to dry wall even if it's more expensive in other Countries you can just clean the mold off without having to worry about any layers
In Santa Cruz there is a weird “energy spot” they capitalize on like a tourist attractions called the mystery spot which is creepy.
The Mystery Spot was in an episode of Supernstural as well ^__^
To all the janitors, builders, and servicemen of the backrooms, we salute you!
There are non cuze of a X.K. class destruction evet and the caos scale that makes monsters out of humans
P.S. where dose the carpet fluid come from???
@@laughingtoon1240 Hey now, just because they're monsters now, doesn't mean they can't still be janitors too. Those rooms would be way more dusty and disheveled if no-one was cleaning them 😂
@@crimsonnin2 imagine seeing that monster from the video sweeping while running ☠️
@1jinxeeD And making deafening roaring noises the whole time.
If you want to get into back rooms I would recommend the official wiki for info, other places arnt as reliable
How are the dates an "upsy bit", Matthew?
The film was made 91 and the camera that fell back to reality was found and the footage added 1996. So either the camera wasn't found for years or the backroom has a spacetime manipulation property.
Regardless there is no oopsie here at all. It fits perfectly fine.
I feel like the disconnect with the dates is actually the date the camera was found after it clipped back to reality after Kane was captured by the monster
Yeah that is the most likely conclusion idk why he didn't seem to come to it as well. Given the whole "found footage" thing it is pretty obvious.
@@pshyis They clearly were trying to find the Backrooms and took interest after finding the Footage, I mean it explains why there's that office in there in one of the videos but that could just be something Kane did for the heck of it, no actual meaning.
I feel like the "blame him" part kinda alludes to the idea that the backrooms are man-made and that dead guy just snuck inside earlier, and died in there because he got lost
so now that he introduced this mold into the backrooms, it started to grow and evolve
Matpat didn't seem to notice, but the guy they found on the floor looks a lot like the guy in the first missing persons flyer. I don't think he snuck in. I think he fell into the backrooms like the dude in the first video we saw, and he got lost and died there.
Good theory 👌
Out of all of this I learned that you can drag the closed captions for videos, thanks Matt!
It's been fun to watch MatPat slowly devolve into DadPat. Worried less about a dead person laid up on the wall, more worried about the mold ingress in the spare room.
25:38 "[a muon] is like an anti-electron" No, no, no! Subatomic particles are described by three qualities: mass, charge, and spin.
An anti-electron, called a positron, is a particle with the same mass and spin as an electron, but with a charge of +1 instead of -1. A muon, as described in your google search there, is what's called a _heavy_ electron. It has the same charge and spin as an electron, but a much greater _mass_
A muon is not an anti-electron.
you can't expect everyone to be physicist
@@bleddynwolf8463 true

@@bleddynwolf8463 I’m not a physicist yet I knew this
@@astirwirble4317 good for you, the vast majority of people however
I’m so glad you’re delving into this amazing arg! However, one small thing I noticed is that the reason the date on the original video is different from the description date is because I think the one on the video is when the incident happened, and the one in the description was when the camera was recovered. Either way, I’m excited to see your full theory on the backrooms! Kane’s series is so underrated, hope it gets some more recognition now!
Thats what i was thinking. If you slow and pause the video, you notice that the cameraman was taken by the monster and the camera alone fell out of the sky. It looked to be a empty forest maybe park area and since it is found footage, the date in the video is when it happened but in the description is when it was actually found.
Another idea, we know space is kind of warped, whose to say time isnt too?
23:42 could it be part of a youtube link the fillped backwards?
That's interesting! The same earthquake's aftershocks were so violent in my area (Maryland) that I was almost thrown into the trunk of the tree I was nearby. The open house for my fifth grade year was immediately canceled and we had just arrived lol
25:11 Muon Filters in this case might be used for "passing through" objects, and *may* be why people can phase through reality. It's a stretch, but it seems like the case. It could also be just an important mechanic for Backrooms tech.
I think the date in the video is the time he went into the back rooms and the date in the description is the date the footage was found, hence the name “found footage”
The fact there is only mold near the person despite the entire carpet being wet tells me that the mold was already on the human body when he came in, and it doesn’t exist here naturally.
First contact actually matches up with the time of the 1989 San Francisco earthquake, down to the minute. If you check the time on the video, the door opens a couple minutes after 5:00 pm on October 17th, 1989.
38:38 Am I crazy or did the guy on the right disappear after going out of frame? He is walking and they pan out a lot, so I assume he fell into the back rooms.
Reminder that The Backrooms isn’t just a thing Kane made up, it came from I think a 4chan post
I hope that Matpat includes the ENTIRETY of The Backrooms lore/sources in his eventual lore video
It seems he isn't doing a lore video on the backrooms, but a theory on Kane's iteration only. He will likely search more into the Backrooms for context, but the video will be dedicated to Kane's series
That would not be possible
Since the Backrooms has no unified lore, its like SCP; everyone has their own canon
12:40 you might say it later, and somebody might have already said it in the comments, but there isn't any time disparity if we consider the date in the description to be when the tape was found.
