Urban Dictionary

A situation of great material prosperity, but only for superfluous consumer goods and entertainment content that do not bring happiness or meaning to one's life.

More specifically, it refers to the post-covid American economy–wherein real incomes are the highest they've ever been, food and material goods are available in incredible abundance and are unimaginaby cheap by the standards of any other time in human history, there is utterly limitless choice in immediately-accessible entertainment for free or very low cost, travel to nearly anywhere in the world is possible with for only a few days' pay, all the world's knowledge is accessible at one's fingertips, algorithms can instantaneously produce entire books, videos, games, programs, etc....but all the most truly meaningful and significant aspects of life (housing, healthcare, education, childcare) are unprecedentedly unaffordable.

Despite incredible prosperity in vapid material goods, society suffers from widespread unhappiness and perceptions of unbearable indigence due to the inaccessibility of the core building blocks of life. We possess opulence, but only for slop.

Slopulence.

The Backrooms are a concept first showcased in a post on 4chan, where one user described a realm made up of nothing but infinite, empty, interconnected rooms with horrible yellow wallpaper and loud fluorescent lights. The concept has now been expanded upon and revamped numerous times over.

The Backrooms, in general, are a series of liminal spaces designed to evoke a feeling of eeriness and nostalgia. They are designed to be a form of psychological horror, with the emptiness and eerie feelings as the main point of the Backrooms. They take elements from everyday life, things that one would not ordinarily pay attention to, and takes them out of context to create something uncanny. Something empty. They are designed to feel surreal, dream-like. Often, the structure and physical design of these liminal spaces are completely nonsensical, as if they were not deliberately made, which, of course, only adds to the psychological horror of the Backrooms.

If you'd like a more in-depth explanation, take a look at Solar Sands' video on YouTube on the subject, titled, "Liminal Spaces".

There's also a Fandom site for the Backrooms, at backrooms.fandom.com.
