Brain rot
What it means
A joking way to describe getting too deep into endless short videos, loud memes, and absurd online humor—like your attention span or “taste” got fried from too much scrolling. Often self-aware, not a medical term.
“I watched that edit loop for an hour—pure brain rot.”
Where you might hear it
Very common among kids and teens on short-form video apps; often paired with silly sounds and “sigma / skibidi” meme culture.
