Hello there, everybody! Today I'll be rambling on about the famous Backrooms trend and it's broader relation to the evolution of horror media. While it might seem just like a simple fad, I think there is more depth to it than one might realize, I'd go so far as to say it is one of the most original horror concepts we've had in a long time. We'll touch on psychological horror, superstition, space and aliens, artificial intelligence and more.
Music by me, as always (┌・。・)┌♪ https://muldered.bandcamp.com/
