Sure.
But OK, here's the thing.
Cam Parsons, 20, right?
Back rooms.
We all know because we've talked about on the show, but comes from a 4chan meme.
I think I'm so interested in how we're increasingly post-language.
And especially with young people, like memes are borderline post-language.
The way Gen Alpha uses words like niche and aesthetic, it's post-language, you know?
And I felt this film was in many ways like the first piece of art I've seen that captures that post-language kind of landscape.
It's just we're hurtling towards that.
I don't even, it's like, I feel sometimes the way, and it's film to film, but I feel the way sometimes about films that I do about music and songs, which is like, I don't really care what the filmmaker's intention was that it was about.
I care what I thought it was about.
Like, I don't care what Stephen Malkmus wrote Summer Babe about.
That's about me and my high school boyfriend.
Do you know what I mean?
I do.
And I thought backrooms really provided that for me.
And I was able to like kind of have this like journey of the psyche around it.
And also it just like it captured a thing for me that I think about a lot in, like I said, post-language, extremely online world, which is that like...
everything is sort of this like existential crisis all the time.
