Yes i agree
Yeah
Agreed
I 2nd this!
me too! I like these vids
if you've ever just gone a day without sleeping then went outside, you know exactly how liminal that feels
Of course, because dawn is between days. So, it is, by definition, liminal.
That is so true!

@@Periwinkleaccount no thats not what i meant...
@@CG64Mushro0m I know.
I live in UK and most places don't seem liminal no matter where you would be. I went on vacation to america and everything felt so surreal and odd. It triggered alot of liminal space feelings because of how larger and spacous everything is.
I don't know, my local library in Reading feels quite liminal and unnerving, like it's been stuck in the early 2000s.
Interesting… I would think it may have to do with the US still being a relatively young country, so much of the architecture isn’t very old compared to many European buildings which were made to last for ages that are often beautiful and have a classic feel nice matter their age. Our stuff deteriorates or we take on styles that go out of fashion very quickly and become outdated, making them feel wrong and eerie out of context. Honestly a lot of these remind me of old creepy country churches, day cares, my mom’s workplace, doctors offices, storage buildings etc. So many of these liminal images bring me back to weird memories of my childhood and my uncomfortable dreams of the past which adds a strange element to it.
For me, this is the best explanation/analysis on liminal spaces out there, because it manages to break down and explain both the physical and mental/emotional elements that make up all parts of the aesthetic as a whole very clearly, and also succeeds in explaining that the liminal spaces aesthetic is one of those things that just hits a bit differently for everyone.
The creepiest, yet most calming ones are the ones that look like a pool ,but with stairs or doorways to go through.
Also, liminal spaces can make us both uncomfortable and super comfortable. For someone who is more introverted, I feel like the fact that nobody is there comforts them. And for extroverts, I feel like because nobody's there they feel uneasy, as if something could get them, because they are not in a group. They don't have someone who could protect them. It could be both. I don't even know what the ambiverts are thinking when they watch this.
I kind of describe myself as an ambivert? I dunno, tho, maybe more of an introvert. But honestly, i just have the description of an extrovert when i look at these.
I feel uneasy looking at the no people pictures because it feels like I’m not alone
@@aguywhohasonlyjonhiskeyboard that's what I'm saying it's like you feel empty but you know something's watching you. Waiting to strike.
@@aguywhohasonlyjonhiskeyboard Fun Fact: You're never alone. No, i'm not trying to be scary. You are literally never alone. There are about 7.7 billion people in the world. There is always a person on the world, meaning you are never alone (unless humans become endangered and you're the only one left, then you're alone. but honestky the chances of that are probably near impossible.)
@@SplatDatMat I'm an ambivert I think. I lean more extrovert though
Liminal spaces is *the* best aesthetic I've ever seen, and without exaggeration. I swear it's like somebody screenshotted a part of my dream, or a deep obscure, distant memory in my head. I love it. And im glad youre giving it attention, your videos are entertaining on this stuff and the sound/music match the images perfectly
Numer too
I feel the same way, it brings out a feeling I've always chased and tried to hold on to and could never explain.
True
i can’t empathize this enough. i love liminal spaces. it’s my favorite and i never get tired of them. i love the music and sounds. 🤍
700th like
I love liminal spaces. I got so addicted that now I feel derealization and sometimes feel like if I'm fake. Also, sometimes I really wish I could be in those places.
liminal spaces have always amazed me in an unexplainable way
Hello member
Hearing Polygon Donut talk about the Backrooms has completed my life.
Go watch catmeme timeline
@@Alice1apple already did, just forgot

@@PolygonDonut hi polugo n donute
@@PolygonDonut the cuh 🫁
I used to be horrified of liminal spaces but now they seem more interesting and less eerie, but still feel like something’s off.
Are you in the backrooms
@@trevorfredrickson this was two years ago
I remember as a kid when I’d used to walk to my friend’s house in the early morning hours before school, before the sun had come up and it was still really dark outside. I lived in a smaller town and no one was outside at that time (usually), so it was always so quiet. And most of the houses and small streets I’d walk by were dark with only a small orangey colored street light on the corner.
I used to get the most surreal feelings at those times. Now when I watch your video, I realize I walked and lived in a liminal space. It always felt different at night compared to the day, sometimes creepy, but always so peaceful. I still have dreams to this day of that small town and my old house…
Liminal spaces are old buildings that built old memories that will be never forgotten
Hey Polygon, as an expert on psychology of nostalgia, I'm, really glad you made this video explaining liminals spaces. I'd make one myself but I'm too lazy
that sounds like the fakest title i’ve ever fucking heard
I'm really enjoying this series about weird internet aesthetics, It's entertaining and imformative. Keep up the good work pongo donute
THANK YOU

@@PolygonDonut what do you use for the fonts in ur videos and is is downloadable on android?
7:05 been there it's a myrtle beach hotel in South Carolina. The reason the windows are blacked out is because it's the bedroom windows.
10:00 proves Minecraft's superflat world is a liminal space.
Yes
i love the audio design for this, and learning something more about this part of the internet is really interesting. I haven't really done any research to liminal spaces so it's nice to see it put into a small 12 minute video.
It's really cool to see you making videos about topics you clearly like, keep it up!!
thank you@!!
@@PolygonDonuti love your channel pongon
@@PolygonDonuthellooo pongon
3:16 dude I’ve never seen that picture before but that’s probably the one that feels most familiar to me. I’ve been to a hotel before that had a couch of that same shape and similar color, extremely similar wall and carpets and it even had that window with the blinds, and the kitchen behind that half wall (which was also in that hotel room) had similar cabinets and countertops. The table in the center, there was something like that, the TV, there was a similar, old fashioned TV on a stand that looked extremely similar. I know I haven’t been there but holy crap that gives me the chills.
for me it looks like one of the roblox flicker maps
i dont know man i just think it does
thats what liminal spaces do
Wait I think I’ve been there too was this in hawaii?

hearing an earthbound intro is a great intro to liminal spaces
Ayo polygon, just wanted to say your videos an editing keep getting better and better! Honestly I love this so much! :)
Thank you :)))
@@PolygonDonut smiley face go "nyeeh"
I think this is the best explanation of what a liminal space is on the internet
I love your use of sound design!! It adds so much on how the image feels, like the kind of nostalgic dreamlike sounds that plays with some images making it feel uneasy yet comforting, like you can spend some time by youself enjoying the lack of other life or the emptiness of a never ending hallway with only the buzzing of fluorescent lights to comfort you (seriously the addition of the fluorescent light buzz was so cool!) great video :D
Thank yoj so much :)
I agree, you're really good at it. Were you going to upload another compilation like you did for the Weirdcore images?
@@PolygonDonut yeah, thank yoj for the video.

The best liminal space experience I had IRL was when I went to an airport just as it was opening it 4 AM but I also hadn't gotten any sleep. Seeing a pretty much empty airport with some most stores closed with lights off and being tired made it a little unsettling. Amazing experience.
The liminal pools are my favorite kind, because it has that abandoned/unused aesthetic like maybe some type of incident happened or maybe it was just left there to write and it got flooded for all of those years, giving you wonder about how it got flooded in the first place and how the water can be green, brown, or light blue deep or shallow it has endless of style you can use it for and it would still be the same type of liminal space
6:24 glad to see some memes still incorporated into these vids!
i love liminal spaces and its cool that you talk about them
I love the way you explain these aesthetics. I'm tryna make my own weirdcore/liminal art and these videos rly help me understand how to make my art feel uncanny
i love how you explain weirdcore and liminal spaces oml please do more content like this bc id definitely watch them all
Have you played the liminal spaces horror game? It feels so well developed. the game is called Anemoiapolis.
Yes im waiting for the full release!!!
7:20
This one reminds me of a story I heard of a girl and her family stuck in a bunker because of toxic waste outside.
I'm pretty sure they could go outside because they were high enough so that it couldn't reach them, like on a high hill.
Nobody went outside though, and they all needed someone to go outside to get things, and all but the girl were weak, but the girl, fearful, stayed in her spot instaid.
One by one, her family members died. She was all alone, and decided to finnaly go outside.
She ended up fine and could breathe. She could've saved them.
She then died because she jumped off the hill into the waste.
Am I the only one who remembers or have heard of this story?
what
@@beepboopbop6439 dont worry im confused too
That’s messed up honestly
I think I have... a memory is resonating...!
Wa-
You should definitely do more of these videos. Sometimes during class on my break time, I would watch these on the Chromebook and these videos have been my favorite ever since, especially the Weirdcore/Dreamcore ones where you sound design them. The music you use is PERFECT and the voice is good as well. Pls make more, as a person who made Weirdcore edits and also even made GMod Liminal Space maps, I love these videos, you did really awesome on these. :)
I appreciate the fact that you address just how hard it is to define liminal spaces/images. To me, they feel one of two ways. One you touched on, which is stuck. Stuck between what was and what will be, stuck in a perpetual present. You pass through that present when you pass through the space, but sticking around makes you feel stuck yourself. An deeply unsettling feeling, but one that passes once you leave.
The other feeling is one I called shared memory. It can be summed up with the phrase "this memory belongs to everyone." Some liminal spaces (and most of my favorites) can elicit memories that most people can relate to. A secional couch in a downstairs living room, pointed towards a tube tv playing spongebob. A school library after dark. A now empty blockbuster building. These spaces drip with surreal familiarity that so many people can recall, even if they've never been there before, especially if that space represents a transitional period of time. That sense of "I know this place, but Ive never been here" elicits such a unique feeling of longing, but sometimes a paradoxical dread that makes you want to get away or stop looking, but at the same time makes you stay put.
One of my all time favorite liminal images hits this sharee memory and longing dread incredibly hard. Its a meadow surrounded by tree covered hills on a dark, overcast day. The image quality is low, af if taken on an early 2000s picture phone. Every time I look at it, I feel an intense desire to go there, but a simultanious inexplicable dread
I insanely love how Poly makes a damn scientific works about the internet culture for someone who knows it badly or doesn't know at all (I'm this kind of people, hehe, thanks for liminal spaces and weirdcore videos). I feel insanely nostalgic, just like watching some kind of message in class from that guy who waste a lot of time to do it, putting all their soul to the work, feeling awful that there's not much who can see this masterpiece because of everyone just thinking and doing their own stuff. Very good job, so bad I can't do much but press the like button. Can't wait for the vaporwave music stuff or something like this.
Thank you!! :)
If I'm correct I know where 9:17 is at and have actually been there, it's some sort of aircraft museum.
Isn’t that the Detroit Air zoo? I’ve been there multiple times and I vividly remember this
Im pretty sure it is
This is exactly what I'm looking for in a video this vibe the pictures u use the over analyzing the weird internet anesthetics I just love it and i keep watching the series on repeat at night plz do more
Not even joking, this video has become one of my comfort videos and I've watched it several times now. The way you explain things, the sound design, the visuals: top teir.
i love these types of videos, as i love these types of images
you literally got me into weirdcore from the last video and i already like liminal so i cant wait for this
This is a really great analysis of liminal spaces, especially the atypical ones.
Even before I heard about liminal spaces, I remember sometimes feeling a weird comfort for these kind of transitional places and places taken out of their context. Complex underground structures like basements of large buildings, subway stations, maintenance tunnels etc. in particular have a special adventurous and mysterious feeling to them. I think that is why there are so many games set in maze-like underground tunnels/dungeons.
And places like schools at night always had this interesting and eerie feeling to them, I often noticed that before the term liminal space was known, I remember in particular spending the whole night in my universities computer room to work on my projects and having this feeling when walking through the dark and empty hallways at night with no one around.
Here are some more things that can have liminal feelings:
-Rooms without windows. I noticed that in one of the computer rooms in our university in the middle of the building with no windows as well, it gives a weird feeling of being shut off from the outside world. The same feeling underground places give you, like you are completely separated from day and night.
-Outdoor elements inside buildings. When things like large trees, grass, landscapes with plants, ponds, house fronts, walls, roofs etc. that are normally supposed to be outdoors are inside buildings, especially if it is inside smaller cozy rooms meant for living there.
-Vehicles taken out of context. This can be a boat on land far away from any water, a plane in the forest, a car inside a small room (rooms where people live) or a bus, truck or train car that has its interior built into a house for living, especially if the original seats are still there but people use it as a living house.
10:41 this photo and this photo 10:45 are extremely nostalgic to me! The first one reminds me of my preschool days and visits to this church my aunt went. I’d frequently play with the kids there.
The second one is whimsically nostalgic. A hazy memory. Reminds me of the days before any of my preschool days. The days where I’d lounge around with my Pappie on a hot summer day with a fan, eating sausage and bacon, playing Leapfrog games on a box TV in my room. The days where my Pap would drive me up to my dad’s to stay in which my dad would play Kiss songs nonstop; especially “Shandi” because he named me after it :D and the days when I’d be in our living room watching TV before bed.. probably some time in the late 2000s. My god.. I miss it so much.
It also reminds of when I’d be taken to my other Grandpa’s house (he was my grandma’s ex) with my Pap and Gram to sit as they fixed things over there. I’d just chill in the living room and it looked just like that image! And y’know what? I bet the house in that image smells just like cigar smoke just as that house did.

I suggested this :D
*Thanks for making this video pongon!*
Thank you! I have been wondering why i kept having an eerie yet non horror feeling everytime i see pictures like these. Especially the pool ones. Chills🥶
I love liminal spaces, the calm, meditative state they provide while I try to figure myself out, they are quite therapeutic to me, actually, especially when they appear in my dreams. It’s sad that the meaning is being clouded by people who don’t understand it.
I know this comment does not have enough money for what you deserve for explaining those images and phenomenons in magnificent ways.
I'm going to say words in this message/comment and I have more words to say but I dont have them in my head right now. Idk if i cannot edit my comment later if possible I don't know how donation comments work.
Anyways..
My friend you deserve the entire world and more for explaining those pictures in such a sweet harmonic video it was so lovely to view and watch and as soon as you got into the third little section in your video I immediately subscribed I was taken with awe by how simple you made these things seem to people. I can just send this video in my friends and me not knowing how to describe a liminal space, now they can finally understand it clearly and they can understand my cravings because of your excellence.
You are truly a magnificent human being and you deserve more than 5 fucking dollars my stupid ass is broke thru google pay or i would give you more and more and more ❤❤❤❤
Thank you from the bottom to the top of my head toes heart feet and soul you are actually wonderful and I litterally cant thank you enough
You truly made me feel emotion like no other Video ever could here on TH-cam. You put the audio with pictures you put sounds I know and love in the creepy things and wonderful blissful nostalgic things and for that my friend you deserve 1000 million trillion stars not just 5
Liminal spaces are my life, if i go back on google maps back to 2009 oh the wonder and excitement i get from seeing those wonderful coloresque grainy vr type photos oh its so lovely
I'm not kidding if somebody asked me if I would rather live in this real world or be trapped in the backrooms, i would say the backrooms without a beat. Yes my family and friends would maybe miss me and maybe just fall out but i dont care. I love the thought of the danger, the nostalgia, the freedom. Soak in the digital windows xp oxygen.
Gander at the endless hallways leading to nowhere and nowhere and nowhere. Imagine if there was something chasing you
Like a life or death tag oooh yummy
Anyway my point is your video is great and i am now your #1 fan and supporter and i just saw at the end of the video that you have a weirdcore analysis so ima check that shit out w glee next.
Thank you kind person, i forgot your name but youre fucking awesome :)
I hope you like my measly 5$ lol thank you for bringing me such joy ❤❤
Do more Timeline stuff btw that's really fun to listen to I know these video's take a lot of time but I hope you do one of these soon thanks and have a nice day
Finally someone made a video on these amazing images. I looooooove these types of videos like this and the weirdcore one! hope you make more of these
To me, liminal spaces bring me comfort, as these images for me kinda become screenshots of my memories. I experience memory loss, so sometimes some memories are blurry to me while others are just a little bit of an idea of a memory, so these images are very comforting in reminding me at least a little bit of what that memory is.
That was so good, I've never seen this topic be explained well until now
1:18

I remember dreaming about this EXACT pool when I was around 4 years old

Just watched this, very good editing and voice acting
Pongon never gave us up!
You're popping off with the documentary type videos these are SOOO entertaining and cool! Awesome sound design as always!
I love your take on liminal spaces. It's always a bit frustrating when ppl constantly describe them as transitional.. bc a lot of liminal spaces aren't.. how is an empty Chuck E. Cheese transitional?
Liminal literally means "pertaining to a threshold". Not "altered reality". Not "creepy" or "eerie". Just that, transitional. A lot of things are mistakenly described as "liminal" because people just don't get it.
5:48 IS a real place that you can book a night to and also yes, there is a exit it’s to the left and right.
Yeah i know, but in the image it looks very liminal because of its framing
@@PolygonDonut true.
ive been searching the true meaning for liminal spaces and by far u have been the one to deliver
6:28 I don't think you truly understand how happy I was to see this picture in this video.
I remember coming across it a couple months ago when trying to find info about that "The end is near" library.
It made me feel more nostalgic than any other liminal space photo i've seen before.
Even though I know it's a library, for whatever reason it reminded me of a jewelry store I went to many years ago.
Loved the video, and especially that part. :)
I find it so crazy that the Pool ones are a thing. I so vividly remember a nightmare I had at least 20 years ago that looked so much like them.
I think it was triggered by looking through the grates of the wave machine when swimming
If a liminal space classifies as "the in-between of things" then does that mean that New Polynomers City is a liminal space?
Because it's the one thing between me and mental sanity
I don’t know why, but in all of your videos, (not just this one) I always feel a sense of nostalgia watching them. I don’t know why you cause this feeling, but you do, and i like this videos.
Absolutely love the music in this video, it's incredible
What scares me is that there is nothing living in these spaces, so there is no reason to be scared, but we still get scared
i absolutely love your energy and style, really cool video dude!!!
Thank u so muhcc

I discovered you through your Weirdcore video and came across this one. This is the best explanation of liminality I've come across! I subbed. Can't wait for your other liminal and aesthetic videos!
Thank you!!!
Loved this video and the funny but also respectful way you explained this concept, subscribed
6:52 be like: AYO WHAT IN DA HELL IS PIKACHU DOING IN THERE!?
One dream I’ve had recently was that I found myself in a grocery store with my grandmother (and several other people). The grocery store seemed normal at first, until I noticed that a sports store was attached to it, and I checked out the hockey jerseys that were there.
Since this store in my dreams broke the rules of reality, it’d be considered a liminal space.
Huh, I had seen a lot of these type of images but I didn't know what they were exactly, so this video has been really informative. Thanks Polygon Donut for your share of knowledge.
i love this so much that i have watched it around 5 times already, i could watch this all day
Just wanna say, this is a great video and I love your editing.
THANKS
ok but 8:59 is a vibe fr...
Just gazing out the window at the blue sky and clouds, feeling the warm sun on your face. It's like an eternal summers day. Very calming.
This is definitely one of my top 3 favorite videos on TH-cam :)
The mysterious and lonely ones freak me out THE most, as we are pack animals and would rather be with others than alone. We also would rather make the fear known than fear the unknown
11:30 I spat out my drink, the splatoon 2 music hits diffrent!
Instead of making those discord server videos as your main content, i'd love having these kind of explanation type videos, especially on other aesthetics like traumacore. I love your editing style and it really fits for this kind of content, keep up the good work!
I am making that shift right now, i felt a little stuck with discord videos and they were hard to really grow with. I will be doing videos on niche topics i like more often now because its much more fun :)
@@PolygonDonut pog
I watched your vids for years and as soon as I saw this vid of my 2 favourite things I 100% had to watch it
i think this is the best explanation of what a liminal space is that ive seen on youtube
I think sometimes the reason that sudden disappearance of life in public spaces is scary is because your brain tries to put together a reason as to why life has suddenly vanished, but it can't so it starts imagining all sorts of things and it further drives your fear and panic, mainly with the fear of unknown.
interesting video, i am both freaked out and interested by liminal spaces
I just found your channel and i absolutely hooked, please do more! Theres are other cores aesthetic as well or even the topic of 'uncanny' itself, would love to listen to you talk about them!
Your vids are absolutely amazing!
Yooo, such a good explanation of the topic, and a pretty flawless analysis of the phenomenon. Viewing something in a new context makes a space liminal and the reason so many different types of liminal spaces exist is because of the many ways in which you can switch around the context.
The backrooms, you talked only about level 0, but there's alot more. Some of those liminal spaces you have shown are indeed backrooms levels, like level 188 and level 130. Although I think this video is mostly correct and works good to informate people about liminal spaces.
I've rewatched this for more than 30 times because this is so good
True story. I was 9 years old. My mother worked in a medium sized office building during the day and would come home at around dinnertime every night. She came home a little later than usual but no more than a couple minutes later she realized she forgot her case back at the building. Luckily just her boss was still in the building at the time and said it was OK to come and get it when she called. I was completely restless so my mom brought me along to die down my rush.
So once we got in building my curiosity got the best of me and I started to wander down the halls while she went to get her case. No sight of people rushing around, no sounds of phone calls and typing, no lights behind any doors...Just the office ceiling lights and me were the only things active. Every step made me more and more nervous but I kept going because I wanted to see more. My little footsteps and my breath were the only noises cutting through the thick silence. I would pause sometimes and hold my breath because I thought I heard someone thing that wasn't me or my mom all the way down this hall. It would be so quiet...so quiet that my brain would make up noises to fill in the void, but that only made me more jumpy.
I heard a tiny thud from the ceiling and that was enough to send 9 year old me over the edge. I started bawling and ran back to the front doors as fast as I could. By the time I got to the doors my throat and eyes burned. Thankfully my mom had gotten her case and asked why I was crying. I only pointed down the hall and sniffled. She sighed and took my hand and we got outta there. She was able to calm me down when we got home and let me sleep in her room for the night. It was one of the most terrifying things I had ever gone through...My fear was not that I was alone, but that I WASN'T alone...
If we all gather every single liminal space image ever, we could create some sort of "Liminal-Earth"
Just imagine a whole planet, but no there are no people, no animals, no creatures, just you, your slowly decaying conscience, and your loneliness

Scuse me “LATEX?”
Best video on yt explaining this topic ngl
This video was really well made and you’ve shown me that liminal spaces are really cool
This series is great!
thank you :)
really great video, helped me get the terms to properly discuss liminal spaces that I've been lacking! Although, i would recommend you reducing redundancy in your writing, because it does seem like you sometimes repeat ideas ad nauseaum like "this is what makes a liminal space" over and over, But other than that, great video!!
Yeah im not too good at writing these videos yet, thank you for the feedback!
The art of liminal photography is sureal.
You've somehow managed to make me realize how much I love tiled surfaces. I don't know why, but tiles and water just does it for me.
I like liminal spaces because they feel comforting but something is off...like, it makes you calm but it also makes you feel like that maybe something something isn't right, maybe the empty place isn't really empty...maybe this isn't the reality your used to... making you question if it's a dream, a memory, or "true" reality...I just like it for that ☺️
8:33 it's just me and the boys building in minecraft
Liminal space i know, my house in the night, being a night owl im in there a lot, the sound of fans, nobody appears to be there, it gives a very liminal feeling
