YES i do love that idea of what if the Complex is this weird eldritch horror and is like a "living" thing and the bacteria that have been mutated and transformed act to keep the Complex "healthy"
@@LittleRedSM My head canon is that the Complex is some 5th dimensional being that A-Sync somehow tapped into.

For me, it's what makes the most sense for what the Complex is.
RIGHT!? Thats what i love about how creative people are. all it takes is one image to be compelling enough for someone to make something completely unique and captivating
for the "LifeForm" the stick thing creature, it actually say things, if you can under stand it. it says things like "DONT GO PLEASE" or "SLOW DOWN". it mainly just screams "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"
yessss i saw someone else mention this and it's so haunting. it really really bothers me when i think about it. I wonder if it's either mimicking what it hears, or if it does amalgamate bodies then maybe it's manipulating the vocal chords?
That's just a rumor. I don't hear it, my fiance who is a professional sound engineer tweaked with the audio and couldn't make out any words either. I'm pretty sure that's just a myth that resulted from fans overthinking things.
Some things I wanna mention that Kane said in his discord: -The Lifeforms/Bacteria according to Kane are apparently "not zombies" -The Out of Sync playlist is officially "complete" meaning no more songs will be added. However this doesnt mean he wont continue adding backrooms tracks to the fuller OST which extends beyond Out of Sync (Out of Sync seems to be solely focused on Ivan's story)
Oooooooo okay!! Ty for bringing that up, i always appreciate when people from Kane’s server talk about comments he made regarding the story, especially since i can never find it myself 😂
@@LittleRedSM oh, one more detail i forgot to mention, kane had also confirmed that the marble in prototype did not disappear. its just hard to see with the video noise. Seems like whatever the marble/threshold was made of it more of a catalyst for the magnetic reaction rather than the target to be sent somewhere (we see in The Third Test that even after the violent yellow light occurs, the threshold wall is seemingly undamaged, like the marble)

Can't watch the entire video due to lack of free time but my take on it is that the backrooms is by default a shapeless dimension they discovered that works on the principle of gradually transfiguring itself into something familiar to people o a specific person that was unfortunate to end up in it, so in other words the environment takes shape of people's memories. I've seen similiar theories posted around reddit and discord so I can't take credit for that but this is what makes most sense to me. I believe in Kane's genius way of storytelling and he won't go for anything cheap. Like I said can't watch the whole video but I bet you came to the same conclusion as me that the green glow behind the famous door or any green light for that matter is the phenomenon of backrooms expanding / chaging. Kane said in one of the interviews, don't remember which one specifically, that what that guy in Pitfalls saw was time sensitive so that would fit the description perfectly. He told Marvin to come quickly so that's why I think he was there as it was happening. What's more, the same principle applies to lifeforms. Again, Kane said once that the whole place works based on strictly specified rules that are not currently revelaled. I think the previous paragraph roughly explains it but the same principle applies to lifeforms. In my view - lifeforms are something like an echo of people who died in there. Their physical form consists of bacteria that the dimension uses to create some resemblence of a human being while their mind is the memory of that person which is now trapped in there forever, condemned to wandering these empty halls for all eternity. They run at the cameraman screaming in hope for them to free them from this prison. And last but not least there's the plot of Ivan Beck who according to Kane is the true main character of the series. In my opinion and many others the series will eventually take turn to make certain plot points personal to really flesh out his persona and get him more involved into the plot. That said I'm really skeptikal that Ivan launched this project in order to acoomodate the needs of humanity for more space. He most likely has some personal motive to explore this otherworldly space. Why - we will find out sooner or later.

oh my gosh thank you!!!! that means so so much to me and I'm glad you really liked the video!! seeing comments like yours is so motivating and i hope you stick around for more fun content!
You GOT to get a closer look into who Ivan Beck is. There is a lot that can possibly be extracted from him, especially from the Out of Sync soundtrack.
her voice is so calming and smooth this video really helped to quench the thirst for more backrooms/complex content thanks for making this video u gained a new subscriber
Thank you so much!!! I didn't think I'd learn this much from Kane's series either, I love how a lot of the sci-fi elements of the series isn't entirely sci-fi.
Thank god someone actually did research that the series absolutely deserves! As i heavily disliked Matpats theories on the series, as he either got some things wrong, made up a few things, or even outright disprove his own theory in his own words on the FF2/overflow theory. We really needed you🙏
hahah i appreciate that! Funny enough, MatPat's videos actually inspired me to do my own theorizing when he first started getting mainstream attention. Also other creators like Wendigoon and Night Mind. Plus, I don't really see a lot of femme creators who talk about this sort of stuff and I absolutely love talking about it so I figured I may as well start posting! 😆
53:56 ...Green Flash... Hopy shit, all of this goes back to the old pirate tale about the Green Flash being someone *_transitioning from one world into another_* (from dead to living world, or between the Complex and baseline reality)...
I could probably go on and on about the Out of Sync playlist because of the insane amount of lore it has because of its leitmotifs and thumbnails (Canon in D leitmotifs, paintings in 2 songs made by the guy that made the painting featured in found footage #2, the sea references, Ivan's whole story, Lewis baltz photos, autopsy report TV sound)
The huge solar storms happening recently would be the perfect time to access The Backrooms. Coincidentally, the real-life location where the first Backrooms photo was taken was discovered very recently.... Synchronicity can be pretty scary, sometimes....
I made a theory on the lifeforms a couple years ago Every entity is a bacteria, or, what amalgamation it is, with a body connected to a motion seeking camera. We can see in motion captured, multiple movement seeking cameras, and a blob of the lifeform. The lifeform is seeking a host to capture, which is why we see some sort of blob. Why is it JUST the cameras? Well, the writing, "Dont move, stay still" would make a lot more sense. *They can only see movement.* Just like the cameras! And at the end of ff1, you get a close up of the lifeforms face. It looks somewhat similar to one of the cameras, we can also see, right before the survivor falls into a hole, the lifeforms arms look eerily similar to a tripods legs. For the other instances of the lifeform, its somewhat the same, except for the body. At least, but the face. We dont know what it looks like, for sure, but we do know, it moves when the cameraman moves. (Or, when they get into view of the bacteria, which means something in the complex moves) Probably means nothing but, the resemblances are there.
I find the sunken earth theory fascinating as well. It basically goes with the "I Remember" ending with the "You've always been here" which is fan theory that either the old earth actually sunk during the 1976 mirror incident creating one over top of the other or that it all turned to energy. What I think what was beyond the pitfall carpet section was "outside" probably. This is Kane's backroom and not the creepy pasta so you shouldn't suddenly end up in a amusement park or something.
Wait until you hear what I've got cookin up for my theory on The Complex! I didnt consider the old earth sinking in Overflow, but that's actually similar to one of my theories about The Complex itself!
This is a really great video, I feel like a lot of analysis videos of different media only approach speculation on a narrative level, but to back it up with real science is super cool, subscribed right away 😊
I just notice 45:44 the room has a crack in them kinda like the the green room when it starts cracking this shows that the green light can also be whats infecting the people and the 2 times its notibly mention is when the lifeform shows up so this thing could be infecting them and the first guy in found footage one we never see killed so it could have many diffrent ways of infecting
This is such a well put together video holy crap! Your point about the bacteria was actually really interesting and the implications are something nobody else has talked about yet. The ONLY mistake i noticed was that you called Found Footage #2 “I remember” at 35:28 lol
Well thought out and very well explained, genuinely enjoyed your theories, and you made me think about this series in a very different way. Terrific job.
Great work on this one. I believe you have a lot more material to cover if you want to deep dive in the backrooms and what Kane Pixels reveals. What would be the Government do with this, and the legal matters, and story telling aspect of the series. Also if you have some insights on the movie's whereabouts, would be great :)
The depth of this video is insane! Way more insightful than I was expecting. After watching this, I've become even more interested in the concept. Thank you ✦
Thank you for making all this effort and for providing links to sources in the description for further reading. It really is appreciated and I hope more people can recognize the effort you put into these. I hope you know it does mean something I like to think
aw no thank YOU for watching it!! I love doing research and learning about new topics that fascinate me. I feel like every connecting point I learn about in this series is only fueling that appreciation, so I can definitely relate :D
amazing video, very entertaining and interesting, im right now half-way through. I love the fact that this video is somewhat educative, as I've now learned what gram-positive and gram-negative is
Ahhhh thank you!! I also learned what those terms meant during research for this video 😂 it was so cool to find little nuggets of info and have eureka moments 🥳
Kane Pixels is genuinely one of my favourite music artists of all time, Wendigoon's description of it sums it all up perfectly. Otherworldly, tense, yet oddly calming at times.
Yesssss. He's so versatile in his music too. Like I don't think there's many artists that can go from the beautiful and emotional piano in Rest Forever in This Dead End, to the intense theatrical vibe of Holy Land Algorithm, to the fun club mix of the Backrooms OST mashup
@@LittleRedSM I'm a big fan of his Out of Sync and Daemon playlists. He introduced me to Daemon as well, which is a fantastic book series as well. And another thing, this video is great. Sums up most of my personal theory down to a T.
Its funny, I was thinking about making an hour long analysis video myself, about Ivan Beck and how he may have lost his house (lots of house imagery throughout the series/ost thumbnails, getting enveloped by the green light, etc) I had dubbed it 'The House Theory' and no one seems to be talking about the house stuff, and I honestly believe its a big source of Ivan's trauma/motivation; to find what he lost that the backrooms took from him, his home, his belongings, potentially his family. I'm wondering if you've noticed this too. Most notably, the thumbnail for "Everything" on Kane's music channel features an upsidedown distorted house surrounded by numbers. These numbers feature a sequence of 5 digits that are a perfect duplicate of the digits from the secret home.mov video kane made, which is what tipped me off for the whole house rabbithole, since it also features a brief shot of an upside down house attic. I think being upsidedown/inverted/mirrored might be symbolism for being taken by the complex.
I've been thinking about this *a lot* too, the notes and stuff i have for that specific theory, which i'll go over in my next theory video, and what i've noticed with the house imagery, being forgotten, etc. etc.
@@bunkley923 i thought so too! But i think it’d look more like it was “falling” but while the legs did kinda look like they were flailing it looked more… steady? If thats the right word?
Lifeform just like me for real 😭 On a real note though, love this genuinely. Only 15 minutes in and this is helping me grasp this kinda stuff better than I could before with like any other kind of "The Mysteries of Kane's Backrooms" type video than ever before, so thanks!!!!!
absolutely wonderful video!! you patched everything together very continuously and this felt like a real scientific lecture. and these theories are fascinating, too!
The biggest thing to be ready for is that you need to be ready for the movie to change things up. I'm pretty sure he moved to The Oldest View because of the movie deal, and movies are such a different thing. But I hope you get more to work with regardless! If you haven't yet, I'd suggest you check out Into the Hyperverse. Like Kane, he's doing his own thing with it. Unlike Kane, you're not getting an external narrative, but rather a twisting narrative from intelligent creatures within the expanded backrooms. He's amazingly good at it like Kane, but doesn't worry quite so much on realism. It's also a bigger timesink because his videos are now ranging up to 50 minutes in length.
Yessssss im so excited for the movie. I know Kane said that besides the movie he also wants to do a tv series on the Backrooms series so im super hyped to see where this goes next!! And as for TOV i know hes doing something big with it rn but im not sure what! What i do know is that the construction for that shopping district is finally starting so maybe he’ll make TOV irl! 😂
Nice! The current hypothesis for Ediacaran ecosystems (before the Cambrian explosion in hard body parts) is that the sea floor was covered in bacterial biofilm mats a few mm to several centimetres deep, and the Ediacaran life forms currently known from their impression fossils rooted through those mats. As animals evolved from tiny, tiny burrowing wormy things into slightly larger wormy things they may have disrupted those bacterial mats and helped destabilise and wipe out the Ediacaran biota.
its really interesting that you mention that, because one of the shots from the series is a close up on a mug with "MLML" on it. MLML stands for Moss Landing Marine Laboratory, and they do tons of marine research. I was looking for another connection to my theory and this comment helped me make that connection so thank you for mentioning it!! And thank you for watching! Im glad you enjoyed the video :D
During the Autopsy report, I thought the reason of death was an entity due to the first found footage's very last part. Like.... Talk about a jumpscare, but moving on, it's safe to assume that these entities kill people. As for the black stuff, Maybe it was the blood altered in some way, that was my theory, BTW, thanks for changing the way I see the first found footage's monster.
i've been waiting for a while for someone to do a very in epth analysis on specifically kane pixel's backrooms universe. this video is going straight into my blood
i’ve been watching this video while doing tasks over a few days but today i finally looked at your channel and i was SO SHOCKED to see how small of a channel you really are. great quality and amazing video overall !!!
It's interesting to note that both bacteria mentioned in the video can come from the human intestinal track, it would explain how the bacteria entered the complex, though why it mutated to turn into the creatures is still unknown, idk thought I'd mention it(if u did I prolly missed it bad listening skills lol) anyway AMAZING video i love to see stuff like this and it actually makes sense!
I hope Tom or MatPat from Game Theory Sees this and reacts to it in GTLive or does a whole episode on it, because this is AMAZING. I’m really excited for the movie, and I can’t wait for it.
My Theory On The Life Form:There Is Actually Multiple Life Form Sightings In Found Footage #1 First One:When Kane Looks Behind Him And Sees Something Go Out Of View It's Actually Something Called "The Watching Lifeform" Second One:I Don't Actually Know Where This One Is But I Think It Crawls Without Legs Just A Tail And Arms Third One:It's Called "The Hunting Lifeform"The One That Attacks In FF1 Fourth One:This One Is In Motion Detected Which Is Called "The Lifeform King" Fifth One:This Is "The Impersonator" Like The Hunter It Attacks Except This One Can Mimic People's Voices Sixth One:In FF2 The One Here Is "The Lifeform Nest" Which Creates Hunters,Watchers,Impersonators And Identifiers(which are the second one)
I'm sure someone has already mentioned this but one thing about the Lifeform sensing movement and sound...A Sync introduced those motion and sound-sensing cameras into the complex during "Motion Captured." It may be that these amalgamations also include the cameras since these things have a bio-mechanical look to them. Especially the original FF lifeform which had a weird tripod look to it when it was walking around near the end.
This was extremely well made and it packed a lot of information. I learned a lot about a series that i’ve mostly experienced in passing. This was awesome. Thanks for sharing all this information!
Amazing theory! This is probably one of the best backrooms theory videos out there. I even had a similar theory about the bacteria where if you stay in the backrooms for too long your body would decay and you would become the bacteria. I can’t wait to see more vids like this soon!
I'd like to put another theory in, for the first Backrooms video, it was probably a style design and also a realism style, fluorescent lights in old office complex areas used to have different heat temperature / the thing that makes light, welp, light with color, and as a 3d artist myself, is probably what happened at first but kane got a dream about it or an idea about it probably during the third test or first contact, he most likely just had a very rough scrap lore idea of the series
You gained a subscriber, I absolutely loved this I've been watching this whole video during my studies and I can't tell which I'm learning more from, my work or this video lol, great job, super underrated!
Absolutely amazing video. I can't believe how well put together this video is, yet you don't have a huge fan base (yet)! Please keep up the wonderful work^^
personally I think the green light occurs when there's instability within the complex itself, so basically the code just breaks and it just can't function anymore, or possibly the complex expanding. great video
I don't think anyone else noticed this yet but there is one particular, very hard to discern moment in pitfalls that if true, gives some of the best evidence for the idea that the lifeforms can hear and mimic. In pitfalls, when Marvin is entering the hallway immediately after the room with the road signs, I SWEAR I can hear something faintly sounding like a TV commercial for "American Express" or something. (Go to 11:28 on the video and try to listen for something going on about "your card" and "the United States") That and the fact that the lifeform seems to be rambling to itself in the moments before it confronts Marvin. In all likelihood, I think the sound of that commercial was either an auditory bleed through from normal reality on it's own, or the lifeform heard it as a result of the bleed through.
Thank you!!! I think the past 10 days have been sort of preparing me for that because I'm still in shock every time i get a break from editing and come to check on stuff
Great video! Super in depth theories, I’d love to hear more! My initial theory was that the green light was the complex writing more of itself. I think it makes sense for why the walls were expanding slightly at the end of FF2 and why the green light only seems to occur in areas of the complex that haven’t been traveled to before. I think your theory is great and definitely has more evidence to it, but I do wonder, why only green light? Visible light is all colors, since any colors that we can see are by definition, visible light. Also, why don’t we see green light in FF1 and FF2 when no clipping is occurring? Or when the null zone is called out in that image and outlined in red. I think those would be obvious places for Kane to add in the green light, but he didn’t. Because of this, I think there is some possibly more bizarre reason for the green light, possibly one that we can’t even imagine at this point in the series. Again, great video and great theory! Can’t wait to hear more
Red I love the amount of energy you put into this video. I’m totally sold on your theory. I think that the fact that the lifeform has 4 limbs and a head which loosely resemble a human supports your theory even more, it would seem odd that they take on that shape if they weren’t somehow predisposed to expanding in such a specific way. I imagine that a dead dog would take on a more canine shape as a regrown lifeform. I have started a series that’s reinventing the backrooms, I won’t say much, but I would love to hear your interpretation on my episode 0, which is a two minute video on my channel titled DYING SHIPS. I look forward to your future theories and projects :)
Omg thank you so much!!! 🥹🫶🏻 Now that you bring it up, what *would* happen to an animal who has fallen into The Complex? If Hay Bacillus is commonly found in human gastrointestinal tracts, could another common bacteria that is found in animals also undergo the same process but end up as something different? I’ll be sure to check it out!! 🥳🫶🏻
Always cool to see an LHC mention hahaha, great job on the physics explanations too! I remember messing around with ATLAS and some ALICE data back at university for some research, particle physics is quirky as all fuck. Happy to see somebody throwing all that weird shit into somethinh that makes sense and not some weird spiritual grift lmao Oh, and on the whole energy building till a breaking point, the LHC did kinda work on something similar to that. The studies I was working on mostly involved the breakdown of subatomic structures in the face of massive amounts of energy. Basically just colliding protons at super high energies/speeds, and seeing the gluon field break down and spew out a bunch of quarks and the like, and ATLAS/ALICE gave up looooots of data on that sort of stuff. Cool link maybe? Who knows lmao Keep up the great work!

oh my gosh thank you!!!! that means so so much to me and I'm glad you really liked the video!! seeing comments like yours is so motivating and i hope you stick around for more fun content!
You GOT to get a closer look into who Ivan Beck is.
There is a lot that can possibly be extracted from him, especially from the Out of Sync soundtrack.
Stay tuned then 👀
my name is ivan beck
@@MBuildsCR real
her voice is so calming and smooth this video really helped to quench the thirst for more backrooms/complex content thanks for making this video u gained a new subscriber
thank you so much!!! thats so nice of you!! :')
@@LittleRedSM what can i say i speak the truth
THIS VIDEO IS SO UNDERRATED. HOW DOES THIS ONLY HAVE 200 LIKES?!
Omg thank you!!! 😭😭😭🥹
i didn't expect to learn so much about bateria and physics from a backrooms video. Awesome channel, keep it up!
Thank you so much!!! I didn't think I'd learn this much from Kane's series either, I love how a lot of the sci-fi elements of the series isn't entirely sci-fi.
Thank god someone actually did research that the series absolutely deserves!
As i heavily disliked Matpats theories on the series, as he either got some things wrong, made up a few things, or even outright disprove his own theory in his own words on the FF2/overflow theory.
We really needed you🙏
hahah i appreciate that! Funny enough, MatPat's videos actually inspired me to do my own theorizing when he first started getting mainstream attention. Also other creators like Wendigoon and Night Mind. Plus, I don't really see a lot of femme creators who talk about this sort of stuff and I absolutely love talking about it so I figured I may as well start posting! 😆
Great video! This is such a creative story I wish I was this creative
hahaha thank you so much!! Im sure you are, you gotta find your muse is all :D
53:56 ...Green Flash... Hopy shit, all of this goes back to the old pirate tale about the Green Flash being someone *_transitioning from one world into another_* (from dead to living world, or between the Complex and baseline reality)...
WAIT WHAT?! Can you link it, i'd love to pour over every detail!!!
@@LittleRedSM The entire third _Pirates of the Caribbean_ movie is centered around it!
How do you ONLY have 500 subs!?!? You deserve WAYYY more!
We’re at like 762 now and counting im scared 😂😂😂
I could probably go on and on about the Out of Sync playlist because of the insane amount of lore it has because of its leitmotifs and thumbnails
(Canon in D leitmotifs, paintings in 2 songs made by the guy that made the painting featured in found footage #2, the sea references, Ivan's whole story, Lewis baltz photos, autopsy report TV sound)
What's up with Ivan, anyway?
The huge solar storms happening recently would be the perfect time to access The Backrooms. Coincidentally, the real-life location where the first Backrooms photo was taken was discovered very recently.... Synchronicity can be pretty scary, sometimes....
Kane has the opportunity to do the funniest thing rn honestly
I made a theory on the lifeforms a couple years ago
Every entity is a bacteria, or, what amalgamation it is, with a body connected to a motion seeking camera.
We can see in motion captured, multiple movement seeking cameras, and a blob of the lifeform.
The lifeform is seeking a host to capture, which is why we see some sort of blob.
Why is it JUST the cameras?
Well, the writing, "Dont move, stay still" would make a lot more sense.
*They can only see movement.*
Just like the cameras!
And at the end of ff1, you get a close up of the lifeforms face. It looks somewhat similar to one of the cameras, we can also see, right before the survivor falls into a hole, the lifeforms arms look eerily similar to a tripods legs.
For the other instances of the lifeform, its somewhat the same, except for the body. At least, but the face. We dont know what it looks like, for sure, but we do know, it moves when the cameraman moves. (Or, when they get into view of the bacteria, which means something in the complex moves)
Probably means nothing but, the resemblances are there.
This is incredible production quality for such a small channel. Bravo!
Oh my gosh thank you!!! 🥹 that genuinely means so much to me, i was so worried at to how good it would come out. Im so glad you enjoyed it!! 🥰
I find the sunken earth theory fascinating as well. It basically goes with the "I Remember" ending with the "You've always been here" which is fan theory that either the old earth actually sunk during the 1976 mirror incident creating one over top of the other or that it all turned to energy. What I think what was beyond the pitfall carpet section was "outside" probably. This is Kane's backroom and not the creepy pasta so you shouldn't suddenly end up in a amusement park or something.
Wait until you hear what I've got cookin up for my theory on The Complex! I didnt consider the old earth sinking in Overflow, but that's actually similar to one of my theories about The Complex itself!
This is a really great video, I feel like a lot of analysis videos of different media only approach speculation on a narrative level, but to back it up with real science is super cool, subscribed right away 😊
Thank you so much!!! 🥹🥹💜
I just notice 45:44 the room has a crack in them kinda like the the green room when it starts cracking this shows that the green light can also be whats infecting the people and the 2 times its notibly mention is when the lifeform shows up so this thing could be infecting them and the first guy in found footage one we never see killed so it could have many diffrent ways of infecting
This is INSANELY well done, and I mean it! Every detail you compiled and made digestible is INSANE
This is such a well put together video holy crap! Your point about the bacteria was actually really interesting and the implications are something nobody else has talked about yet. The ONLY mistake i noticed was that you called Found Footage #2 “I remember” at 35:28 lol
Most educational Backrooms Vid I've ever seen
Well thought out and very well explained, genuinely enjoyed your theories, and you made me think about this series in a very different way. Terrific job.
Great work on this one. I believe you have a lot more material to cover if you want to deep dive in the backrooms and what Kane Pixels reveals. What would be the Government do with this, and the legal matters, and story telling aspect of the series. Also if you have some insights on the movie's whereabouts, would be great :)
The depth of this video is insane! Way more insightful than I was expecting. After watching this, I've become even more interested in the concept. Thank you ✦
I came expecting a fun theory about the backrooms. I left with that and a better biology lecture than I ever got at school.
LOL that is so kind of you to say, thank you so much!!
I actually love this video so much, explains everything so well!
Thank you so much!!! That means a lot to hear :'D
I love these kinds of videos, really well done too.
Thank you for making all this effort and for providing links to sources in the description for further reading. It really is appreciated and I hope more people can recognize the effort you put into these. I hope you know it does mean something I like to think
aw no thank YOU for watching it!! I love doing research and learning about new topics that fascinate me. I feel like every connecting point I learn about in this series is only fueling that appreciation, so I can definitely relate :D
Nice video! I love seeing people making theory videos on Kane’s series!
Thank you so much!!!! I love the series so I'm very happy to speculate :D
amazing video, very entertaining and interesting, im right now half-way through. I love the fact that this video is somewhat educative, as I've now learned what gram-positive and gram-negative is
Ahhhh thank you!! I also learned what those terms meant during research for this video 😂 it was so cool to find little nuggets of info and have eureka moments 🥳
Omg someone finally looking into the out of sync playlist
Oh my god, this video is SO good! The editing, the length, and this theorizing is perfect! Seriously, Best theory video I’ve ever seen.
Oh my gosh thank you so much!!!! 🥹
Kane Pixels is genuinely one of my favourite music artists of all time, Wendigoon's description of it sums it all up perfectly. Otherworldly, tense, yet oddly calming at times.
Yesssss. He's so versatile in his music too. Like I don't think there's many artists that can go from the beautiful and emotional piano in Rest Forever in This Dead End, to the intense theatrical vibe of Holy Land Algorithm, to the fun club mix of the Backrooms OST mashup
@@LittleRedSM I'm a big fan of his Out of Sync and Daemon playlists. He introduced me to Daemon as well, which is a fantastic book series as well. And another thing, this video is great. Sums up most of my personal theory down to a T.
Its funny, I was thinking about making an hour long analysis video myself, about Ivan Beck and how he may have lost his house (lots of house imagery throughout the series/ost thumbnails, getting enveloped by the green light, etc) I had dubbed it 'The House Theory' and no one seems to be talking about the house stuff, and I honestly believe its a big source of Ivan's trauma/motivation; to find what he lost that the backrooms took from him, his home, his belongings, potentially his family. I'm wondering if you've noticed this too. Most notably, the thumbnail for "Everything" on Kane's music channel features an upsidedown distorted house surrounded by numbers. These numbers feature a sequence of 5 digits that are a perfect duplicate of the digits from the secret home.mov video kane made, which is what tipped me off for the whole house rabbithole, since it also features a brief shot of an upside down house attic. I think being upsidedown/inverted/mirrored might be symbolism for being taken by the complex.
I've been thinking about this *a lot* too, the notes and stuff i have for that specific theory, which i'll go over in my next theory video, and what i've noticed with the house imagery, being forgotten, etc. etc.
@@LittleRedSM made an edit to my comment rather late, read my last few sentences I added if you want
the motion detected video looked like an upside down person clipping through the wall so I think it was actually someone noclipping
@@bunkley923 i thought so too! But i think it’d look more like it was “falling” but while the legs did kinda look like they were flailing it looked more… steady? If thats the right word?
@@_TheDoctor im definitely going to keep this in mind during the brainstorming!! 👀
I love finding up and coming channels. I get thought potato vibes but with a specific niche rather than broad spectrum horror. Good shit
Very well thought out and comprehensive - it's so nice to see other people thinking and obsessing about this kind of thing in such detail!
LMAO thank you so much!! i really appreciate it :D
Lifeform just like me for real 😭 On a real note though, love this genuinely. Only 15 minutes in and this is helping me grasp this kinda stuff better than I could before with like any other kind of "The Mysteries of Kane's Backrooms" type video than ever before, so thanks!!!!!
this is some real based theorizing. Gosh I can't wait for more of this series
This is an amazingly well made video, you definitely deserves a LOT more subscribers. This is a Film Theory level quality video.
absolutely wonderful video!! you patched everything together very continuously and this felt like a real scientific lecture. and these theories are fascinating, too!
The biggest thing to be ready for is that you need to be ready for the movie to change things up. I'm pretty sure he moved to The Oldest View because of the movie deal, and movies are such a different thing. But I hope you get more to work with regardless! If you haven't yet, I'd suggest you check out Into the Hyperverse. Like Kane, he's doing his own thing with it. Unlike Kane, you're not getting an external narrative, but rather a twisting narrative from intelligent creatures within the expanded backrooms. He's amazingly good at it like Kane, but doesn't worry quite so much on realism. It's also a bigger timesink because his videos are now ranging up to 50 minutes in length.
Yeah, it's disappointing that the series will never have a conclusion. The Oldest View has a ton of obvious overlap, but it's just not the same.
Yessssss im so excited for the movie. I know Kane said that besides the movie he also wants to do a tv series on the Backrooms series so im super hyped to see where this goes next!! And as for TOV i know hes doing something big with it rn but im not sure what! What i do know is that the construction for that shopping district is finally starting so maybe he’ll make TOV irl! 😂
Oh it will! 😌
I can see this channel becoming big. Keep up the great work
Thank you so much!!! 🥹
this is such a underrated channel
thank you!!!! 🥺
The lifeform’s scream is creepy!
That's excellent analysis and speculations there, you'll pierce the mystery of the backrooms before the movie comes out at this rate!
with the amount of research and theorizing ive done, i think so too LOL
Nice!
The current hypothesis for Ediacaran ecosystems (before the Cambrian explosion in hard body parts) is that the sea floor was covered in bacterial biofilm mats a few mm to several centimetres deep, and the Ediacaran life forms currently known from their impression fossils rooted through those mats. As animals evolved from tiny, tiny burrowing wormy things into slightly larger wormy things they may have disrupted those bacterial mats and helped destabilise and wipe out the Ediacaran biota.
its really interesting that you mention that, because one of the shots from the series is a close up on a mug with "MLML" on it. MLML stands for Moss Landing Marine Laboratory, and they do tons of marine research. I was looking for another connection to my theory and this comment helped me make that connection so thank you for mentioning it!!
And thank you for watching! Im glad you enjoyed the video :D
During the Autopsy report, I thought the reason of death was an entity due to the first found footage's very last part. Like.... Talk about a jumpscare, but moving on, it's safe to assume that these entities kill people. As for the black stuff, Maybe it was the blood altered in some way, that was my theory, BTW, thanks for changing the way I see the first found footage's monster.
I think the green light is the complex "feeding" pulling in structure from outside to feed on.
Thank you so much!!! :')
Fantastic work
i've been waiting for a while for someone to do a very in epth analysis on specifically kane pixel's backrooms universe. this video is going straight into my blood
LMAO thank you so much!!!
i’ve been watching this video while doing tasks over a few days but today i finally looked at your channel and i was SO SHOCKED to see how small of a channel you really are. great quality and amazing video overall !!!
omg thank you so much!! That means so much to me :')
I feel a lot smarter after watching this. Great video
It's interesting to note that both bacteria mentioned in the video can come from the human intestinal track, it would explain how the bacteria entered the complex, though why it mutated to turn into the creatures is still unknown, idk thought I'd mention it(if u did I prolly missed it bad listening skills lol) anyway AMAZING video i love to see stuff like this and it actually makes sense!
I hope Tom or MatPat from Game Theory Sees this and reacts to it in GTLive or does a whole episode on it, because this is AMAZING. I’m really excited for the movie, and I can’t wait for it.
My Theory On The Life Form:There Is Actually Multiple Life Form Sightings In Found Footage #1
First One:When Kane Looks Behind Him And Sees Something Go Out Of View It's Actually Something Called "The Watching Lifeform"
Second One:I Don't Actually Know Where This One Is But I Think It Crawls Without Legs Just A Tail And Arms
Third One:It's Called "The Hunting Lifeform"The One That Attacks In FF1
Fourth One:This One Is In Motion Detected Which Is Called "The Lifeform King"
Fifth One:This Is "The Impersonator" Like The Hunter It Attacks Except This One Can Mimic People's Voices
Sixth One:In FF2 The One Here Is "The Lifeform Nest" Which Creates Hunters,Watchers,Impersonators And Identifiers(which are the second one)
@@axo677 I Speak In Capitals ;)
A video with actual depth.
Thank you!!! 🥹🥹🥹
this was awesome, As a Mutal I sent this to kane im sured hed be interested in the theory 🙏
omg Dravy!! thank you! that means so much to me! :') I hope y'all enjoy it and stick around for more!
This is an insanely thorough video. Thank you for making this.
thank *you* for watching it!! I really appreciate it :D
@@LittleRedSM you're welcome!
My homepage: "WHY KANW PIXELS IS SO GOOD ATT MAKINB DACKROOMS"
Also my homepage: "REAl loCation OF THE BaKROON S "
da backroons is my favorite fr
I love how all these canons and versions of the backrooms spawned from one image.
I'm sure someone has already mentioned this but one thing about the Lifeform sensing movement and sound...A Sync introduced those motion and sound-sensing cameras into the complex during "Motion Captured." It may be that these amalgamations also include the cameras since these things have a bio-mechanical look to them. Especially the original FF lifeform which had a weird tripod look to it when it was walking around near the end.
Oh man, I never considered the fact that these colonies could probably assimilate non organic material as well; that makes a lot of sense!!
12:29 I so wanted to go out that front door. But no, creepy room instead and then back the same way again.
This was extremely well made and it packed a lot of information. I learned a lot about a series that i’ve mostly experienced in passing. This was awesome. Thanks for sharing all this information!
"woo"
that noise lives in my head rent free
I know making these videos takes a long time. But please make more! I can't wait. Your videos are so good. I can tell you're going to blow up.
omg thank you!!! Definitely stick around then because I have more fun videos like this for other media! (Books, games, movies, other series, etc.)
Amazing theory! This is probably one of the best backrooms theory videos out there. I even had a similar theory about the bacteria where if you stay in the backrooms for too long your body would decay and you would become the bacteria. I can’t wait to see more vids like this soon!
I'd like to put another theory in, for the first Backrooms video, it was probably a style design and also a realism style, fluorescent lights in old office complex areas used to have different heat temperature / the thing that makes light, welp, light with color, and as a 3d artist myself, is probably what happened at first but kane got a dream about it or an idea about it probably during the third test or first contact, he most likely just had a very rough scrap lore idea of the series
Well structured and well produced video. Keep up the good work!
Thank you!!! 🥹
You gained a subscriber, I absolutely loved this I've been watching this whole video during my studies and I can't tell which I'm learning more from, my work or this video lol, great job, super underrated!
also the thing about the backrooms is that when a person walks forward, the backrooms somehow infinitly generates more and more levels or structures.
Absolutely amazing video. I can't believe how well put together this video is, yet you don't have a huge fan base (yet)! Please keep up the wonderful work^^
Thank you so much!!! :')
Beautiful video, the backrooms used to be my childhood fear, now I respect it and give it grace, if I ever fell into the backrooms, I wouldn't mind!
To me; it sounds like the found footage was recorded on July 4,1991 and found on September 23, 1996
personally I think the green light occurs when there's instability within the complex itself, so basically the code just breaks and it just can't function anymore, or possibly the complex expanding.
great video
I don't think anyone else noticed this yet but there is one particular, very hard to discern moment in pitfalls that if true, gives some of the best evidence for the idea that the lifeforms can hear and mimic.
In pitfalls, when Marvin is entering the hallway immediately after the room with the road signs, I SWEAR I can hear something faintly sounding like a TV commercial for "American Express" or something. (Go to 11:28 on the video and try to listen for something going on about "your card" and "the United States") That and the fact that the lifeform seems to be rambling to itself in the moments before it confronts Marvin.
In all likelihood, I think the sound of that commercial was either an auditory bleed through from normal reality on it's own, or the lifeform heard it as a result of the bleed through.
Dude this is amazing and so well done. Get ready to blow up
Thank you!!! I think the past 10 days have been sort of preparing me for that because I'm still in shock every time i get a break from editing and come to check on stuff
Great video! Super in depth theories, I’d love to hear more! My initial theory was that the green light was the complex writing more of itself. I think it makes sense for why the walls were expanding slightly at the end of FF2 and why the green light only seems to occur in areas of the complex that haven’t been traveled to before. I think your theory is great and definitely has more evidence to it, but I do wonder, why only green light? Visible light is all colors, since any colors that we can see are by definition, visible light. Also, why don’t we see green light in FF1 and FF2 when no clipping is occurring? Or when the null zone is called out in that image and outlined in red. I think those would be obvious places for Kane to add in the green light, but he didn’t. Because of this, I think there is some possibly more bizarre reason for the green light, possibly one that we can’t even imagine at this point in the series. Again, great video and great theory! Can’t wait to hear more
5:12 I always thought it had its hands out trying to grab him lol
Red I love the amount of energy you put into this video. I’m totally sold on your theory. I think that the fact that the lifeform has 4 limbs and a head which loosely resemble a human supports your theory even more, it would seem odd that they take on that shape if they weren’t somehow predisposed to expanding in such a specific way. I imagine that a dead dog would take on a more canine shape as a regrown lifeform.
I have started a series that’s reinventing the backrooms, I won’t say much, but I would love to hear your interpretation on my episode 0, which is a two minute video on my channel titled DYING SHIPS.
I look forward to your future theories and projects :)
Omg thank you so much!!! 🥹🫶🏻
Now that you bring it up, what *would* happen to an animal who has fallen into The Complex? If Hay Bacillus is commonly found in human gastrointestinal tracts, could another common bacteria that is found in animals also undergo the same process but end up as something different?
I’ll be sure to check it out!! 🥳🫶🏻
Always cool to see an LHC mention hahaha, great job on the physics explanations too! I remember messing around with ATLAS and some ALICE data back at university for some research, particle physics is quirky as all fuck. Happy to see somebody throwing all that weird shit into somethinh that makes sense and not some weird spiritual grift lmao
Oh, and on the whole energy building till a breaking point, the LHC did kinda work on something similar to that. The studies I was working on mostly involved the breakdown of subatomic structures in the face of massive amounts of energy. Basically just colliding protons at super high energies/speeds, and seeing the gluon field break down and spew out a bunch of quarks and the like, and ATLAS/ALICE gave up looooots of data on that sort of stuff. Cool link maybe? Who knows lmao
Keep up the great work!
Whaaaaaat this is genuinely so cool! I'd love to hear more about that if you wanna join the discord!! :D
And thank you so much!!! :') I really really appreciate it!
This was incredible, best video about the series yet. Thank you
omg thank you!!! That really does mean a lot to hear :')
great video, you deserve more subs fr
