- ... that research suggests liminal spaces (example pictured) appear unsettling by falling in the uncanny valley of physical places? Source: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0272494422000895?via%3Dihub

Older than the meme
[edit]The term "liminal space" has been used in art and architecture theory for years — longer than the internet meme discussed here. Can anyone suggest sources to give this concept a longer history? Jno.skinner (talk) 22:06, 17 January 2023 (UTC)
- As well to add onto this, I don't think the backrooms is "the" thing the kickstarted the trend of liminal space imagery on the internet.
- The text of this page suggests that the spread of liminal space imagery on the internet started after The Backrooms got popular on 4chan, but I don't think that is completely accurate as I very clearly remember seeing posts of liminal spaces and posts talking about the concept on Tumblr as far back as 2017 (have checked my old blog). The Backrooms did definitely contribute to the popularity and spread of the concept, but I think it is more likely that the concept of liminal spaces experienced a buildup in popularity before that on other places on the internet before exploding in popularity. 65.94.113.226 (talk) 00:50, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
"Nostalgic appeal"
[edit]The nostalgic appeal mentioned in the opening paragraph makes the mistake of including within the definition children's playspaces from the previous few decades, which are familiar to (some) viewers from their own childhoods, but which are no longer used, and hence seem sadly abandoned. Whereas, people from Europe have no direct awareness of these kinds of spaces (except from TV, or from the Internet), and their only reaction to them is one of strangeness and alienation.

The Shining
[edit]Is the Overlook Hotel from the film considered an example? At least in the way the empty hotel was utilised in the plot… SinoDevonian (talk) 13:54, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
