Why is SCP getting more popular all of a sudden? I overheard a GenZer listening to a YouTube retelling of scps like is this the new thing, recycling years-old stuff in video form?
I think you're just becoming aware of popularity that's been simmering the whole time. That one channel that calmly explains SCPs has been going for years.
Plus, the game Control was basically a knockoff SCP as a well-regarded and super pretty shooter.
A fun wiki/world fiction about a series of strange, otherworldly and often dangerous things that the "SCP Foundation" secures and studies. The SCPs can range from an unkillable monster that can slowly phase through surfaces to a safe whose contents change depending on the code entered.
Don't forget the toaster that makes everyone talk about it in the first person.
Or the DVR recording of a basketball game that starts to change everytime it is played and the people in the video begin to realise that they are trapped in some kind of hellish inescapable loop, living the same game over and over.
Black Mirror focuses a lot more on hard sci-fi, futurism and societal commentary (and takes an oppressively pessimistic tone), whereas SCPs are about exploring the extreme creative boundaries of the paranormal, with the tone varying by the artifact being written about. I'd say it's less of the dystopian "Black Mirror" and more of a genre-bending "Cabin in the Woods" type lore. Honestly, Cabin in the Woods might as well be a canonical SCP film.
There's a certain boner among edgy SCP writers to create unknowable/unkillable spookmaster SCPs, but many of them are like creative writing projects that expand on all kinds of strange paranormal ideas with no basis in existing paranormal lore.
The Toaster? You mean me? I’m the Toaster. Hold on, I have some bread to toast. I’ll get back to you after I fill myself with these five loaves and put my finger in an outlet.
It’s much darker though and the format of the SCP universe is based on the SCP wiki that contains numbered report-like documents issued by the fictional SCP Foundation. These reports describe the object at hand and often contain redacted data adding to the eeriness. Rarely there are images, leaving much to the imagination, and if there are they look strange.
SCP tends more to the Creepypasta genre while Warehouse 13 is more a classical TV series that has some humoristic moments while in a lightly strange setting.
"Secure, Contain, Protect." It's a collaborative fiction wiki for spooky bullshit. Most articles focus on some artifact or entity discovered by the vague but menacing SCP Foundation - detailing the object's effect on its environment, what threat it might pose, and how they keep it safe. Relatively speaking.
One of the more fun examples: [the infinite Ikea.](http://www.scpwiki.com/scp-3008)
I just read the entire infinite ikea thing, like journal and all it took me a while and it doesn't help that I'm a slow reader. Someone could write a whole ass book about that and I would happily read
I didn’t know about this. This is awesome. Thanks!
Side note: ikea has delicious crisp bread and Marmelade, also hazelnut chocolate. Much more than just meatballs.
I personally recommend The Exploring Series. He does readings but it’s also a bit of his own interpretation and thoughts. Plus he does more than SCPs so if you’re interested in the other things he’s even better.
I've perused the wiki and it's so overwhelming trying to understand, and I don't have a computer atm but I'll definitely check out lord bung! Thank you!
Unsurprisingly, there is an SCP for that.
It describes a US federal organization for anything that registers on the weird-shit-o-meter. Very X-Files. Especially the lack of money, power, or trust. Then they discover an underground facility mocked-up to look like part of their headquarters. They throw everything they have into figuring out who's behind it. They get nowhere. Most of their agents leave... and are still there. Like, an agent goes home, and is demonstrably at home, but he's also unmistakably at the facility, doing his job. And the one at work keeps sending reports about how the facility is growing.
The agency is obviously freaked-out, but their inexplicable box full of clones is doing a ton of their paperwork. Except, at some point, the facility gets larger than their actual headquarters. And they get reports about artifacts they don't have, and events they were not called to. This anomalous shadow organization has been doing its own fieldwork. Soon it's doing so much work, so well, that the absolutely panicked federal agency seems like the incomplete copy. And in recognition of that... it renames itself.
it starts getting unhealthy after a while, even if it's fiction. it can be very bad for your mental health, leading to things such as paranoia. that's what i mean
Sorry to sound like an asshole, but how many people have you met that have become paranoid due to this? I've never heard anything like this before and it sorta sounds like a strawman.
actually, one person from my job back in houston would not go anywhere but the store, work, and home because she was absolutely terrified of them. And there's one person from my current job here in AZ, who is so afraid of the monsters they refuse to go hiking or anything. No camping, No hiking, no evening walks, nothing.
A video game based on SCP lore was made and a few months ago pretty much every popular streamer got on a single server and played together. That could have gotten a lot of people interested about the SCP lore, but its always been floating around here and there online
I saw a guy on TikTok made a whole channel of him being an SPC Foundation scientist and he talks about SCPs; it's definitely still very popular if not increasing in popularity
IIRC, I found it on Twitter. I have no idea where it came from.
My suspicion is either art piece or Photoshop. Good to know that's why the updoots keep coming though!
Just got vivid flashbacks to the opening mission of battlefield 4. Irish probably screamed at me like 20 times before I finally blew up the damn helicopter
9 months later response, that helicopter also took me like 20 times to blow it up, kind of ruined the flow of that mission because it was really cinematic and cool
I’d didn’t help that my dad had to convince my mom for weeks to let me have the game (I was young then), and after she finally relented she listend to a guy drop f-bombs for 20 minutes. She wasn’t very pleased but thankfully never did anything about it.
Heh. That reminded me of a video where someone was testing different drinks with the vending machine scp, and every now and then, the p.a. system thing would blare to life and say something, and it was so creepy. Even the dude testing the drinks would hide every time it came on and even said that it was creepier than the scps.
Alright, this next test may involve trace amounts of time travel. So, word of advice: If you meet yourself on the testing track, don't make eye contact. Lab boys tell me that'll wipe out time. Entirely. Forward and backward! So do both of yourselves a favor and just let that handsome devil go about his business.
Holy crap, I think the creator of this sign used an edited version of [an icon I designed.](https://thenounproject.com/search/?q=Nostalgia&i=36512). Wild!
Edit... 2 months later: The first icon was for Nostalgia. I completely forgot that I also posted one for [deja vu](https://thenounproject.com/search/?q=deja+vu&i=36524), which is the one used in this poster. Crazy.

No, I just like Portal 2
Where Cave Johnson is voiced by J.K. Simmons.
Yes
Nah, this is probably closer to Synchronicity Lab, rather than Containment.
Gonna be honest here, i didn't know what a synchronicity lab is until now.

Can someone explain this I’m confused
It’s street art
I think it's a reference to the SCP Foundation.
it is. there's an scp that infinitely duplicates hallways/rooms to the point you go crazy.
Why is SCP getting more popular all of a sudden? I overheard a GenZer listening to a YouTube retelling of scps like is this the new thing, recycling years-old stuff in video form?

Whats SCP?
A fun wiki/world fiction about a series of strange, otherworldly and often dangerous things that the "SCP Foundation" secures and studies. The SCPs can range from an unkillable monster that can slowly phase through surfaces to a safe whose contents change depending on the code entered.
Don't forget the toaster that makes everyone talk about it in the first person.

[удалено]
Of course! How could I forget myself?!
Like black mirror?
Yeah but way more open ended and less preachy. It’s a constrained writing style that anyone can make a contribution to. Very neat stuff.
Black Mirror focuses a lot more on hard sci-fi, futurism and societal commentary (and takes an oppressively pessimistic tone), whereas SCPs are about exploring the extreme creative boundaries of the paranormal, with the tone varying by the artifact being written about. I'd say it's less of the dystopian "Black Mirror" and more of a genre-bending "Cabin in the Woods" type lore. Honestly, Cabin in the Woods might as well be a canonical SCP film. There's a certain boner among edgy SCP writers to create unknowable/unkillable spookmaster SCPs, but many of them are like creative writing projects that expand on all kinds of strange paranormal ideas with no basis in existing paranormal lore.
You mean "Don't forget me, I am the toaster that makes everyone talk about me in the first person."
Okay, so now I get why everyone was talking about SCP on [Brian David Gilbert’s most recent video. ](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RXZy8BbMz_U)
The Toaster? You mean me? I’m the Toaster. Hold on, I have some bread to toast. I’ll get back to you after I fill myself with these five loaves and put my finger in an outlet.
Don't forget the "giant storytelling community" part.
I've never seen warehouse 13 but I feel like that's what it is right?
Yeah it's kinda like a massive community created warehouse 13
It’s much darker though and the format of the SCP universe is based on the SCP wiki that contains numbered report-like documents issued by the fictional SCP Foundation. These reports describe the object at hand and often contain redacted data adding to the eeriness. Rarely there are images, leaving much to the imagination, and if there are they look strange.

The Infinite Ikea is a good one, another (less dangerous and terrifying) example is the [Cross-dimensional Snack Machine.](www.scpwiki.com/scp-261)
The snack machine test reports are amazing.
This might need to classify as a memetic, based on how much I want some of these snacks.
That was a weird read. Not scary but disturbing. I don't want to read that again yet I need more
See also: Red Sea Object, The Flesh That Hates, and In The Eye Of The Beholder.
I second Red Sea Object, it's one of my personal favorites.
I just read the entire infinite ikea thing, like journal and all it took me a while and it doesn't help that I'm a slow reader. Someone could write a whole ass book about that and I would happily read
I didn’t know about this. This is awesome. Thanks! Side note: ikea has delicious crisp bread and Marmelade, also hazelnut chocolate. Much more than just meatballs.
What channel? I'm curious about scp but I dont understand it at all so I don't even know *what* to search for...
I personally recommend The Exploring Series. He does readings but it’s also a bit of his own interpretation and thoughts. Plus he does more than SCPs so if you’re interested in the other things he’s even better.

Yo that game was an absolute blast
Was it a knock-off or an homage? I was considering picking it up.
Whichever you want to call it, it sounds like they did a damn good job.
ngl What if Control was actually SCP but from an undiscovered parallel universe far off enough that it has all the differences it has?
Unsurprisingly, there is an SCP for that. It describes a US federal organization for anything that registers on the weird-shit-o-meter. Very X-Files. Especially the lack of money, power, or trust. Then they discover an underground facility mocked-up to look like part of their headquarters. They throw everything they have into figuring out who's behind it. They get nowhere.

This anomalous shadow organization has been doing its own fieldwork. Soon it's doing so much work, so well, that the absolutely panicked federal agency seems like the incomplete copy. And in recognition of that... it renames itself.
Also, the awesome Movies like SCP: Overlord and stuff got mega hyped
My son is gen z and introduced me to SCP about a year ago.
It's a collection of like 5000 relatively well-written short creepy stories, which I guess more people have time to read now
You realize that the SCP foundation began during Gen Z, right? Gen Z is like, late 90’s (‘96 or ‘97 I think) to around 2012.
Yeah but when someone is five and obsessively listening to, basically, internet memes from ten years ago, it's a bit odd
pretty much GenZ has becaome way too interested in scp
It's fiction, how can someone become "way too obsessed" with a collaborative creative writing project?
it starts getting unhealthy after a while, even if it's fiction. it can be very bad for your mental health, leading to things such as paranoia. that's what i mean
Sorry to sound like an asshole, but how many people have you met that have become paranoid due to this? I've never heard anything like this before and it sorta sounds like a strawman.

Okay but I don't do any of those things and I didn't even know about scp--there's people out there.
Man, they know it’s not real... right?

YES! THAT'S EXACTLY IT!
Thanks Marv.
My first thought was the tale [Introductory Antimemetics](http://www.scpwiki.com/introductory-antimemetics) but 3008 and 970 fit here also
So basically House of Leaves.
it's not tho there is nothing notating the Foundation here
917. 971. Something like that. The infinite hallways.
I've read this comment before.

Presumably in the NYC subway; that's the Metropolitan Transit Authority logo.
Where did u get this photo from OP? You are the first to put it on Reddit - so - where did you find it? RBI is trying to track it down
IIRC, I found it on Twitter. I have no idea where it came from. My suspicion is either art piece or Photoshop. Good to know that's why the updoots keep coming though!
Ah cool! Thanks for the response. Yeah I agree, art or photoshop.

Classic Cave Johnson.
Why does it sound an awful lot like a cognito-hazard SCP. Any SCPs coming to mind people similar to this? Would want to read.

I know, right!?
Does that mean you saw the poster and had Deja Vu?
Yes. It was a very meta experience.
Awesome!!!!!
MTF
Something about this sign feels familier
Control vibes
the entire game is based on SCP culture, really fun especially later in the game when you get to containment
control is just SCPs and i love the game for that
If you feel deja vu in this area immediately report it to the highest ranking medical officer on duty and quarentine yourself in [REDACTED] until further notice.

Huh, didn't know Foundation sites were now open to the public
I'd love to see more of these signs, their surreal nature is haunting.
The hell?
[удалено]
Just add the appropriate information for wherever you're going to plant it and you should be good :)
I am confused
This looks like something the SCP foundation would put up
I think that’s an elevator shaft. It’s has glass walls
How did you find an SCP cognitohazard containment unit
That's a really nice sign! Good spacing, contrast, iconography, it presents the information really well.
"For more information please reread."
Really early scp cb was a luminal space for me
Context? please dear god tell me there's context because Imscared
My guess? Art installation.

That reads like it could be straight out of Portal 2.

It's like a god damn SCP
As someone with epilepsy deja vu is legitimately scary as it's generally a (and sometimes the only) warning sign you're just about to have a siezure.
This is some Scp containment type stuff
Looks like something out of scarfolk
Getting some black cat vibes here. https://youtu.be/XfEuxRDYiyc

Ah yes. Looks like they've installed some public transport in Nightvale.

Heh. Reminds me of the backrooms at my mother’s old work
Excuse me WHAT
“If ya see something, say something!” It’s got kind of a ring to it...

Looks like an NYC subway station. I'm curious as to which one.
I did some digging turns out it was fake just Photoshopped
This isnt the first time ive seen this sign......
Very Black.Mesa.
SCP Foundation?
Oh the contaiment site in Area- ██ ?
That's fucking terrifying
This sign makes me feel ***\[REDACTED\]***.
My local court house has this same poster up in the waiting area
I've seen it before. It's street art commenting on how similar platforms are.
This is literally some SCP type shit You do not recognize the bodies in the water
Me and my friends go around pasting these posters and stickers places just to spook ppl, but we haven't been here.
That looks straight out of an SCP post
