And now all we, the ones who decided not to try TikTok, became that insane guy, that as it turned out told us the truth

another scapegoat not mentioned for "Brainrot" is comic books. When pseudoscience and misinformation was being passed that comics where causing children to become violent criminals or just mind-addled nobodies because all you did was look at "dumb" comics. Video Games is also something that I had to deal with as my parents considered it to rot my brain. I still deal with it when my dad talks to me and he still things it's a waste of time, but he'll talk to me about all of his tv shows. Every generation has something that makes the other just shake their head and call it mind rotting.

Works of high literature, however, are the key to mental development. Reading comic books is not. And the time children spend playing video games might as well be called damaging for all the reading they're thus not able to do.

I do think there is a difference in modern generations compared to previous generations. Brain-rot is being produced at an accelerating rate, and it is becoming harder to find things that aren't brain rot; and harder to tell the difference between art and things just designed to grab your attention unless you know where to look. I think we should guide our kids to be able to identify brain-rot; so they can build a resistance to malicious content like Loot-boxes.

I feel like that the problem now is that these kinds of videos are too main stream. YTPs were a niche thing. There were few of them and it took the person making them a lot of time and effort to do such heavily edited videos. Doing these as a hacky way to get a quick buck wasn’t really a thing as well. Nowadays people have uncovered just how addictive these videos can be and started to gamefy the whole process. Fine tuning videos and finding the perfect formula for the most addictive video possible to then just rinse and repeat that same formula as many times as possible. I feel like it’s quite different from what novels/tv shows/old yt vids did. Those took a lot of time and effort even if the final product wasn’t that intellectually engaging. But we all could still appreciate the effort that was put into it and have a laugh at the stupid nonsense. Because at the end of the day, the authors were still trying to make something entertaining. Nowadays, they want to make something attention grabbing and addictive, not entertaining per say. Its quite different and this new kind of media is an actual problem imo

Yeah that’s why I honestly don’t care about the new stuff being so cringe or anything. “Little kids are singing Skibidi Toilet and saying Ohio Sigma Rizz in real life! They’ve been brainrotted!” Yeah, and we’ve had people enjoy popular stuff enough that they say it in real life. I’ve heard kids at school say Big Chungus or Ugandan Knuckles in real life and seen people do the Naruto run or Fortnite dances in real life.

I’ve only ever seen brainrot used when someone is too hyperfixated on something, often a self-deprecating joke. This change in use is new to me, but then again-I don’t have a TikTok. That’s what this KZread channel is for.

How the fuck is meme reviews nowadays the least biased content out there, I'm extremely glad I subscribed to you

Thank you so much for the argument for gen alpha. I'm younger gen-z, but it's completely stupid gen a gets all the blame and hate, considering that we have literally gone through similar stuff like the vine era, then musicaly, before those it was KZread with the random stuff, before that it was weird memes etc. etc. It is to be expected honestly, gen z are now entering the labour pool, or are in /going into higher education, this combined with the fact that the pandemic happened 4 years ago and all the tension regarding ai taking over jobs, plus general geopolitical tensions (several large scale wars/conflicts) makes it kind of understandable why people are concerned for their posterity, since companies are seemingly less human friendly than ever (Ai replacements, bad pay, longer hours what have you) and more controlling. I personally didn't think it would happen this fast, but the oldest of gen z are in their late 20's and some have children of their own at this point. But in conclusion, this is one of your best videos, hands down. But it really is hard, you keep upping yourself with every consecutive video. But thank you. This was a great watch. ❤

When I was a kid, I had an unhealthy tv addiction, watching endless reruns long after i stopped enjoying them. Then in my early teens it was youtube AMVs. It's not so much a generational thing as much as it's about growing up and gaining the wisdom and the awareness that your time is being wasted and there are endless more meaningful and edifying things you can do instead that are much more rewarding in the long run. I'm doing better now, though I won't download tiktok or instagram out of fear of going back. My days are full of learning and meaning and I occasionally still enjoy some dumb humor without letting it consume my whole day.

I hypothesise this is because self-reflective outlook is problematic for building a controllable and reliable workforce. If people are taught to question their behaviour it might have unintended consequences like workers realising they're being abused by their corporarte overlords. Remember, the addictive nature of social media is designed like that on purpose so tech companies can make as much much money out of a single user as possible.

While I agree that a lot of generations had their brainrot happen, like MLG edits, gmod brainrot, YTP, cat videos etc. Anyone would be lying if they were using the internet and said they never saw it, but the main issue is how commonplace it is nowadays, and frankly comparably it is still getting worse in terms of what kids are being exposed to

Agreed. It's significantly different imo to be a toddler in 2020 and just being handed an iPad for 2 straight years, even compared to a toddler in 2012 being handed an iPad for 2 straight years. Covid limited the amount of doing literally anything else so it's all a lot more concentrated

It's kind of ridiculous how people talk negatively so much about a series like Skibidi Toilet. I understand that everything popular is going to get hate, but why didn't the haters just hate on it in May-July when it was really popular and then leave? It seems like they want to spend a very long period of time hating on it. What a waste of time.

I'm not kidding, my close ones once told me they were worried about me, because I spent so much time reading books. They were Sidney Sheldon novels though so maybe they were just worried for my literature standards. No one cared when I binged anime on Netflix.

symptoms of the brainrot

Halfway through the video I think LiMC is absolutely right and it made me suddenly become self aware that I think I should close this video right now. sorry for not finishing the video I gotta go now. I have had enough dopamine today and now you mentioned it this does make me feel it’s saturated now.

I think it is worth mentioning just how fast slang is progressing these days. I am a month away from 21, and I literally had to have someone explain to me what "rizz" means. Now that may be partly due to my refusal to use most social media platforms such as TikTok, but I am basically no better off now than my 51 year old mother, who TEACHES this generation of kids. (Which, are NOT easy to teach. She had told me some real horror stories, and I have gone into her classes and seen it first hand). I don't think it is a stretch to say that even though this is a cycle old as time itself, it's accelerating rapidly.

I sincerely hope that there will always be an audience that enjoys long content too, because there's good media out there that provides value to the viewer that can take months or years to produce, such as nature documentaries, mathematic tutorials, audiobooks on classic literature, and the list goes on.

I think Brainrot has been around for ages. Its just that now that we have given a name for the phenomenon, the concept is more tangible than ever before. We also have to consider that a lot of us are making a shitload of ironic Brainrot posts.

I love your work and as always perfect description of the recent phenomena with comparisons with previously ones, like reading and watching TV in this video. I am very appreciative of how you show your sources and books, it gives a little more depth to your analysis and weight to your opinions. But I just can't agree that reading for pleasure can be comparable, since the former increases literacy and attention and the latter destroys your brain. I think the comparison is a little bit unfair, just for the sake of not judging new generations for the consumption of this type of content, as the older generations have judged us before. Nowadays, we are literally with screens on our faces consuming fast-paced content mathematically calculated to stimulate our brains in certain ways to consume more and more...

One thing about brain rot people don't want to admit is that it's very similar in a lot of ways to things we enjoyed as kids, we're just getting mad at it because we don't have the mind of a child anymore and you really can't just ask a kid because even they don't entirely know because they're kids.

This requires the viewer to watch informative content, which is not necessarily associated with "brainrot" content. But I myself (zoomer) have learned weird and unusual information through short form content, and have it come useful later on, you definitely have a point here. Whether content creators can fit a entire trigonometry course into short form video is a different question, which is why i think that the quality or in depth knowledge obtained through short form videos is limited

Honestly with the last couple of years I feel like I've been developing brainrot but it seems it's stopped for now.
