I can’t describe how I feel when I see liminal spaces, it’s like a nostalgic, calming, throw back, with sadness, anger and scared at the same time.

[@ProdbyLamont]

Unsettling nostalgia I’d call it

[@kjek7414]

Why because of the scholastic book fair

[@theperfectburger9892]

It’s because liminal spaces are about trying to remind you of a memory that you don’t have. Sure at 0:15 you might have a fond memory of riding that horse or jumping on those couch seats, but we’re those seats always that blue? When was there a big lollipop toy in there? It’s all about Reminding you of those old fuzzy memories from childhood. Ones that you know but don’t understand. It makes you connect dots that don’t connect to begin with.

This makes me feel not only nostalgic but incredibly sad aswell. Like this is all that remains of my childhood, now just merely images permanently frozen in time. Images from a time in which I can never return. Images from a time that no longer exists except only in still images, videos and so on. It's like being intensely homesick for a home that is no longer there. This time will always be special to me and I will treasure it always 💗

Something about these images perfectly encapsulate what it's like to be a kid, specifically around like 4 or 5 years old. There's like a bit of enthusiasm and cheerfulness but also a sense of unknown and fear. Plus I feel like these are the kinds of places that you'd think about a lot as a child, for one reason or another, maybe because it brought a really happy feeling, or made you scared or sometimes just because it's interesting to you.

[@PunmasterSTP]

It's been a fun experience taking my kids to places like this, knowing that in the back of their minds they'll make similar memories. It can be an interesting age to live through, and an interesting age to see others living through.

[@MMSkittles-zw7zn]

@@andywest5773 That's true, but I'm too old to go to the playplaces that are shown here, so that's why it's nostalgic to me. Besides, right now my life isn't good, I'm suicidal plus I have non-supportive parents and a rude brother who didn't care when I told them (after struggling to tell them--It was hard to admit) that I have suicidal thoughts and I want to kill myself. On top of that, 3 years ago, my mom told me (on an leisurely evening walk---She wasn't mad and didn't blurt these words out) that "I wouldn't really care if you died. I have another child and I could just make another. Your brother is a lot more liked and popular than you and nobody at school even likes you, let alone wants to be your friend. I wouldn't even be DEVASTATED if you died. You're stupid anyway." Yup, those are her exact words. I never forgot, even after 3 years. Remembered the insults word for word. I even remember every insult my father and the internet gave me. I don't even have other family members to support me because none of them like me. I don't have friends to support me because I have never known how to socialize--I am socially awkward and shy, yet I want to make friends. And even then, I avoid people. I'd rather forget my memories from my teen years starting 3 months into being 13. (Also, sorry for over sharing, I've been doing that a lot when I type ever since I was 13)

[@sammysappy]

We're not even old like that, but it's just the fact that the feeling of us feeling like we were the center of society and had massive importance is so long gone that it makes us feel old. I still remember walking around at 8 years old thinking everything in 2008 was designed to appeal to kids... It was a great time to grow up, still filled with lots of imagination, creativity, and genuine uniqueness. It's so sad to think about the peers I grew up with that I believed had so much potential just being another one in millions of people... That feeling of losing the people who were main characters in your life to the totality of the human race is... depressing. It really washes away any sense of us having potential to affect this world... Leaving many of us to wander around as adults living depressed lives thinking back on the days that we felt like we used to matter... Even though we're no longer children, we can still feel like we're making an impact by focusing on what we really love and turning that to art. Thru any kind of art, this feeling of pent up frustration and reminiscing on the past can be turned to something everyone can understand and maybe even relate to. I do believe this is what led the person that uploaded this video to create it. Cheers.

Liminal spaces always bring me back to my childhood. To be honest, those early years weren't all sunshine, especially after my stepfather entered the picture. Yet, what I revisit isn't tied to a specific memory but rather a broad emotional experience. It's the sunsets in backyards on summer evenings, the scent of a small swimming pool wafting through the air, or encountering a mysterious hallway in a place beyond my young understanding. Back then, my world was a mix of mystery, fear of the unknown, and my friend's fenced backyard feeling like the scariest, largest place imaginable. Even venturing to the distant tree felt like a daring adventure. The colors of the sky, the clouds, and the sunsets were alien yet awe-inspiring. These memories, existing solely in my mind, occasionally resurface in small, random fragments. When I catch a glimpse or a whiff, there's a faint sense of familiarity, a recognition of a unique nostalgic memory-each experience holding its own charm.

[@PunmasterSTP]

When I was a kid I went to this place called Odyssey Fun World, which I guess is kind of like a really large Chuck E. Cheese with a bigger arcade and more attractions (including laser tag and bumper boats). And when I was a kid, it seemed like the most enormous entertainment place on Earth, at least after amusement parks like Walt Disney World. I haven't been back there since before leaving high school, and it'd be really cool to go again someday. If I do go back, I'd definitely take some pictures!

You’ll chat for a while, reminisce. Then, you’ll get the feeling it’s time to leave, to put these memories back in their box. You get home, and decide to look up the friend you met there on social media, to stay in touch… only to discover that they died years ago, not long after you lost contact. Is this weirdly specific?

I was born in 2010 and even I got super nostalgic off of these images (they remind me of places I used to go as a small child), so this definitely doesn’t just apply to people who grew up in the 2000’s. Good video tho.

[@CREEPER_CRAFT_YT]

Ive seen quite a few of these liminal space videos and this one take the cake for unsettling...within a minute i could feel my heart racing and my eyes widen...a sense of nostalgia and fear and sadness...then my body began twitching uncontrollably...wich i know theres some people that love making up all kinds of lies for attention but im being 100% serious when i say i could not control my movements..and trying to look away felt like i would be selling my soul to the devil...i just could not look away...i saw all these places and some almost looked familiar...i have no clue how showing a person random images would cause some strange feelings and uncontrollable movements but this video did just that...im 18 years old and remember my surroundings looking so much like the places show in these images...wich gave me tons of nostalgia and sadness that all those places are closed down or change there look to somthing blan...but it was weird to see them empty and almost frozen in time...and distorted...

[@PunmasterSTP]

It can be really strange to see these types of places deserted. For me, I'll always think about Sears, as I remember when they were all going out of business and I walked around inside of a couple of them while they were having their store closing sales.

[@jasonwebster4969]

Us millennials are getting older, from the time we were kids to as of late, we have witnessed the most dramatic changes in mankind’s history. Our childhood was spent in one world and our adulthood in something completely different. We feel alien and long to go back home to where things made more sense. When we view these scenes, those feelings are strongly invoked.

[@Shirtlessclown]

0:39 that’s literally my childhood mall. Marley station mall in Glen burnie Maryland. I can’t even begin to explain how deeply that hits me…

1:24 it reminds me of whenever you go to a fun place at a mall but the entrance is on the outside, you go into the attraction it has like mini arcades and stuff right, but you go to the back that connects to the rest of the mall and its just like weirdly creepy like it looks like you've been to some of the stores but at the same time it looks abandoned

Can anyone explain to me how liminal space videos and music are both unsettling and soothing at the same time? It makes no sense.

[@strawberrycrxme]

This is the one creepy genre that hasn’t washed out for me, it’s saturated perfectly and still maintains that nostalgic creepy feel I get when I see places like this in my dreams. I’m happy that I actually got to experience many places like these growing up, that’s why it impacts me really hard.

[@Unbelievinsane]

No words can even describe how much I’m in love with this video… These images are just amazing and make me think back to numerous things I’ve done when I was little, especially using the beautiful Windows Vista (as shown in the video), the thing I feel the most nostalgic for back in the day! I also really love the music too! 😍

[@Lowkey_LuLu]

This video made me re think about all of my childhood memories especially summer. I remember I would go over to on Eid my best friends house (Jade, I have no idea where she is or who she is now after like 7 years) but it was her grandmas house it was soooo cool and big there was like an extra attic space we would go and play in it had the best lighting and there was a back alley, she had a fun play room, the whole house was just nostalgic (summer childhood vibes). Then I also had my best friend who was like a sister to me who lived like an hour away but I would still go over like once a week every summer. It was a small house but super fun, it was by a farm so we would go play. I also haven’t seen that friend in probably over 8 years I think she moved, this makes me miss all my old friends and memories. Now summers aren’t as fun now that we all have phones and electronics. We all just stay in our rooms watching TikTok all day instead of going outside in the sun eating popsicles and biking around town with friends, or going to the pool/lake.

[@Cocytus127]

[@ourworldisbeautiful2912]

It would be more nostalgic if the places weren’t all abandoned and were pictures from when these places were open

[@littlegirlshowSynch]

Nah there's other ways to get that kind of nostalgia. That's how liminal spaces work, they're dark and abandoned so it makes your childhood feel even more gone and in the past. Stuff like schools, kids play places, kids stores, malls. Most of us have seen and been to these places it just wasn't these specific ones and they were generally more well lit and less empty lol

[@fishpickles6532]

I think I found this from watching backroom videos. This stuff is trippy and nostalgic. 👍

These pictures are making me cry, as a person who is born in 2007, i just want to go back.

[@aaabbb-ve9po]

When I was young I lived in a town in NY about an hour from the city. It was liminal space heaven with all the going out of business stores, a laundromat with a lounge area made to look like a living room which no one ever went to, a movie theatre so decrepit it ended up condemned years later and so many places had this weird “empty” internal architecture that always felt like it was missing something. At the time I loved these places and tried to explain why to my mom but I couldn’t. When I discovered this genre I literally teared up. I never knew a time where these places were bustling. My memory literally lies in things looking empty like this. I’m glad others can appreciate this as well.

[@Mr.Needle-Hamster]

This video reminded me of a simpler time. Back when I was a mere child with nothing else to worry about except for school. But now I've got all this other sh*t to worry about as life around me changes for the worst. And every day I can feel my own humanity slipping away

God these always make me cry. One picture can spark a memory that you didn’t know existed

[@henrythacker7369]

I described liminal spaces and why they're appealing to gen z and millennials is because it's not just a nostalgia for childhood, it's a nostalgia for a time in the past but it carries with it the feelings relevant to what we feel now. So it's like current feelings overlaying a memory. The current feelings would be represented by the fact they're empty, illustrating that we no longer go here anymore but they're a place we were familiar with meaning we feel like we did go here. So it's like the current state of a past memory being revealed to you.

[@THEOxxx197]

I was born in 2009, so I was a bit late, but I still experienced these nostalgic places and memories that make me want to cry every time I look at them. Im sad, because I feel like I grew up way too fast, but at the same time, I feel wonderful, because I got to experience these memories and hold onto them forever. It’s such a weird feeling.

[@beedslolkuntus2070]

It’s weird. I never even was so social or had friends. I was always locked inside. How can I relate to these. The only things that I can relate to visually with nice force is a bookshop store that had that carpet, that texture. The weird mix of colors sometimes remind me of some hospitals with pediatrics doctors rooms being decorated like that. I can’t seem to think much more.

[@WaffleWitch-c4q]

i dont always understand this world..but this video made me feel so many things, nostalgia , happiness, depression, anxiety but it also reminded me of life. Its most likely just my silly brain but i did write a speech? Of sorts while lietening to this I call it You matter - a nostalgic realization There are few things I never wish on anyone..yet long for them to experience is the nostalgic longing for a past you never had. The moments you once forgot brought back with simple pictures and music. We long for the past, we fear the future, and we take the present as being bad..when before our past was the now..where we could go to book fairs at school, ride those little coin operated rides like the apple car. Or where playgrounds were sacred places of imagination and not empty and void of joy. We take what we have experience for granted. Sure some may be bad and others worse…but there are those moments that shine like lost treasure. Golden memories with gems of happiness, sure now isn't the past..and things seem to get worse, we feel dumber or depressed. But we don't always feel that way, we enjoy our lives when we can..we experience our lowest points, we suffer alone with the constant war of thoughts flooding our head. What we should have done, what we shouldn't have said, so many thoughts. But through all that we survive- no we create we thrive. We may miss those golden days but that doesn't mean we can't make new ones. We may think everything sucks forever, but as my favorite quote states. At the end of everything….hold onto anything Cherish life as our most beautiful gift, a chance to create and experience everything. For in the end on our deathbed we will remember Remember all those who helped us, who hurt us and all those moments that made us human. Keep being human, keep experiencing life and keep trying to survive, create and be happy. For something as small as a gesture a simple compliment could mean the world to another. Keep growing and keep trying to experience life..for we only have one life. Treasure it as your greatest possession (With love and care to all who may see this..who took the time to read it all, thank you and take care.)

[@grandpagaming3142]

I was born in 2007 but I can relate to these images because I was a kid in the early to late 2010s and that had some 2000’s factors in it. The first image in this video looked like my middle school cafeteria and at school they used windows 7 operating systems and didn’t really change much when it got revamped in the 2000’s so my school was like a time capsule of the 2000’s era if you think about it
