I don’t get how a yellow office room is supposed to be scary
Stop being disingenuous.
>>220856106Imagine if you noclipped though
>>220856106I dont get how people dont get being trapped in an alternate reality with no escape back into the real world wouldn't be scary. Especially one trapped indoors without ever seeing daylight or getting fresh air again. Do incels find this comfy because they stay indoors 24/7 or something?
>>220856106>I don’t get how a yellow office room is supposed to be scarybecause it's....DAMP. It smells musty like you're in a poorly finished basement.Don't you realize how scary that is.
>>220856232it's not really implied you're stuck there forever the setting itself is not scary at all, just your own notions about it
>>220856194Im with him. This is just stupid.
>>220856106social metacommentary on the late/post-capitalist hyper individualist society where the 1% exploits the 99% for their own benefit and gaslights you into thinking that all your misfortunates are your problem and you can somehow fix themfor young people (women affected but it's mostly men, because men today are having an identity crisis, the promised fairytale of stay at home wife and working hard to support a nuclear family is nothing but the 1% selling you a fictional paradise that never existed) like a recent graduate the financial burden and social dynamics (irreversibly reshaped by internet) put an immense pressure on them, people thus identify themselves with the feel of being lost and the fear of the unknown because they are in uncharted territory, there's no guidance to be found in older generations that don't understand your concerns and gaslight your back (like calling zoomers lazy or dum etc), no previous society in the history of humankind had to deal with the impeding doom of full AI automation, navigating all of this feels exactly like a weird maze, it sounds and looks familiar but obviously there's something wrong and everyone can see that it's true ultimately backrooms tap into the primordial human psyche while deconstructing first world post-colonial, post-war, post-industrial revolution (which will be the last industrial revolution with humans that operate machines) past, present and future
>>220856454>everybody's life was easy and straight forward except for mine. >I'm the only one who has ever had to figure life out.
>>220856513>everybody's life was easy and straight forward except for mine. I didn't say that>I'm the only one who has ever had to figure life out.I didn't say thatsee? all you people do is gaslighting and making up stuff and then you get mad when nobody wants to speak with you because it's like talking to a brick wall
it's comforting, like a big womb. People who turned the back rooms into monsterslop, didn't get it.
>>220856578i addressed your word salad leftoid temper tantrum about how its a metaphor for life being hard to navigate.life has always been hard to navigate. for everyone.
>>220856454>blah blah blah i'm a victimyou deserve to suffer
they aren't scary at first. they're confusing at first, then eerie, and unsettling. then you hear something and aren't sure where it came from, and you wonder what could be in this place besides you. you try to leave and you can't remember the way out because of how similar and repetitive the layout is. that's when they become scary.
>>220856106it works better as an adventure movie where it's the decrepit old remains of 20th century america that somehow stranger things upside down'd itself into becoming it's own separate self-constructing entity. it's based off the michigan blue hell concept and from what little reading i've done it sounds surreal and incredible
>>220856106>i guess its not that bad
>>220856454not gonna read your chatgpt slop faggot
>>220856106>i dont get how an empty space i can´t escape of is supposed to be scaryyou are a fucking retard
>>220856395>it's not really implied you're stuck there forevernot, just that you can be there a month or literally die inside, what a fucking retard you are
>>220857885again, none of that is implied.
>>220856106go watch the movie to find out
>>220858043>basic horror concept of being lost in an alternate place>none of that is implied
>>220858413>youre trapped there forever>youll never be able to eat>thinking youll even get hungryimplications
>>220858043>>220856395>it's not impliedit is implied that you can get lost and be unable to get out. don't be disingenuous.
>>220858374i read the wiki and it sounds like he was able to leave, then chooses to go back inside. he even gets 2 others to go in there with him. so far to me it seems like the youtube web series is far better than the movie.also:>his psychiatrist decides to go looking for him and gets trapped as wellwtf? unrealistic. why would she care enough? and if she did, she could've called in a wellness check with the cops.the story sounds like superficial BS, a total mess. there's also some researchers who are monitoring the situation, similar to cabin in the woods.the backrooms would be truly scary if:>lights are inconsistent, they flicker and sometimes turn off entirely, leaving the hallways mostly dark with some spotlights here and there. this is already done in various zombie shooters where you're walking around an abandoned office, hospital, etc.>it is established that you cannot easily leave until you find the exit.>it's an alternate dimension where truly bizarre, evil shit resides. perhaps unseen evil handlers oversee the whole thing.>you get tired, hungry, sleepy and have to survive given those real world constraints. you aren't sure how you will eat, rest or shit, while you're there.
>>220856384>>220856454Lmao. Which why moviegoer?
>>2208586841. Reading le hecking wiki is not the same as watching a movie 2. If flickering lights is your input on making a horror movie then god help you
>>220856106Whole concept of "liminal horror" came from some zoomer who thought empty gmod maps were scary, that's it
>>220856194nope, i agree, i genuinely dont get this whole meme
the otherworld but bright spooky
>>220856395>implication>when the premise of the backrooms is getting stuck in a shitty infinite maze where you can't see any of the exitsI can't tell if you're baiting or if you're genuinely retarded
>>2208587361. The wiki reveals a core fact, that he goes in, makes it out of the space, tries to tell his psych, and then goes back in, which lessens the sense of danger.2. Yes, lighting has a huge impact. This scene sucks because it's in a bright hallway. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAP8gwPXFcgThere's no suspense, no mystery, no hidden danger. It's just a shitty action sequence. The bright lights make it clear that it's just background stand-ins wearing bad makeup.
this is far better than backrooms, and was made in 2011:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Stanley_Parable
You ever seen Cube or anything similar? Like Grave encounters, Yellow brick road or Dave made a maze?
>>220856106Maybe you should go to therapy and take SSRIs and you'll get it
>>220856106>>220856194kek this is going to be the new "yanks just admit you know robbie williams"
>>220856106It's got a monster that makes the generic monster jump scare scream that's in all of these pieces of shit
>>220859893>stanley parable is 15 yrs old> is still a “new game” to me mentallyuoof it’s so over
>>220856106the whole movie should have taken place there with more people dying and disappearing one after another, there was zero tension because they missed to project any threat of being stuck there forever, fuck you all for promoting this kind of slop
>>220859893Adventure Line theme intensifieshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7A7kVB-CzY
>>220856106Its scary to zoomers because they find the idea of being cut off completely to be horrifying. They're so used to being in constant contact with the world, being up to date second by second on what's happening. Now place them in the most mundane setting without any interaction, without that constant delivery of activity. Its 4 year old separated from their parent at a grocery store energy. They find it absolutely horrifying
Whats the best Backrooms game? The movie was very good.
>>220861107the exit 8
>>220861043also boomers:>the heckin ghosterinos are here
>>220856194fpbp
>>220856621its had implied monsters since the very first 4chan post.
>>220856106I do find the idea of a massive, eerie unexplained labyrinth alternate reality dimension that you can accidentally slip into, interesting.
I wish House of Leaves got an adaption before a youtube series.
>>220856395so where is the exit? how are you planning to leave this place?
>>220861368Go out the way you entered. The entrances aren't one way.
>>220856194NTA but I've tried watching a bunch of backroom videos and some streams of games but the setting never feels scary unless there's some entity chasing them or something. The setting itself isn't scary because it's not claustrophobic like navigating some tunnel system or anything. It's too open.
>>220861334It is a gimmicky book that will eventually get adapted into a gimmicky movie
>>220861368Clark was able to leave the place at will which seems exceptionally rare, usually people noclip through the ceiling. The only other way out is through A-sync's doorway but even if you somehow find it they are probably going to experiment on you
>>220861384>entrancefuck off Kane. there is no entrance. the whole point of the concept is, that you could randomly slip into this place.
i'm so confused as to why this has been popping up again and getting a movie. is it really a zoomer thing? i remember people joking about it 5+ years ago and back then it was already pretty old.
>>220856106pee colored room is scary xDD
sadasd
>>220861416If you know about the Japanese industry, it wouldn't be that surprising. They literally tons of semi-popular amateur written webnovel (basically fanfic tier) into an anime now. If the profits pencil out, it's a go. Dunno if the industry in the west will take this route though.
>>220856106because you can't even try to imagine it and put yourself there.. that’s why you don't see it
I'm sure this is an issue with every movie ever but I'm noticing it a lot with Backrooms in particular where you enter a discussion and some faggot gives a strong opinion about the movie and then you ask him if he even watched it, and then he quickly goes and googles a synopsis and then gives a much bolder opinion than anything you've heard from the people who actually watched it. Can we kill these people?
>>220862627I'm watching it today. I kinda expect it to suck but maybe I'm wrong. I didn't have high hopes for Iron lung which is also a movie based on youtube hype and it was actually pretty damn good. So maybe.
>>220856106It's a labyrinth, and if you get lost you will die. Clasically, the ultimate purpose of a labyrinth is to contain a monster [minotaur] within.
>>220856194I think it's not just shitposting. Some people are genuinely retarded enough to not even understand that this isn't about ordinary rooms, but about absurd supernatural mazes. There's nothing "ordinary" about them.
>>220862723>but about absurd supernatural mazes. There's nothing "ordinary" about them.dude wtf, no way? you just blew my mind
>>220862731The concept does actually seem to blow people's mind on /tv/, yes.
>>220862785No we understand the concept but at beat you could call it "slightly unsettling". Not scary
>>220862723yeah I think some ppl might have too low of an IQ to understand that these rooms are infinite and far too big to be regular rooms. So they cannot connect how some regular office space can be scary because to them it really is just regular office space. They dont even connect two dots.
>>220862810i hope you're shitposting otherwise this is some extreme dunning kruger going on
>>220861442>is it really a zoomer thing?Zoomers are the first generation to be entirely made from recycled material. Do shopping malls even exist for zoomers? I have 3 dying ones right next to me and they are 90% occupied with old people and me.
I liked it for what it was. The story was simple in itself->guy down on his luck>finds supernatural thing>it drives him madPrimer did the same thing with better writing and zero budget. Fuck now I want Kane to remake that with his music.I'd love to know more lore behind Ivan Beck and the characters in the YT series, but this was not the place for them. FAIK Kane or A24 could make whole stand-alone episode stories in this universe and make a franchise. I'd be down for more.
>>220862809I will dumb it downIf you woke up in an abandoned or empty real-world building, because you were drunk or kidnapped or some actual plausible event, and the layout made sense, there's corridors and door where there should be. you could find an elevator or stairwell, or windows where you look outside and see the normal world., yes that would "slightly unsettling" at best.If you fell or stepped through an actual wall, so you got there in a way that makes no sense, in a space that clearly shouldn't be there, the layout makes no sense, you see absurd structures that serve no purpose and no sane human would ever think of, there is no exit, stairs lead to more weird rooms, and it just goes on and on forever, and there's no visible outside world, that would be more than "slightly unsettling"
>>220862953That's not the plot though.
I also don't get how you think flooding the catalog about this movie with the same 2 3 stale memes is considered good posting
>>220856578Nigga, your giant unending block of text was like trying to read a brick wall
>>220856106Maybe some retarded metaphor for no longer wageslaving in a cubicle or something
>>220862950>FAIK Kane or A24 could make whole stand-alone episode stories in this universe and make a franchise. I'd be down for more.It'd better not try to explain anything.
>>220856454zoomer cope
>>220862984Yeah add creepy lifeforms that chase you
>>220863017So you have to add creepy things chasing you to make it scary? What a great scary setting
>>220861043Or maybe they realize they've been robbed of their birthright and we're in our late Rome death spiral and no one is doing anything about it. They can see a vision of what the USA used to be in the 80's and 90's through movies and the empty malls, office buildings, university buildings, and storefronts, littering the city. The economy isn't even real at this point, said buildings are left empty because private equity firms view them as poker chips and refuse to lower the rents so we'll never again see the sort of third spaces that used to be provided by independent record stores, concert venues, coffee houses, etc. And if they did clip through to a Limbo-esque parallel dimension, who would miss them? The Boomers, a generation of self-absorbed treat monsters who cheer for their own children and grandchildren to fail? Their tired aging Millennial cousins burying themselves in hobbies and nostalgia? The government and corporations who want to replace them with Indians?

>>220856106It isn't an office. It is an empty retail space in a mall. Malls are dying out. They are either empty or closed. They are derelict buildings so they are the new haunted houses for the zoomer generation. Also zoomers came after mall culture so malls are also the ruins of a dead culture they never got to be apart of.
>>220863532See the issue with your statement (aside from lack of evidence, of course, while the opposite has been well documented) is that it's entirely your own personal bias. What if I'm posting this from an african village with barely any access to drinkable water? Your answer would be "your problem bro" but that alone is enough to make that statement become false, in other words your personal experience is not evidence of anything and you put yourself into a logic trap that you designed by yourself.>That was a factAs we already established your "facts" are just your personal observations and judgement, so what it was or wasn't is irrelevant here.>Literally just look at zoomer faggotsWhat is there to look at? How is a small group of people evidence of anything?

>>220864223I think it's good that the movie didn't include the version of the Backrooms with numbered levels, "safe levels", countless dumb SCP monsters and other random bullshit.

Saying "an individual" is extremely reductive, even if we stay confined to the west only it's like hunreds of thousands if not millions of people, do we just discount them all because it didn't reach some magical treshold where it becomes relevant to you?Something bad happening to a single individual is still as bad as the same thing happening to 10 millions because whether it's one person or many it doesn't change anything.>>220864441If you have to come up with an extreme version of the logic of your opponent then it doesn't really address the actual point that was mode in any capacity.>>220864452And you too have a nice day.

>>220865517>>220866260as someone who loves the liminal shit personally, and definitely falls into this category a little, these posts made me giga kek
>>220866024>get weirded out by perfectly flat Minecraft worldsThat is actually kind of terrifying when you imagine being stuck there forever
>>220866610Backrooms miniseries next I guess.
>>220856106It is an American thing, they are dead afraid of working
>>220856232Being stuck on a moon or desert island would be scary too.... yet pictures of the moon or desert island dont evoke fear
>>220867590It has to do with familiarity, this isn't rocket science. You've never been to the moon or a desert island. You intimately know the fear of getting lost, you can hear the empty echos in a large building, you know what it feels like to be alone at night in a big house, I don't get why people are pretending its not scary.
>>220856106>IS THAT AN EMPTY ROOM WITH NO SLOP POSTERS OR ANIME FIGS OR DILDOS? AHHH I’M GOING INSANE!!!!!
labyrinths.... are scary???????
>>220867739Nigger i have terrible sense of direction. I get lost on parking lots maybe once a year. And no packed parking lots still dont scare me. Im alone at night every night in may comparatively big house. None of this shit is scary. Im sure the movie is fine but the idea of a big office space being scary is very silly. But then again so are murderous dolls yet loom at Chucky and Annabelle
it's hit me that this is just a modern day version of a fantasy dungeon. A nonsensical labyrinthine space, filled with traps, enemies, and possibly treasure.
>>220856106what if it was blue
>>220867935Comfy af. I would spend the night in the backrooms to win a haunted house contest or someothing
>>220867739>empty echos in a large building>alone at night in a big houseKek. Zoomers are scared by this shit? They’re 30, but have the mentality of 5 year olds.
>>220867912>>220867963Unimaginative retards.
>>220867935cyberpunk is transexual
>>220868069Better stand down Zoomie, I got a VHS tape over here and I aint afraid to hit play.
>>220856106Beyond every horror archetype there is a real fear.In this case it's uhhhhh being forced away from your smartphone?
>>220867931Treasure?
>>220856194This.I'm tired of people pretending to not understand things and not having genuine discussion.
>>220856621>People who turned the back rooms into monsterslop, didn't get it.This
The superior liminal space idea was always the one executed in the blame! manga, i don't get why it's never discussed anywhere in the west. This is a cheap knockoff version with no real story.
>>220856194This. Being sarcastic or retarded on purpose is dead and we need to move on
>>220868238i remember in 2001 or so, being a teenager and having a discussion in the supermarket break room about how being in an empty room with no windows would drive you mad and was the scariest thing ever. it's not a new thing, people have always thought about it. this was before cellphone addiction. i actually think it's something young people fear more because of anxiety
The only reason the "office space" aspect is scary is because of how blank and mundane it is. You're lost in this place, and all the walls look exactly the same. What, did you expect the walls to be frightening in themselves?
backrooms need someone like lynch but instead we get some zoomer
>>220868238You'd better not be serious, and if not this is honestly too retarded to be funny anyway
>>220856621Actually, facts
FUCK YOU FUCK YOU ALL I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I WANT MYYY MOMMMY WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! WAAAAAAAAAAAAH! EHEHEHE..... WAWAWAWAWA PAPAPAPA SNIFF WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH WAAAAAAAAAAAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA TE TE TE TE TE WUHBBUHBUHBUBUHBUU :((( :D W-woah that was weird
it's mexico lmao
>>220868300When exploring the unknown you have the chance to find bad stuff or treasure. This was the gamble columbus was taking.
https://lostmediawiki.com/The_Backrooms_(found_original_source_of_image_from_Creepypasta;_2002)I think what helped was the rabbit hole aspect to this and the hunt to track down the source of the original image as with a lot of 4chan posts. A film about attempts to do that and then finally finding the irl place and encountering ghoulies would be cool, the reality was a bit more mundane. Ive not seen the movie yet maybe thats what its about idk.
>>220869275https://web.archive.org/web/20030503094137/http://www.hobbytownoshkosh.com:80/revolution%20raceway,%20020903.htmThe backrooms are in Oshkosh?!?! Holy fucking shit. Between this and Mandela Catalogue, Wisconsin just keeps winning
>>220862953To sum it up, you're under some odd impression that people who find it more mundane than terrifying can't understand the underlying concept. "Infinite oddly designed labyrinth maze of rooms" might be esoteric to simpletons, sure.It doesn't change the fact that the premise can easily be summed in three greentexts like this anon did >>220862950I mean it is truly simple.
>>220856232But what if that reality is loud, obnoxious and full of normies?
>>220864223>cash in on the zoomer hypeThat's precisely why this movie is such a smash hit at the right place and time. Except for the fact the movie itself is no more than a 5 or 6 out of 10... I don't really have any desire to revisit it, but it was a decent way to kill time. I preferred Obsession (the other big zoomer directed film this year) but I found that underwhelming too.
>>220862723There's an absurd, supernatural maze in Cube and Hellraiser. It wasnn't scary in those movies either. There are other things that you should be focusing on.
>>220856232Sunlight bad.
>>220867912I think the scary part is that its a labyrinth of unknown size. You keep going trying to get out, but it just keeps going on and on. Its also a place that doesnt make sense. Where are you? You are starting to question reality. It looking like an office space is more of an aesthetic to make it more depressing
>>220867590>yet pictures of the moon or desert island dont evoke fearSpeak for yourself. I think all the pictures from the surface of the moon have a spooky vibe to them. its literally alien
Boomers and Xcucks lost their minds and pissed their pants at Gremlins and then say stupid shit like "how is this endless labyrinth of office rooms with monsters inside supposed to be scary?".
>>220869198I say this
>>220856106Zoomers are mentally ill. They're scared of their own shadow.
>>220856106It's scary because hidden somewhere deep in the office is a bunch a whiny, gay coworkers writing complaints and an HR department.
>>220856106Because you assume you can get out.As with many millennial and zoomer cultural works, it has been done monumentally better in the past already
>>220856106Was a genuinely good movie the only problem I had was that Dr. Kline's backstory was haphazardly forced into the movie, but I think they set up her fall for some kind of sequel. Like the furniture theme was a callback to SCP-3008 because Kane is a massive SCP nerd, but it's also because Clark was never going to be an architect and was going to be a failing furniture salesman forever. I have no idea what that corpo stuff at the end was supposed to be, but Dr. Kline was screwed over by them royally I think.
>>220864536Chud Derangement Syndrome
>>220856194>disingenuous.Did you just learn this word? I see you posting it in nearly every thread.
>>220872165It's true, most people live only for social media outrage they don't actually watch anything.
>>220872090>>220872022
>>220866260this but unironically
What is more scary, being trapped in a labyrinth of infinite size and coming to understand you will die in it, or, after enough time has passed, realizing you will not?
Can someone spoil how it ends?
>>220856106this is the new "but I did eat breakfast this morning" IQ test. Anytime someone says this about the backrooms you know you are dealing with someone who isn't ensouled
>>220859893>William Poo
>>220856454You sound like a massive fucking faggot, I hope you genuinely fucking die, also not reading your blogpost
>>220856232But they aren’t stuck there… they use the doorway repeatedly.
>>220863211>They can see a vision of what the USA used to be in the 80's and 90's through moviesRight wingers live through the society of the spectacle. They think living back then is like the heckin movies that came out back then but actually is just that a single $20 dollar bill and $100 went a long way. In short your broke.
>>220872306being touched by you Y:( thats the most scary
>>220872306>labyrinth I would pay for a theater ticket to see a "Theseus vs the Minotaur" movie, without any blacks or non-whites involved. It's basically the ancient greek version of backrooms.I would also like to see a gun-nut character in a more realistic version of the backrooms. Perhaps it's only scary if you're a dumbfuck who goes in unarmed and alone. The movie teaches you a valuable lesson: what's in it for me? Why would I explore this shithole for more than a minute if I accidentally stumbled into it? For various youtubers who earn shekels when they get lots of views, it does make sense for them to do "urban exploration" vids of abandoned places. But some broke black guy, or his young employees, or his therapist, have no business going in there. To me the movie fails immediately because the characters have weak motivation, and thus the story is dumb.>hurrr i'm just gonna stumble into this shitty uncomfy place, and then GO BACK, and then drag other people there too..stupidest shit i've heard of, as bad as the boys show.
>>220872022this was a children's movie
i think there is a primal fear of being abandoned by your tribe and empty places like these evoke that fearlike wandering around your hometown and all thats left are the elderly
Yeah, the portal thing was incredibly dumb. Big point in the original premise is that you're not even sure how you got there
>>220857327I'll have a chicken sandwich with large fries and a large Coca-Cola please. I've been wandering around this place for a while and I'm starving!
you now remember VAGRANT HOLIDAYhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xnI1hZdltwhe explored a nasty, dusty, mold-infested pedo-prison island that was semi-operational.
>>220872627Money just worked different back then. At my first retail job in HS in Y2K we had this super old Greatest Gen guy there who worked part time as a hobby. He had supported a stay at home wife, house, and 4 kids who all did Catholic school and college just selling furniture for commission. I also remember my parents' friends just running random little businesses like print shops and convenience stores and making enough money to live on somehow. This author I followed was a part-time column writer and substitute teacher in a town of only like 10K people and seemed to have a decent life. I also remember doing art lessons at this two story building with an art supply store on the ground floor, classrooms upstairs, and kilns in the basement - I can't imagine a little cottage business like that supporting several people much less justifying occupying what would be a 1 million dollar downtown property today.
>>220865813"liminal space" always meant indoor spaces. only idiots think it includes outdoor stuff. of course, a spooky forest at night might qualify. i don't make the rules.
>I don’t get how a yellow office room is supposed to be scaryI don't get it either.But yet.Somehow.There are over 200 replies about it.Go figure.
>>220872879three for free!
>>220856426yet its the best opening horror movie. Who cares what you think
The fact that horror movies make the most money is a testament to the fact that there are no more major motion pictures anymore. There will never be another Titanic. It's all niche downhill from here.
>>220872933the monotony of a normal office, filled with coworkers, could be terrifying, if it's your dead-end job and you feel trapped there for most of your life.
>>220872627It was better then, far better and people were far happier than they are today because of it. I don’t know anyone who would disagree with me on this
>>220872869Not entirely true, found footage #2 has a girl go through the literal exact same thing as Clark, she found a baseball sized portal in her garage's floor, then the portal increases size suddenly and swallows her whole.That's pretty consistent with the "no clip" concept.
>>220867955it looks cold not comfy, you'd freeze
>>220873039it's about getting pussy.going to the movies is an easy, entry-level date.dinner and a movie.if you take her to some nerdy starwars or capeshit movie, you're probably not going to get laid.if you take her to a scary movie, your odds go way up. and it's a nice compromise. girls are usually into horror movies, even if it's something involving a black guy wandering an empty office space. the idea is that she already likes you enough to go out, so you're supposed to be making out with her most of the time, especially when she's scared.
>>220872627The 90 were peak. everything is going downhill since then.
/tv/ always has the best dating advice
>>220856106The people who think that sorta stuff is scary are the same types that think pic related is the most terrifying thing in the world.
>>220874243AAAAAAHHHHHSpoiler that that shit anon!!!!
>>220856232I just realised that being stuck in a quiet place with no one around is actually paradise. I'd miss my dog though
>>220874350you would need food. and eventually crave some stimuli in the form of entertainment. evidence: you're here on 4chan.pic rel is some jap subway station. it would drive zoomers insane.
What do you eat tho?
>>220863971I used to hate it, but I didn't realise that was actually an artefact of "shitty 70s government buildings", "proper" brutalism is aesthetic (even this "misuse" of the term to erroneously mean "a building that 'brutalises' you in its presence"; though those particular cases I wouldn't really want to live around etc)
>>220863211That headline is a little misleading, because the major cause of death for any demographic in their 20s is going to be murder or suicide or car crashes/OD barring some other major historical event like a war.It's a bit like the "women overwhelmingly killed by partners", yeah, because no one else really kills them, they're "insulated" from that (it's not that a lot of partners are killing the women in their life, it's that of the few women that are killed, it's someone close to them)
>>220874403I suppose so, even as a genuine schizoid I have the base requirement of arguing with niggers over inane shitBlue square > Red circle
