Um. I need to ask something.

What *is* "The Backrooms" ... ? I don't mean what is the fictional world concept about, but what do you call the way that people are ... playing? Making? this ... RPG? Game? Campfire Story?

If you aren't familiar people interact with "The Backrooms" mostly by making up new areas that can be explored. It's like a RPG where everyone is the DM.

Is there a word for this?

@futurebird I’d call them a memetic myth/legend
@gemini6ice @futurebird I think it would be incredibly productive to rigorously reevaluate classical myth/legend/religion in light of the vast amount of data available on memetics and memetic storytelling in modern humans.
