What are “Backrooms”?

These are quintessential Backrooms images. (Bob Magritz)

The Backrooms are more of a feeling than a true place.

The term came from late 2010’s Internet culture, and typically accompanies an image of a yellow wallpapered room, with flourescent lights and hallways that are seemingly endless and labyrinthine. Think of an office building but much, much weirder.

“Madison Square Mall at the end was to me peak liminal in the Huntsville area. As far as now, any parking garage at night with few or no cars like at Huntsville Hospital.”
