Brainrot refers to a category of hyper-stimulating, often surreal internet content primarily consumed by Gen Alpha on platforms like TikTok and YouTube Shorts. The term encompasses a fast-paced lexicon of slang including 'Skibidi', 'Rizz', 'Gyatt', and 'Fanum Tax', often presented through loud, nonsensical edits or repetitive animations. While the term was originally used pejoratively to describe the perceived decline in cognitive quality of social media feeds, it has been reclaimed as a subgenre of absurdist humor. Today, brainrot memes serve as a self-aware commentary on the addictive nature of short-form video consumption and the rapidly evolving landscape of youth internet culture.
