Backrooms是一个起源于2019年4chan的网络虚构设定，描绘了无限延伸的空荡荡黄色房间[1]。通过YouTube视频、游戏、地图和社交媒体故事，互联网用户共同建构和探索这个虚拟世界，将其发展为一种新型数字旅游现象[1]。
这一创意设定在网络平台上获得了广泛的传播与参与[1]。r/backrooms subreddit包含数十万成员[1]，而TikTok上#backrooms标签超过50万条帖子[1]。电影制作人Kane Parsons的YouTube视频使Backrooms成为社交媒体最知名的恐怖环境之一[1]，Parsons目前正在将其改编为长篇恐怖电影[1]。学术研究表明，Backrooms现象反映了人们对神秘、怀旧和不安氛围的新兴兴趣，以及数字文化如何重塑传统旅游体验[1]。相关研究已发表于《Annals of Tourism Research》2026年第118期[1]。
The Backrooms, a networked fictional setting originating from 4chan in 2019, has evolved into a striking example of how internet communities collaboratively construct and explore shared virtual worlds [1]. The concept depicts an infinite expanse of empty, yellow rooms that has captured widespread imagination across multiple digital platforms.
The phenomenon's reach is substantial, with the r/backrooms subreddit now housing hundreds of thousands of members [1]. On TikTok, the #backrooms hashtag has accumulated over 500,000 posts [1], demonstrating the breadth of user engagement. Filmmaker Kane Parsons significantly amplified the concept's visibility through YouTube videos that established the Backrooms as one of social media's most recognized horror environments [1]. Building on this momentum, Parsons is currently adapting the Backrooms into a feature-length horror film [1].
Research published in the Annals of Tourism Research Volume 118 in 2026 examines this phenomenon as a novel form of digital tourism [1]. The study suggests that the Backrooms' appeal reflects emerging public interest in mystery, nostalgia, and unsettling atmospheres, while illustrating how digital culture is fundamentally reshaping conventional tourism experiences [1].
