To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to enjoy OG backrooms

    By u/Plane-Assumption2926, its the Rick and Morty copypasta but changed to backrooms.

    To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to enjoy OG backrooms. The horror is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of liminal and psychological horror, most of the terror will go over a typical viewer’s head. There is also the backrooms’s horrors of the infinite, which is deftly woven into the 4chan post’s description, the liminal horror draws heavily from The Yellow Wallpaper and House of Leaves. OG backrooms fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of the horror, to realized they're not just scary- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike OG backrooms are truly idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the horror in the Backrooms existencial horror; “Endless yellow office halls with no threats,” which itself is a cryptic reference to H.P.Lovecrafts Cool Air Im smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as 4Chan’s genius unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools… how I pity them. 😂 And yes by the way, I do think the backrooms movie should just be two hours of characters losing their mind. And no, you cannot see it. Its for the OG fans only-- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.
