Still, in an interview with Empire, Peele gave us this explanation for Us: "This movie's about maybe the monster is you. It's about us, looking at ourselves as individuals and as a group.
It's suggested that the Tethered were created for labor so that the people living aboveground could live in comfort, although it's never really explained who created them or what happened to cause the experiment to fail.
