i think liminal spaces give off the same or similar emotions tied too that warmth you find in depression, when you go so deep in the dark that you can fully view the light.

Though initially I dismissed your comment because I often feel deep and smothered by the darkness, unable to see the light. However, upon thinking about it a little, I can recall viewing life from the depth of depression, and feeling oddly adjacent to it. I could see life going on, but I felt remote from it. I couldn’t remember what it felt like to live like that but was sure it was probably normal, and that where I was, was probably not.

Agreed. If you've struggled with depression for years, you sometimes happen to find a twisted sense of peace in your sadness, a sort of melancholic feeling that is oddly comforting and warm. It's so similar to what liminal spaces feel like.

I personally don’t like Buckrooms’ Entity or Survival settings because I think the goodness of Liminal Spaces lies in its loneliness, emptiness and inanimate spaces.

I’m sort of half and half with that, but overall I do agree and think it’s much more personally impactful to be in an empty location with nothing around because being alone is more discomforting and yet also comforting at the same time. What makes certain liminal spaces unsettling for me is the lost aspect. You don’t know where you are or what you’re doing and will you ever get out? A monster entity thing would just kill you so quickly and it’d be over, where as if you were just wondering around forever… you’d be driven to insanity, and eventually die of thirst or starvation if you couldn’t find anything in time.

As a huge fan of The Backrooms and Liminal Spaces.. I greatly appreciate this video. There aren't enough good deep dives into this. Great video! Love it!

The way you described it at the beginning was perfect

Great video. I always had that weird feeling about different places like that (for example, thinking about the classroom after everyone has left and the lights are out) and it was a nameless feeling that I didn't know how to describe to others. Now it has a name.

im saying this now and ive said it before and ill say it again, i really think liminal spaces are not just "transitional places" instead i think its way more about nostalgia and acrhitecture

This reminds me of Stephen king's the Langoliers mini series. A flight looses a lot of its passengers mid flight and in their place are their belongings such as watches dentures etc. When the few that remain land they land onto a completely empty airport and walk around wondering whats going on trying to figure out where everyone went.

Super good vid man, love the editing.

Your videos litteraly make my day when they pop up in my notifications 🩷🫶

i think it taps into that feeling we had growing up where we got to go into the school after the school year was over. Getting to experience the exploration and learning to find comfort in the journey of exploring on your own & finding comfort in that space between Eerie and comfort.

A chemical canvas (such a frame of 35mm film) provides the best foundation for capturing a liminal space (or the source thereof). A photographic print or transparency (developed from 35mm film) can be scanned and preserved digitally and edited as necessary (to be uploaded online). Film absorbs and disperses light and color in a way that parallels how our earliest memories are presented to us in imagination and reverie-something which cannot be replicated through solely digital media alone.

if you use speech to text for your on screen subtitles, please take the time to proofread them ! a LOT of the subtitles were wrong or even misleading with the incorrect wording

The very best video I’ve found on the subject matter, I walk liminal spaces when and wherever I can. I cannot really say anything more, you’ve spoken my ideas and thoughts and I’ve nothing to add. Extremely well done, I love when people let go of the chains society and reality hold us to and look inward and also at the strangeness of the world and really look closely, theorize and hypothesize and simply study things in depth not just outside but inside. 👍🏻

My dude add the sub's for non-native english lovers, respect!

It was so poetic ✊😭 Good job!!

Doing real estate photography I get to chill in liminal spaces a lot.

When you brought up airports I tripped out, I was on LSD cause my cousin was having a job interview and I was just watching people coming home and seeing people smiling and hugging and I was like wow. Such a beautiful place lol definitely a liminal space

Random thought I had while you were defining liminal spaces. I’m not accusing you of doing any of this. I just thought I’d share. I dislike the idea that the modern concept of a liminal space is somehow beholden to the Latin meaning of the word. People didn’t find liminal in the dictionary and then set out to find a space to fit that word. Instead, they found the space and then decided that word best describes the feeling they had when they looked at it. The Latin word is simply something we use to convey a feeling, not something that should be used to constrain or gate keep what is or isn’t a liminal space

I like Liminal Spaces

"The fight in the hotel, set in a zero gravity environment" he says, as a man FALLS on screen 😆

every time i see these videos no one ever mentions "Organism" by DrMorro in vrchat its a master at everything this video mentions

Praise the Lord for nostalgia! Just imagine if we'll be able to explore a plethora of infinite liminal spaces whenever we want whilst in heaven, that would surely be a gift of God. Just being able to enjoy the emotions God gives us in the form of laying eyes upon dreamy imagery would be awesome! There will be no suffering, or death, or tears, just pure joy and intrigue!

I'm more of a weirdcore/dreamcore guy, but i like these videos because both of those "genres" or whatever they are called, have liminal spaces in them.

Liminal spaces were at their best before they were defined. Understanding and rationalizing the feeling of liminality brings comfort and removes the feeling that makes them interesting. It was especially annoying when people started giving them "levels" and monsters. It just makes an interesting concept yet another boring indie horror topic

I think what makes a good liminal space is you think nature should be taking back these places. But. They're not

the liminal feel has always be strong at the game Security Breach's pizzaplex. it reminds of the video of a jerk. this guy told us first all of his life before finally talking about that subject. that guy finally replied me something like "i say what i want in mah video" and then he loose my respect. plus he played the grammar nazi just because i got some faults. my english was objectively decent before plus nothing forced him to reply me. that's what i hate in YT . people these days have ego issues. sorry if it's irrelevant but i needed to tell it.

You seriously lost me. I really didn't understand after awhile. I was more interested In the game in the background.

The script uses a lot of big words that seem unnecessary. You're using terms like "social mobility," "purgatorial landscape," and "moral ambiguity." The sentences don't even sound like it makes any sense, to begin with.

Not at all, there's plenty of surface level videos on liminal spaces and liminality, this is a more robust dissection. As mentioned, people have been thinking about and researching these ideas for a long ass time, it takes more than "backrooms go brr" to build upon what other people have already said. It's fine if you're not into the deeper dive style but for people who care about this stuff and want to learn more going into this much detail is a great. It's like music genres, some people just want rock and pop while others want ambient post blackened folk mathrock, the terminology is there for those who want it.

@@chacecampbell2697 Yes, there are definitely some valid ideas to take away from the video, but if your audience doesn't understand what you're trying to say, it diminishes the value of it. I know that this topic can be complex; however, It's not the reader's job to make sense of the text; it's the author's job to communicate clearly and directly. The people who call this pretentious don't just do it because they don't have the skills to interpret the deep philosophical meaning behind it, it's because no one wants to be spoken down to, and when you sound like a thesaurus explaining something that could have been explained in a couple words or less, it comes off that way and that's not the audience's fault.

Nah maybe if someone wants to be spoon fed, they aren't the target audience for this kind of video. Deep dives are meant to invoke thought. Side note: Saying something in multiple different ways helps people to digest new information. It's not pretentious to put your thoughts and ideas and communicate them in your own way. You can't please everyone and it is 100% a viewer's responsibility to do further research if they A. want to learn more about words mentioned in the video B. want to gain deeper insight on the topic C. Don't want to take what they hear at face value and accept it as absolute truth. To each their own. I just don't think it's pretentious.

What’s the connection between the younger generations (Late 90’s to Early 2000’s) Is it because it’s the safest time period? I’m so curious as to why it seems unique to us when considering architecture like liminal spaces.
