Brainrot
At Peak🎒High SchoolDefinition
The state of having consumed so much low-quality internet content that your brain has metaphorically rotted. Also used to describe the content itself. A badge of honor for some, a genuine concern for others.
Translation for Parents
When your kid says they have 'brainrot,' they mean they've been watching too much silly internet content and their sense of humor has devolved. If they start saying things that make zero sense to you, they've got it. This entire website exists because of it.
Examples
“I have such bad brainrot rn”
“I've been watching too much dumb internet content and my brain feels mushy”
“That's peak brainrot content”
“That video is the epitome of low-quality, absurdist internet humor”
Cringe Score
Mildly embarrassing
Diagnosing yourself with brainrot is a power move. Tell your kid their TikTok is giving you brainrot. They'll respect the correct usage even as they cringe.
