Zoomers are terrified of peace and quiet. To be alone with ones thoughts, devoid of any distraction, is sheer horror to a zoomer. This is why "liminal spaces" frighten them so much. Quiet, peaceful areas void of distraction.
Not to be phobic to sexual minorities but this is the lowest of the lows I have ever seen a human reach. Truly a being without a soul. A person, born in society, unable to leave it, conforming to its every jolt, with barely just a name to separate itself from the everflowing crowd, a golem, without a will, separated from the rest of the universe.

I think it's more so the fact that traditional horror things aren't scary anymore. Most horror fans I know never actually get scared nowadays by horror movies/games/stories. Things like backrooms/liminal spaces became popular because there's finally a new thing that you could maybe get spooked by. Was worth looking into and experiencing if you're someone who never gets scared by normal horror media
Because real multiplayer is dead, and trying to play old multiplayer games singleplayer leaves you whether you can articulate it or not with the feeling that something is explicitly missing.
This is compounded by modern multiplayer gaming (and really the social internet at large twitter, facebook, youtube etc) which does everything it can to get its players to act like soulless machines.
Everyone recognizes there's clearly something wrong but they don't actually have the language to express what's wrong.
>Everyone recognizes there's clearly something wrong but they don't actually have the language to express what's wrong.
Sums up just about everything, honestly. People would rather think in buzzwords like "soul" "soulless" than arm themselves with the knowledge to articulate their feelings about things that they don't realize can be described and explained.
Mom and pop. You don't call a now 19 year old who learns a trade to be able to afford a life and take care of himself a zoomer. Zoomers are kids. They're like 25 years old maximum, you're scientifically not an adult until you're 25, yeah, zoomers are kids. Daddy pays the rent and mommy does the laundry and the groceries.
It's not the end of our world, they won't ruin our civilisation, it's just how it's done now.
The thing we need to remind ourselves ITT is we're talking about Internet culture and memes. We're not making generalisations about all of society, that's completely moronic.
your life is over at 25 though. you turn into a fat disgusting old man and if you try to have any fun with your life after that point you're seen as creepy. but if you do the opposite you're a soiboy.
You're goddamn right I am. At 24 you're still studying for your doctorate, you are a Padawan, you still learn how to not shit your pants.
the brain keeps developing until like 30 some
I know, it never stops creating new neurons. It's just a way to measure maturity and steps in life. Before the first quarter of your century you are an immature human.
>"they won't ruin our civilisation" >says the zoomer that can't type civilization even with this phone autocorrect
I was buying my own groceries and all that shit at 19. Peoples brains don't just magically turn on at 25. This is the same moron logic people in the dark ages had about babies magically not feeling pain until they were like 2 or whatever.
Do you want a fricking medal for buying your groceries at 19? I beat you because I did mine at 17, lived on my own at that age.
That's not the question. The question is at what point can you stand as a fully-developped, universally-minded being, who can bear all his emotions and ideas into a well-mannered human.
At 17 I was a kid, at 19, 21, 24, lived a whole lot, still was a kid. At 25 I still was a kid. At 27 now, I am an adult. At 31 you can still be a kid, I know a guy like that, his dad pays his rent and his mom buys his groceries, and he's a pussy.
What cracks me up about these moronic threads is that the whole "Liminal" thing didn't start as horror. It was just "cool images that feel a little uneasy in their emptiness"— like walking around a hotel at 3am. Not horror or fear so much as a vague sense of "you're not meant to linger here, and it would be weird to do so." Some people don't have the best vocabulary and express this as "creepy". The whole "horror" thing came from some dude on /x/ reframing one of the Liminal images to be about a place you'd fall into if you'd slip out of reality and how you should be scared if you hear something, which balloon into a community of (mostly teenagers) writing creepypasta about different floors and monsters in "the backrooms".
It's all pretty reasonable stuff, not really any different to any other internet horror phenomenon, but of course angry homosexuals on Ganker like OP have to make 99 threads a month to yell GUYS, ZOOMERS? DID YOU KNOW ZOOMERS? WHY ARE ZOOMERS LIKE THIS? DO ZOOMERS REALLY?
I find the backrooms unsettling because I've gotten lost twice as a young boy, once in a amusement park for like 2-3 hours that seriously scared me, thank god some cute girl who worked there noticed I was terrified and let me play with toys until my mom was told my dumb grandma she lost me, the other time in a super market that wasn't that long but brought those feelings of being lost and in isolation again, your surrounded by people but you don't know them, know you probably shouldn't trust them, you are utterly alone and helpless and the world keeps passing by around you like your not even there (why wouldn't adults help a crying lost terrified toddler) weird feeling even thinking back
Source Engine was built from the ground up for Half-Life 2, a horror game.
The audio systems in Source were designed to evoke an uncanny feeling, with some flexibility for other use cases.
It's not an accident that TF2 and Counter Strike are the only major Source games that don't convey a feeling of threatening shadowed corners and suppressive isolation.
why do zoomers shit their pants when they have to walk through empty hallways?

i believe solitary confinement has been a punishment since forever, not just the year 2000
Are you really comapring an empty source map to a 2x5 dark cell?
You're missing the point
It's called Solitary Confinement for a reason.
You're missing the confiment part lmfao
You're definitely wrong here, sorry but they're right.
Two by five what?
>Comparing sitting alone for 5 minutes in an empty space to fricking prison
lmao, do zoomer really
you are a dumb person
nuts how this flew over every autismo's head
Why are you such a homosexual?
Seething zoomoid detected
they grew up under constant vigilance and feel confused when they find themselves alone

>phobic to sexual minorities
the what now
homosexual's "agender". Don't want to make fun of him for it, but it's a symptom of his problem.
Heh.
Somebody should put this one side by side with the one that's pretty much the opposite story.

How do zoomers even manage to get errands done, serious question.
Why doing errands when you can use an app so someone else does them for you?
phone apps
if there isn't a phone app for it they can't do it

Oh god you're one of those morons that believes your brain just calcifies into solid bone at 25 and your life is over at that point, aren't you.

WHERE ARE THE PEOPLE Black personMAN, I NEED TO SEE PEOPLE HERE AAAAAAA IM GOING INSANE
They aren't, you're just a moronic child.
I thought Half-Life was scary when I was a 6 year old
As it should be. It's a game for grown-ups.

I mean, Half-Life was designed with horror elements in mind.
