Liminal spaces are the subject of an Internet aesthetic portraying empty or abandoned places that appear eerie, forlorn, and often surreal. Liminal spaces are commonly places of transition (pertaining to the concept of liminality) or of nostalgic appeal.

I imagine pulling one of those blinds open and seeing that background of endless skyscrapers around your own, with no activity anywhere. Except when you briefly spy "something" in a far window, that suddenly turns and looks at you then runs out of sight. That was one of the most frightening scenes in all the Backrooms stuff.
