  • Liminal Spaces have become quite a phenomenon in recent months; oddly reminiscent of the cursed image and the Backrooms movements of years gone by. But why do liminal spaces make you feel a certain way, and why do different ones affect different people?

    My definition of liminal space is "any place where goes well with Earthbound music".

    for me personally liminal spaces feel far less about nostalgia and much more about dreams, I have had so many dreams in weird unsettlingly empty places and liminal spaces have that exact same feeling, a place that you shouldn't be in, a place that isn't real and does not welcome you, where the laws of the universe start to break down...

    • @MagnumEvolved

      Agreed. I’ve had so many dreams in big hotels, weird complexes, uncannily vast bathrooms, trains, planes, airports. The images are reminiscent of dream locations. I get no nostalgic feeling from any liminal space image.

  • @puzzLEGO
    @puzzLEGO 2 роки тому +6

    Nailed it. not many other videos can identify everything that makes a liminal space what it is.
    I think one aspect that adds to the subversion of being devoid of humans is the artificial nature of it. 90's architecture was artificial. Lighting, materials, even fake grass is used in liminal space. the subversion comes when we associate the scene with humans, but the scene doesn't provide any. The darkness also contributes to the contrast with the artificial lighting. There's never any sunlight in liminal spaces, and the one's I have seen are literally a fake sky.

  • @bleuberri04
    @bleuberri04 2 роки тому +6

    i honestly want to research how liminal spaces can affect derealization when i go into psychology. derealization is a disorder that usually stems from trauma that the brain is trying to protect you from, so it forces you into a sort of liminal state of mind. i have derealization and have always had intense, deep gut fear reactions of paranoia and flight response when i watch liminal space or backrooms content. ive noticed that a lot of other people who have derealization have similar, more extreme reactions to seeing the content. usually we start to dissociate (a trauma response) or have uncommonly high fear responses. ive also noticed that in traumacore posts, liminal space is used a lot as a setting. traumacore is often used to help cope with trauma, usually childhood trauma, by creating liminal images reminiscent of one's trauma. it can be extremely triggering for some people or helpful for others.
    i have a theory that liminal spaces affect people who have derealization or another dissociative disorder a lot differently than those without it. i think it might be because it reminds us of our childhood, which for most of us is the source of trauma. certain liminal spaces can trigger memories of that trauma, causing the different reactions we have.
    i also want to research how people with memory loss interact with liminal spaces. i have amnesia of before i was 10, and pretty vague memories of after. i noticed that i don't get as severe reactions to things that are typically in the younger childhood experience, though its still vaguely there subconsciously. what i can remember has a greater effect. i have a theory that depending on how someone developed memory loss, it changes how they react to liminal spaces. i think people who develop it from drug use, brain injury, or genetic conditions wont have the subconcious reaction while people who developed memory loss because of trauma will have subconscious reactions.
    this was the ramblings of an aspiring neuropsychologist, thank you

    Liminal Spaces have never been unsettling to me. At least not the ones that aren't meant to look obviously creepy. I watch this video and think "hey, I legit wanna hang out with a bunch of friends for a while in this photo". I can't be the only one who thinks this. Had no idea this phenomenon is so recent btw, I could've started the trend ffs.

    • @Odaniboi
      @Odaniboi 3 роки тому +14

      That’s just it though. You want to bring friends, but the way that most look at liminal space is as if they were alone, because of how vacant the place is. Almost as if taken by the only person left on earth. Add that to the definition that was provided in this video, it can instil a pretty unreal feeling.

    I’ve walked through a irl liminal space. There’s a place called Greenacres Mall and it’s always empty, save for the few people that walk through it to get to Guitar Center, TJ Maxx, or even the THUMP gym on the other side. My brother and I walked through it for the hell of it, and I was telling him that this place feels like one of those “Strangely familiar but unnerving images” videos, because it gives off a melancholy feeling. It was cool, I should have taken a picture.

    I'm 40 and I feel nostalgia for places that look out of the 70s-90s. I was born in the early 80s but my home and some places I'd go to would've been years long holdovers from the 70s such as shag carpet and knotty wood paneled walls. Those kinda places are familiar yet like a distant memory from my childhood.

    I saw my suburban mall slowly dwindle and die during my teen years. It was originally built in the 50's or 60's, and by the time I was old enough to go to school in the late 90's it was still up and running with several stores, bars, restaurants, a pharmacy, hairdressers, a massage spot, a flea market type store, a grocery store, a kiosk etc. But as time went by during elementary school, I saw the first signs of it slowly dying. When I was in year 7-9 the majority of the stores and restaurants and services either moved elsewhere or just stopped their business altogether. A few places hung on to dear life in the building, but by the time I finished upper secondary school, I knew the place was doomed. I had a walk down memory lane in the now very quiet building, taking it in for the last time. There was graffiti and signs of malicious destruction everywhere, and some doors were bolted shut to prevent people from breaking in and entering. A while later, the whole mall was torn to the ground. A new, very modern building was erected on the other side of the street. It doesn't have that same "mall feel", but it is dominated by a big grocery store and a hypermodern library, along with a few other smaller businesses like a driving school and a Subway. Up until recently I was able to see and "walk around" the old mall on Google Street View, but they have now updated the footage so it is gone forever, existing only in my memories. Times have changed a lot.

    The picture at 0:22 is a hotel in London I stayed in. It's just as creepy in person. The architecture is baffling. The green space that looks like a courtyard is actually the enclosed roof of the bar below. There is no way out into that space. You can only look down on it from the third floor elevated walkway. You never see the sky, and the windows are all internal.

    This is more like my Dreams and what I see when im a baby and Now it happend to me again with my dreams 2 Times now legitimately! Its like someone is luring me in there. And then when I was back like its always the same Always creepy always alone, And I didn't think thru this. Like someone is watching me in the darkness, I felt im not alone... And then when I reach the exit of the school it began to feel no sense because Im like cycling to where I began and it kinda have a Entity on it. I felt something and cold breath someones following me I can't put my finger on it and then suddenly the lights are flickering And then a loud bang on the door That I can hear but I know I need to investigate now when Im now at the door, The door was open in a mysterious Force and then loud screaming Is across the hallway and then something is now Chasing me now I ran to the door where Ive Started and then now. Im at a empty daycare... Its like my memories are coming back one by one and I saw a lighter it was so dark I cant see when I light it I saw a slide an empty looking slide... It was the only interior that I saw unless the chairs and ball pit. And then I got teleported again and now im in a empty gas station a little gas pump and a convinence store, I was really comfused and then I see people or cars walking by but they might not see me I was yelling for help but the others are keep chatting, Its considered that I wad dead but when I was teleported again I was in a dark school hallway again but when I stepped one more its water. So I assume I was in the swimming pool but its soo dark I lit up my torch again and then I saw the door way out when I got closer to the door a hand mysterious grabbed me at the foot I was trying to hold the door handle but they got me. I was now at the real world Im now in my bed I saw my mom and dad sleeping and then Now its 5:48 AM in the morning I cannot sleep anymore I keep remembering my dreams that what happend and now suddenly its now 7:24 AM now we all are now awake and my mom saw me my eyes are keep wide and open and I tell her everything what happend and they just laughed... I saw it in my real eyes But I kept it a secret to my classmates but now im documenting this its real but Im really True 100% but they all laughed so I just forget it but It did it to me again in August 2 and 7 2022 Idk what is the purpose... But why did they bring me back? I know theres always a purpose so If i got bring back I might go to deeper and deeper until I have the anwser If i got that same dream again I might document more in this coments (Signing off)
