Backrooms is a background trait in the Redacted Remilio Babies NFT collection, depicting the Backrooms — an internet horror phenomenon originating from a 2019 4chan post describing an infinite liminal space consisting of empty, fluorescent-lit office rooms with yellowed wallpaper and damp carpet.

Background

The Backrooms concept was created in May 2019 by FODKOM, a member of the Remilia collective, who posted the original image and description to 4chan's /x/ (paranormal) board and uploaded the first Backrooms-based video to YouTube on 19 May 2019. The post featured a photograph of an empty, beige-carpeted office corridor captioned with the description of a place you could access by "noclipping" out of reality — a reference to the video game technique of passing through solid geometry. The concept rapidly expanded into a collaborative fiction project on Reddit and later YouTube, with creators elaborating an extensive mythology of levels, entities, and survival rules. Kane Pixels, a teenage filmmaker, produced a series of found-footage short films set in the Backrooms beginning in 2022 that drew tens of millions of views and significantly expanded the concept's mainstream reach.

The Backrooms became one of the defining examples of liminal space aesthetics — a genre of internet imagery exploring the uncanny quality of transitional, depopulated spaces — which became a significant cultural phenomenon in online communities during the early 2020s. FODKOM's authorship of the original post connects the trait directly to the Remilia ecosystem.
