What are backrooms and where do they “come from?”

120 views

I guess get them “physically” and semi conceptually, but I don’t understand the context/culture behind them or where the idea comes from or when they’re used/how/why/where. Like is it all conceptual or is it literal regarding video game creation? Or is it the ‘creation’ of some random and specific pocket of the internet? And how did it become a semi-mainstream concept to where it is in my consciousness and I’m asking this question? TIA.

In any place that serves the public: hotels, shops, restaurants, bars, etc. there are front rooms and back rooms. The front rooms are the places accessible to everyone, where the customers usually do their business. The back rooms are only accessible by staff. These are rooms like offices, storage rooms, etc. The cultural concept of the back room is that any business conducted there is out of the public eye and therefore secret.
