“Backrooms” is about the Gen Z experience of living amid the cultural detritus of the 1990s, faded photocopies of a decade that - at least aesthetically - never ended.
The uncanny reality of a 20-year-old witnessing Oasis reunions, “Frasier” revivals, “What’s Goin’ On?” memes.
I have no problem whatsoever believing a 19/20 year old made Backrooms but it did feel weird to me seeing a movie set in 1990 made by someone who wasn't born until a few years after 9/11.
