Fr. like I’m out here spending my day at school and then all of a sudden two classmates are spouting every single brainrot word in the brainrot dictionary over some of the *stupidest* shit
Apparently, the elementary and middle school students happen to have 5-and-under faces, and their conversational capacities are limited to children almost that young. Do they care about being judged by their proverbial covers?
Seriously. It's so scary to hear it and not know what any of it means. Me and my friends are 16-17 and are so confused as to what skippidy toilet and things like that are. It's so scary to also hear both of my partners younger sisters using the language too (8 and 12)

Kurt Cobain was so influential, even people that don't know Nirvana wear the logo, he created an entirely new genre and inspired so many people to create, equivalent to like david Bowie with glam rock or Ozzy Osborne/Black Sabbath with metal, and you're gonna say Taylor Swift is more influential?!?
That part hurt me personally. I was a kid and watched their performance on the MTV Music Awards when Krist threw his bass up and missed and it hit him on the head. I remember the MTV breaking news when he died. I’ve lived through the years and seen the bands so incredibly influenced by Nirvana then and even now. Swifties are so delusional.
In fact, I flat-out *miss* the times when the recording industry would allow artists to make grunge and post-grunge, and when mainstream radio would allow new grunge songs to be played. Those times are long in the past, and Swift is now competing mostly with trap rap and drill rap. What new ground has Swift broken?
My dad works at Hot Topic and he had a girl come to his store once and ask if they had Nirvana brand stuff.. he asked what she meant and she said “like the brand with the smile logo??” SHE DIDNT KNOW IT WAS A BAND.
Taylor Swift scares me dawg You ever see a video of her flights mapped?? Literally on one location, idk what it is, BUT THAT SPOT ON THE MAP, BECAME LIKE LEGIT COLORED IN BASICALLY, BRO JUST FLEW THERE SO MUCH.

Same. I love Goku, but why do people gotta put him against every character? How about people start asking who Goku would eat with or something. I know Saiyans love to fight, but it doesn’t always have to be about who can beat who in a fight (๑>◡

I cried at the end. I'm graduating highschool in the next few weeks, and my last day is Friday. I've been trying to figure out what I want to do, what life is going to be like when what I've worked so hard for has finally been achieved. I realized while listening to this that I don't *have* a goal for after everything. I have plans but nothing solid for them to help me achieve. You've inspired me Louis. I'm not going to just settle for plan b because plan a seems to ambitious. Fuck it. I'm going with plan a. I'm going to chase my dreams and I'm going to achieve them. Thank you so much for saying your piece, I needed it more than I would have ever thought I did.
The last few minutes of this video are so real, honestly. I'm one of those people who used to just scroll, sleep. Rinse and repeat. And I'll tell you it was depressing and monotonous. It felt like I was living in gray-scale and everything was moving so quickly while i was just... Stuck there. It took a minute to realize that I wasn't stuck, that I did have purpose. And once I realized that, it was technicolor again. I moved with the motions now and I got to feel and experience the things around me. I just wanted to say that if you feel stuck, you're not. Whatever hole you find yourself in, you will get out of it. Like Louis said, you should have something to look forward to inorder to *live*. Even if its the smallest thing in the world like picking flowers if petting your cat, at least your looking forward to it. Your looking *forward*. Not watching it pass by. You're living. Getting yourself out of whatever thing your in is hard, but I believe in you! You just have to believe in yourself too :)
@@alicetheangel-iplayroblox5184 i understand because me too 😭😭 I've only recently gotten myself out of that funk, and I know its hard to free yourself from it. It takes time and you can't expect your progress to be linear. Healing is a journey and it IS one you'll go on. You're a lot stronger than you think you are
0:34 jokes on you, I’m watching this in my villain lair on my 26 screens i have and sitting in my spin-y chair whilst I stroke my cat and twirl my evil moustache
I haven't been on TikTok for a while and I stopped creating content because I'm a full time student so my attention is need there mainly. I have noticed that my attention span has lengthened, I'm more focused on completing tasks without being distracted, and having the need to go on my phone. When I talk to my friends and they talk about what's happening on that platform, I have no clue and they joke that I live under a rock (don't worry I laugh too). But it has come to a point that I notice my friends, who pretty much spend a majority of their day on social media, they're kinda hard to reach or hard to keep them engaged in the conversation. Fortunately, they know it's a problem and they've been getting better at finding other activities to do.
ngl its rly comforting to hear that the effects of social media are reversible. ive been trying rly hard recently to get off of my phone and play guitar or make art instead and its nice to know that its worth it.
@@fruit_salad I’m happy you find comfort! I’ve been getting back into playing with my guitar and piano too, but finals are coming for me so I’m busting my butt studying 😭
IMO a part of brain rot is losing the ability to disconnect from technology/overstimulation and just staying in that heightened zone, not being able to shift back out. Mentally existing, or being mentally stimulated more in the virtual world than the physical.
One of the annoying facts is that a lot of this brainrot is sexual or sexualizing things, which is getting accessed by kids under 13. My brother says inappropriate things and idk if he knows they are inappropriate or notm its so disappointing
There's no such thing as "good art" and "bad art". As long as you're putting soul into it, all your art has value. You'll never get better if you're focused on making "good" art. Make bad art. Make a ton of bad art. You cannot get better if you don't allow yourself the ability to grow and make mistakes. Art is a very learn as you go hobby, so the more bad art you make, the better at art you will become. Do it because it makes you happy!! Stop trying to prove yourself to people who only want to see you fail.
bro the stuff abt the anime community is the realest thing i’ve ever heard- i’m a part of the community and omg the ppl in this fandom are actually insane💀💀
Agreed. I like having shared interests with others, because it can be fun to talk about, but some people take it too far and just ruin it for everyone else. People can't like things normally or let other people like things.
Firstly, congrats on getting 100k !! I think it's funny that I look a little silly because I use the phrase brain rot constantly, but I use it in more of a "I can't stop thinking about [specific interest/topic]" way. Me personally?? I have Louis McClung content brain rot.
Me too. I have adhd and autism so I use the term brain rot in that context as well. I say I have severe twisted wonderland brain rot (my current hyperfixation) but I use it in a joking tone it’s never serious.
@@sw3496 Exactly! I too have both adhd and autism and don't really use it in a serious way. Also!! I think it's really cool to see a twisted wonderland mention, I don't know too much about it but I've seen some things and think it looks really interesting.
yeah me too!! im autistic and i talk about giving my friend the "identity v brainrot" (bc i'm hyperfixated on both that and chonny jash) and its all i can think about to where i lose sleep sometimes (hence. hyperfixation) which is why i call it brainrot hfjdnffj :]
@@b0nzie Yeah! It’s been a hyperfixation for a while. It’s fun imo and I really like characters. I love analyzing them and the story is really good and it’s on going (in both the English and Japanese servers but the Japanese servers are ahead of English servers).
this whole shift on the term brainrot is so funny, if you think about it yeah i guess all funny wild digital content can also be used like that. youtube poop, YTPMVs, and oc meme channels are probably one of the best examples as precursors of the over usage of the phrase
I can relate to the feeling of feeling stuck, or just watching time pass by. Over the past few years I’ve felt like I’ve just been deteriorating, physically, mentally, and emotionally. Especially knowing that where I’m at right now, being who I want to be won’t be possible for a while- that only drives me more insane. Knowing that everyone around me doesn’t actually see me, or might not be accepting of it is absolutely crushing. Currently I think the only thing I’m fighting for is my future, hoping I will one day be able to transition openly and let other people see me for me, even if the wait will be long and hard. Even if the days are just slowly inching by, i always try to have something to live for- small pleasantries like spending time outdoors, or seeing friends just make the journey a bit more bearable.
I was feeling cynical energy in the first bit and the stuff you said at the end was really uplifting and I'm glad you included it. I'd love a video about something you really like :)
I stopped using Tiktok a few months ago, it changed my point of view at the world completely.. Anytime I see someone scrolling on tiktok i feel like I'm in some kind of dystopian movie about zombies its kinda scary. My ex gf used to come over from across the country just to literally scroll on tiktok for hours, it made me feel like i was a bad boyfriend, I thought I was boring or something, but I realized she did the same thing even when we were out on a date. When I asked her if she could get off the phone and spend some time with me she would get so angry at me, and when I told her that she's addicted she said she isn't and that actually I am the one trying to be the "snowflake" in the situation. I am really glad I am not the only one seeing what's happening, ngl I kinda felt like the joker
also i’m no saint it’s getting to me as well like in a form of ig reels and stuff like that, when I catch myself watching this crap I immediately shut my phone off because it makes me so embarrassed. I wish I could delete instagram as well but it’s not possible, too many important things are on there. If y’all have any tips how to minimise the amount of brainrot getting to me i’d appreciate it
I literally was gonna sob, I have been in a bad mental place lately and don’t know what to fight for so thank you for making me realize why I am not getting out of bed anymore. Thank you
It's going to be better. I'm sure you've heard it all before, I have too, but I promise. someday you're going to wake up everyday with a smile. You'll feel loved, you'll be appreciated. You have a place in this world, you just have to make it your own. I hope things get better for you, I hope it all works out. I may not know you, but there's people that do, and I'm sure they love you. It's going to get better, someday you'll wake up and hear birds chirping and you'll look outside and you'll feel so alive and complete. I promise it'll get better, and I'm rooting for you to make it there. I'm sure you can, you've already done so much I'm sure
I love the statement at the end. as depressing as this video kinda felt, the end felt hopeful. And we need hope to keep going, it helps us with those goals. Thanks for complimenting my drawing, I was sketching while listening to this video like it was a podcast. Also congrats on getting 101k subscribers! and to anyone reading this, I don't know who you are. we will likely never meet or see each other, us crossing paths here was by coincidence. But I hope you had a good day, and I hope that your dreams come true in some way. I hope things get better for you, I hope your favorite outfits get out of the dryer without getting damaged and you feel beautiful wearing them. I hope that whatever you do with your life makes you proud, and I hope you spread some love, because that's all that humanity is; we're just love. everything good about us is from love, everything bad is from a lack of it. and I hope that you can spread that love and be loved, because anyone good deserves that. also go to bed it's probably past your bedtime and getting enough sleep will help you feel better as your brain heals when you sleep, and lets be honest not everyone's doing great and maybe a bit more sleep will help you
I love these videos and the drawing compliments are like an extra reward at the end. But in the end he said something important without realizing it "-Maybe it's just me but surely there are more people out there like that." That statement of loneliness is really what allows this massive shift in language to happen. Goals are meaningless without any kind of praise or reaction to tell you it's done and you did good or you need to improve. A wise man once said that you're never done. You just run out of time. In a world were time has become rather meaningless, the goal has no end and if your very clear where the end date is and you find it and you're done... well, now it's more of a task or order with no one to talk to about it. There's no one to properly proof-read our life and work so even when you do something great, who cares? There's no where to properly share and get options other than the internet. Hell! Even you are doing it! Writing long scripts, sending them to the internet, second guessing and hoping for feed back. Praise, hate, like, dislike, subscribe, comment, just anything... anything to make the time spent worth it. (It was worth it. The video was amazing!) Humans are social and we go insane without it. This "brain rot" is just a living breathing example of what happens without anyone to bounce off of and learn from. The internet is not a babysitter. The internet is not a teacher. The internet is a video log of moments in peoples life. There is good. There is bad. And then there's the down right traumatizing. As a gen Z, growing up on and with the internet is like leaving your kid at prison. Some people are nice and will soften up since your clearly a dumb baby but others see it as a grand opportunity to introduce small kids to gore and corn. This is not a place for a kid. At best this is a place for a 16 year old or older. Even UA-cam kids. Everyone knows weird stuff happens there.
no cause i have friends that say shit like sigma or skibidi so often (ironically but i dont think its ironically anymore) and then make fun of gen alpha like what
Okay but why do ppl find skibidi toilet so funny? It genuinely fascinates me that it’s considered comedy gold to children (I love how he talks about the artists watching these while they draw lmaooo)
Louis you single handedly got me back into drawing by saying those little compliments at the end for the artists and I was like 'wait! I wanna be complimented!' so uh yeah just letting yk LOVE YOU POOKIEEE
I am in tears at your words towards the end, Louis. Thank you as always for sharing encouraging words. We do all need to have something to live and fight for. It's the worst without it!
This video is really great! Its a reminder that we dont have to just mindlessly consume media to pretend like we are doing something. Coming from someone who struggles to actually get stuff done and pretends they have when in fact they are just scrolling endlessly on youtube, the times where I do get things done, it feels good. I dont think people will ever really get that when you set your phone down and really experience the world around you, it genuinly makes you feel so much better about yourself. Now, I know some people are also in similarly bad situation where they feel like they have to constantly be on their phone because that world around them is so extremely stressful, whether that be home life, family, work, or other factors. It sucks that people feel like its their only option. I dont wish that on anyone and I hope that those who arent in those situations or get out of them do decide to get away from being sucked into social media, it really makes you feel better in every way. Social media is such a big cause for depression so hopefully we can push for decreased use, the younger gens shouldnt grow up suffering like this. Also, thank you so much for saying at the end everytime, the reminder to clean dishes and my room really helps motivate me and alot of others too I can imagine! It makes me feel like I really can do it.
it’s been so awesome to watch your channel grow-i remember when one of your videos popped up on my recommended page for the first time and i was shocked by the massive disparity between the high quality of your videos and the comparatively low subscriber count. congratulations on 100k, i can’t think of anyone more deserving!!! i’m looking forward to watching your channel grow even more!! :)
In the Hall of the Mountain King was the perfect music choice for your descent into madness. Thank you for the speech about deserving to fight for something. I feel like in this climate, it's easy to fall into despair, and monotony without a path forward. I still need to find what motivates me, and what I can look forward to, and you bring up a lot of good points. also, congrats on 100k! It's amazing that more people are finally finding your content.
16:18 About that, the only thing I have to really work for is my art. Storytelling, animation, and just general drawings. I want my art to really speak out to people, and tell them that they're not alone. I want everyone to know that they matter. I like to make my work about thing I, and lther people can relate too. Like childhood things, mental health, and just general relatable things we all go through. To anyone reading this (including you Louis, you're awesome) YOU mattter, there are people who love you. You're not alone
happy 100k!! been here since 40k im so happy your channel has grown so much since!!! you're so cool and i'm so glad your channel is spreading to more and more people :)
“and if you’re watching this then it’s probably on a phone.” no louis, my device is indeed a ipad generation 7 that loses charge when being charged. you are wrong. jk now i’m crying thank you louis you are truly inspirational + i thought i was gonna relapse again my brain is rotten but at least i know how to live again
This video basically sums up my WHOLE SCHOOL im so so tired of it, its like when i just wanna [redacted for safety] its irratating, ill admit, yes im on alot of devices but i still do things, i go outside, I draw, i paint i get out, its to the point where i wish i was born in a different generation.bc i still love vines, if im bored ill watch em they give me a good laugh unlike some of the humor now.
Honestly kids at school said brain rot *making fun* of the brain rot. Saying ‘*erm what the sigma*’ as a casual joke, poking fun at brain rot. ITS SO BAD NOW then we start saying it in regular vocabulary… it’s spreading like those 2020 wildfires 💀🙏
Thanks for that little speech at the end about feeling meaningless. It really helps. More than my parents because tbh i don't feel as if i can really tell them stuff. So yeah, thanks
I hate brain rot, also, about the anime, some girl put her monthly Mother Nature bodily fluids over a Satoru Gojo figure 18:06 this part made me genuinely happy. But it also made me realize how I fight everyday just to survive. To create things, to be happy, to enjoy myself. Even if I don’t show it.
i literally grew up listening to kurt cobain and taylor swift as a kid and i’d pick kurt over taylor ANY DAY he inspired so much when i was younger and still does to this day and not only me but millions. i grew up in seattle and you still see bands today trying to be like him and nirvana
When you said that jokes and memes used to last a month, they lasted for years in my time. I remember all the way back on tumblr when the Mishapocalypse happened.
6:12 gas stations have shut off buttons for this exact scenario, if this happens, alert the gas station attendant IMMEDIATELY. Don't just stand there hanging on to it and letting it get all over you and everything else.
im kind of writing this for me but ive been extremely suicidal and dissociated for the last 8 months. i put ur videos on in the background when i do homework and that ending really pulled me back into myself, even just for a bit. honestly it felt like a breath of fresh air to hear someone say all that. isolation and brainrot is a bitch. thanks louis ♡
i got into music because of courtney love (kurt's wife, though hey she is her own person and she does make her own music), i started playing guitar because of her. i started writing lyrics about some of the things thats happened to me, because she and kurt gave me the confidence to go "oh, yeah, i guess music IS a safe thing for me." music can be such an outlet for people. music isn't supposed to just be all dancey, music should have emotion. music should be raw and unfiltered. music should be messy and fucked up. when i first started listening to hole, i was awestruck. because how could somebody else go through so many of the things i have gone through and still have enough confidence to put herself out there? i started a band earlier this year with my boyfriend and best friend. the first song we're covering is violet by hole
every time I see a video of hazbin hotel, and it's either an edit, fanart, or a cosplayer, I go to the comments and scroll through, and there'd be like 5 or six "brainrot" comments just bc someone is making/doing/ or drawing something they like 💀
Taylors music isnt influential but her as a person?? Yes. Waaaay more influential than KC. She influenced ppl to register to vote, come on its crazy how much influence she has over young girls
sure taylor is extremely popular, but the fact that people still listen to nirvana’s music decades after kurt’s passing just tells you how influential he is. he wasn’t just an artist, he influenced the way people dressed, popularised and pioneered a whole new genre, and inspired people to create music of their own (a lot of other grunge bands were inspired by him). i’m not dissing taylor, and there isn’t anything wrong with enjoying her music, however popularity and influence are different things
That last monolog made me almost cry. (Good way) Fight for something. Even if that something is eating a nutritious breakfast. Plate it nice, have 2 courses, 1 of protein and one of fruit. Sit outside and enjoy the morning while you eat. Little things. Because you CAN and so you SHOULD. (Ive been fighting to regain my health. That is my goal. Ive been very sick for a long while but have been fighting my way back to health. My meals are my battle grounds and i refuse to not try. Humans need goals. Need something to fight against, not in a violent way, but in a way that, when finished, either results in victory and/or a lesson. Dont let brain rot win. Fight for self improvement, even if it starts with just having a good meal
I never realized that we NEED something to work for, to fight for, etc. I took a gap year, i graduated in 2023, worked at an elementary school for the next school year, and this fall i will be going to college! But I felt so LOST being out of school! I had no marching band, which means I didn't have the goal of improving my color guard skills, and having a better show each time we performed. I still had winter percussion, which DEFINITELY helped me, but then I had nothing again! Putting what you said in perspective of my life is so interesting, because its never something I even thought about! I thought I was just bored. Loved this video so much 💚
Thank you SO MUCH for explaining this. I think people have been calling the most random things brainrot lately. Anyways, Congrats on 100K!! Youre awesome!!

And once I realized that, it was technicolor again. I moved with the motions now and I got to feel and experience the things around me. I just wanted to say that if you feel stuck, you're not. Whatever hole you find yourself in, you will get out of it.
Like Louis said, you should have something to look forward to inorder to *live*. Even if its the smallest thing in the world like picking flowers if petting your cat, at least your looking forward to it. Your looking *forward*. Not watching it pass by. You're living.
Getting yourself out of whatever thing your in is hard, but I believe in you! You just have to believe in yourself too :)

i'm looking forward to being with spencer reid 🤞🤞jkjk this is a very sweet message and im happy for you 🤍
Nah man I've been in this loop for my childhood, idk how to get out of it when it has became a part of me-
@@alicetheangel-iplayroblox5184 i understand because me too 😭😭 I've only recently gotten myself out of that funk, and I know its hard to free yourself from it. It takes time and you can't expect your progress to be linear. Healing is a journey and it IS one you'll go on. You're a lot stronger than you think you are
@@soapie725 Thank you!! You're so kind :D
Any time I see the word ‘brain rot’ I immediately think skibi toilet. 🙃
Real
I literally despise skibdi toilet. This is the only brainrot I don't need to know.
what about the stuff WE used to watch 😭😭🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@berlabelle5999 That alien frog dancing?
@@puffystrawberrycow omg yes and those else spider-man granny videos
0:34 jokes on you, I’m watching this in my villain lair on my 26 screens i have and sitting in my spin-y chair whilst I stroke my cat and twirl my evil moustache
I haven't been on TikTok for a while and I stopped creating content because I'm a full time student so my attention is need there mainly. I have noticed that my attention span has lengthened, I'm more focused on completing tasks without being distracted, and having the need to go on my phone.
When I talk to my friends and they talk about what's happening on that platform, I have no clue and they joke that I live under a rock (don't worry I laugh too).
But it has come to a point that I notice my friends, who pretty much spend a majority of their day on social media, they're kinda hard to reach or hard to keep them engaged in the conversation.
Fortunately, they know it's a problem and they've been getting better at finding other activities to do.
ngl its rly comforting to hear that the effects of social media are reversible. ive been trying rly hard recently to get off of my phone and play guitar or make art instead and its nice to know that its worth it.
@@fruit_salad I’m happy you find comfort! I’ve been getting back into playing with my guitar and piano too, but finals are coming for me so I’m busting my butt studying 😭
@@Minnie.Doodlez ooh yeah ive got a few weeks till finals, good luck on yours!!
I'm not sure if you're doing finals still but I hope you do well
@@coolioman9073 Oh I finished them on the 24th, I got all A's :D
Comedy is is turning into fast fashion, just destorying our brains rather than the earth
IMO a part of brain rot is losing the ability to disconnect from technology/overstimulation and just staying in that heightened zone, not being able to shift back out. Mentally existing, or being mentally stimulated more in the virtual world than the physical.
One of the annoying facts is that a lot of this brainrot is sexual or sexualizing things, which is getting accessed by kids under 13. My brother says inappropriate things and idk if he knows they are inappropriate or notm its so disappointing
GOOD JOB ON 100k!!Believe it or not i was dying for you to get to it and im very happy for you since you deserve it!
Louis saying my drawing is good but I have been bullied out of doing art since over a year and they won't stop coming for me.
i bet your art is truly good!! louis ain’t lying ;)
@@abi_nguyen OK true and based, can't accuse the lord of lying
There's no such thing as "good art" and "bad art". As long as you're putting soul into it, all your art has value. You'll never get better if you're focused on making "good" art. Make bad art. Make a ton of bad art. You cannot get better if you don't allow yourself the ability to grow and make mistakes. Art is a very learn as you go hobby, so the more bad art you make, the better at art you will become. Do it because it makes you happy!! Stop trying to prove yourself to people who only want to see you fail.
As a brainrotmaxxer, I can say that I wish that I could stop, it’s like a drug addiction, we gotta get brainrot rehab centers
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH FOR DEFENDING KURT COBAIN I ACTUALLY GOT SO PISSED OFF AT THAT CLIP HOLY SHIT
I was so damn close to just chucking my phone when I heard that shit
5:05 never thought there would be a day where I would see Louis waddling but I ain’t complaining
Yeah I was honestly just laughing and my mom was like “Are you alright..?”
The only rot in my brain is me hyperfixating on whatever it is this time
at this moment (5/13/24) it is silly pink blood murder game (sadly)
haha same
real
Junko was actually trying to give people brain rot, that's what she meant by despair, that's why every one of the killers is an idiot
I have 2012 tmnt, specifically a side villain who was written so horribly that I scooped him up like a wet cat
HI ASHE
everyone who says goku would solo sailor moon has CLEARLY never thought about the two are best friends and go to the mall every friday
Would honestly love to see that crossover episode.
bro the stuff abt the anime community is the realest thing i’ve ever heard- i’m a part of the community and omg the ppl in this fandom are actually insane💀💀
Agreed. I like having shared interests with others, because it can be fun to talk about, but some people take it too far and just ruin it for everyone else. People can't like things normally or let other people like things.
the speeches at the end were genuinely beautiful, and something that i’m sure a lot of us (including myself) needed to hear. thank you louis ❤️
I'm happy to help!
Firstly, congrats on getting 100k !!
I think it's funny that I look a little silly because I use the phrase brain rot constantly, but I use it in more of a "I can't stop thinking about [specific interest/topic]" way.
Me personally?? I have Louis McClung content brain rot.
Me too. I have adhd and autism so I use the term brain rot in that context as well. I say I have severe twisted wonderland brain rot (my current hyperfixation) but I use it in a joking tone it’s never serious.
@@sw3496 Exactly! I too have both adhd and autism and don't really use it in a serious way. Also!! I think it's really cool to see a twisted wonderland mention, I don't know too much about it but I've seen some things and think it looks really interesting.
yeah me too!! im autistic and i talk about giving my friend the "identity v brainrot" (bc i'm hyperfixated on both that and chonny jash) and its all i can think about to where i lose sleep sometimes (hence. hyperfixation) which is why i call it brainrot hfjdnffj :]
@@b0nzie Yeah! It’s been a hyperfixation for a while. It’s fun imo and I really like characters. I love analyzing them and the story is really good and it’s on going (in both the English and Japanese servers but the Japanese servers are ahead of English servers).
@@laceadornedvampire Yeah I lose sleep over my hyperfixations too which means I use brain rot in that sense too.
this whole shift on the term brainrot is so funny, if you think about it yeah i guess all funny wild digital content can also be used like that. youtube poop, YTPMVs, and oc meme channels are probably one of the best examples as precursors of the over usage of the phrase
I can relate to the feeling of feeling stuck, or just watching time pass by. Over the past few years I’ve felt like I’ve just been deteriorating, physically, mentally, and emotionally. Especially knowing that where I’m at right now, being who I want to be won’t be possible for a while- that only drives me more insane. Knowing that everyone around me doesn’t actually see me, or might not be accepting of it is absolutely crushing. Currently I think the only thing I’m fighting for is my future, hoping I will one day be able to transition openly and let other people see me for me, even if the wait will be long and hard. Even if the days are just slowly inching by, i always try to have something to live for- small pleasantries like spending time outdoors, or seeing friends just make the journey a bit more bearable.

the clip of people saying taylor is so much more influential is inSANE TO MEEE
KURT COBAIN CHANGED MUSIC FOREVER
Kurt LITERALLY CHANGED HOW PEOPLE THINK ABOUT MUSIC FOREVER AHHHHH
LMAO THE CHILD WADDLE IS THE FUNNIEST THING IVE EVER SEEN
I was feeling cynical energy in the first bit and the stuff you said at the end was really uplifting and I'm glad you included it. I'd love a video about something you really like :)
I stopped using Tiktok a few months ago, it changed my point of view at the world completely.. Anytime I see someone scrolling on tiktok i feel like I'm in some kind of dystopian movie about zombies its kinda scary. My ex gf used to come over from across the country just to literally scroll on tiktok for hours, it made me feel like i was a bad boyfriend, I thought I was boring or something, but I realized she did the same thing even when we were out on a date. When I asked her if she could get off the phone and spend some time with me she would get so angry at me, and when I told her that she's addicted she said she isn't and that actually I am the one trying to be the "snowflake" in the situation. I am really glad I am not the only one seeing what's happening, ngl I kinda felt like the joker
also i’m no saint it’s getting to me as well like in a form of ig reels and stuff like that, when I catch myself watching this crap I immediately shut my phone off because it makes me so embarrassed. I wish I could delete instagram as well but it’s not possible, too many important things are on there. If y’all have any tips how to minimise the amount of brainrot getting to me i’d appreciate it
I literally was gonna sob, I have been in a bad mental place lately and don’t know what to fight for so thank you for making me realize why I am not getting out of bed anymore. Thank you
It's going to be better. I'm sure you've heard it all before, I have too, but I promise. someday you're going to wake up everyday with a smile. You'll feel loved, you'll be appreciated. You have a place in this world, you just have to make it your own. I hope things get better for you, I hope it all works out. I may not know you, but there's people that do, and I'm sure they love you. It's going to get better, someday you'll wake up and hear birds chirping and you'll look outside and you'll feel so alive and complete. I promise it'll get better, and I'm rooting for you to make it there. I'm sure you can, you've already done so much I'm sure
I love the statement at the end. as depressing as this video kinda felt, the end felt hopeful. And we need hope to keep going, it helps us with those goals. Thanks for complimenting my drawing, I was sketching while listening to this video like it was a podcast. Also congrats on getting 101k subscribers!
and to anyone reading this, I don't know who you are. we will likely never meet or see each other, us crossing paths here was by coincidence. But I hope you had a good day, and I hope that your dreams come true in some way. I hope things get better for you, I hope your favorite outfits get out of the dryer without getting damaged and you feel beautiful wearing them. I hope that whatever you do with your life makes you proud, and I hope you spread some love, because that's all that humanity is; we're just love. everything good about us is from love, everything bad is from a lack of it. and I hope that you can spread that love and be loved, because anyone good deserves that. also go to bed it's probably past your bedtime and getting enough sleep will help you feel better as your brain heals when you sleep, and lets be honest not everyone's doing great and maybe a bit more sleep will help you
❤️❤️❤️
I love these videos and the drawing compliments are like an extra reward at the end.
But in the end he said something important without realizing it "-Maybe it's just me but surely there are more people out there like that." That statement of loneliness is really what allows this massive shift in language to happen. Goals are meaningless without any kind of praise or reaction to tell you it's done and you did good or you need to improve. A wise man once said that you're never done. You just run out of time. In a world were time has become rather meaningless, the goal has no end and if your very clear where the end date is and you find it and you're done... well, now it's more of a task or order with no one to talk to about it. There's no one to properly proof-read our life and work so even when you do something great, who cares? There's no where to properly share and get options other than the internet. Hell! Even you are doing it! Writing long scripts, sending them to the internet, second guessing and hoping for feed back. Praise, hate, like, dislike, subscribe, comment, just anything... anything to make the time spent worth it. (It was worth it. The video was amazing!) Humans are social and we go insane without it. This "brain rot" is just a living breathing example of what happens without anyone to bounce off of and learn from. The internet is not a babysitter. The internet is not a teacher. The internet is a video log of moments in peoples life. There is good. There is bad. And then there's the down right traumatizing. As a gen Z, growing up on and with the internet is like leaving your kid at prison. Some people are nice and will soften up since your clearly a dumb baby but others see it as a grand opportunity to introduce small kids to gore and corn. This is not a place for a kid. At best this is a place for a 16 year old or older. Even UA-cam kids. Everyone knows weird stuff happens there.
no cause i have friends that say shit like sigma or skibidi so often (ironically but i dont think its ironically anymore) and then make fun of gen alpha like what
For real.
People making fun of the kids doing it- but who do you think TAUGHT THEM that. /gen
Okay but why do ppl find skibidi toilet so funny? It genuinely fascinates me that it’s considered comedy gold to children
(I love how he talks about the artists watching these while they draw lmaooo)
its kind of just funny bc everyone else finds it funny and thats so ridiculous the concept of skibidi toilet is funny
To kids it’s probably just potty humor
Idk about anyone older than 10 though
Just an increasingly ridiculous joke rapidly escalating.
The weird trends around it genuinely freak me out.
One time during a Christmas party my grandma started saying "gyatt" 😭. I guess brainrot does get to everybody with a phone
Louis you single handedly got me back into drawing by saying those little compliments at the end for the artists and I was like 'wait! I wanna be complimented!' so uh yeah just letting yk LOVE YOU POOKIEEE
I am in tears at your words towards the end, Louis. Thank you as always for sharing encouraging words. We do all need to have something to live and fight for. It's the worst without it!
100K!!! CONGRATULATIONS LOUIS!!! I've been supporting you since 10k, its so cool to see you at this massive achievement!
This video is really great! Its a reminder that we dont have to just mindlessly consume media to pretend like we are doing something. Coming from someone who struggles to actually get stuff done and pretends they have when in fact they are just scrolling endlessly on youtube, the times where I do get things done, it feels good. I dont think people will ever really get that when you set your phone down and really experience the world around you, it genuinly makes you feel so much better about yourself. Now, I know some people are also in similarly bad situation where they feel like they have to constantly be on their phone because that world around them is so extremely stressful, whether that be home life, family, work, or other factors. It sucks that people feel like its their only option. I dont wish that on anyone and I hope that those who arent in those situations or get out of them do decide to get away from being sucked into social media, it really makes you feel better in every way. Social media is such a big cause for depression so hopefully we can push for decreased use, the younger gens shouldnt grow up suffering like this.
Also, thank you so much for saying at the end everytime, the reminder to clean dishes and my room really helps motivate me and alot of others too I can imagine! It makes me feel like I really can do it.
it’s been so awesome to watch your channel grow-i remember when one of your videos popped up on my recommended page for the first time and i was shocked by the massive disparity between the high quality of your videos and the comparatively low subscriber count. congratulations on 100k, i can’t think of anyone more deserving!!! i’m looking forward to watching your channel grow even more!! :)
"BEHOLD THE SKIBUSSY" caught me off guard 💀
I love your videos - nice to see you grow! You deserve it!
In the Hall of the Mountain King was the perfect music choice for your descent into madness. Thank you for the speech about deserving to fight for something. I feel like in this climate, it's easy to fall into despair, and monotony without a path forward. I still need to find what motivates me, and what I can look forward to, and you bring up a lot of good points.
also, congrats on 100k! It's amazing that more people are finally finding your content.

I LOVE THE JJK OPENING JAPQYWJWEJS9
16:18 About that, the only thing I have to really work for is my art. Storytelling, animation, and just general drawings. I want my art to really speak out to people, and tell them that they're not alone. I want everyone to know that they matter. I like to make my work about thing I, and lther people can relate too. Like childhood things, mental health, and just general relatable things we all go through. To anyone reading this (including you Louis, you're awesome) YOU mattter, there are people who love you. You're not alone
happy 100k!! been here since 40k im so happy your channel has grown so much since!!! you're so cool and i'm so glad your channel is spreading to more and more people :)
wow. the speech about fighting for something really hit me hard. i’m struggling so much right now, damn i needed that.
“and if you’re watching this then it’s probably on a phone.”
no louis, my device is indeed a ipad generation 7 that loses charge when being charged. you are wrong.
jk now i’m crying thank you louis you are truly inspirational + i thought i was gonna relapse again my brain is rotten but at least i know how to live again
Was not expecting that heartfelt speech at the end. That was so bussin
NOT THE KENJAKU REFERENCE 😭
(congrats on 100k, love your videos dude)
"nice drawing" THANK YOU
Congrats on 100K dude!! Enjoy that plaque, you deserve it :)
This video basically sums up my WHOLE SCHOOL im so so tired of it, its like when i just wanna [redacted for safety] its irratating, ill admit, yes im on alot of devices but i still do things, i go outside, I draw, i paint i get out, its to the point where i wish i was born in a different generation.bc i still love vines, if im bored ill watch em they give me a good laugh unlike some of the humor now.
I'm shocked this video showed up on my feed and it was only posted 36 seconds ago
Honestly kids at school said brain rot *making fun* of the brain rot. Saying ‘*erm what the sigma*’ as a casual joke, poking fun at brain rot.
ITS SO BAD NOW then we start saying it in regular vocabulary… it’s spreading like those 2020 wildfires 💀🙏
You reminded me of the cup I said i was gonna get out
Thanks for that little speech at the end about feeling meaningless. It really helps. More than my parents because tbh i don't feel as if i can really tell them stuff. So yeah, thanks
YOU REACHED 100K, WOOOOOOOOOO🎉
I hate brain rot, also, about the anime, some girl put her monthly Mother Nature bodily fluids over a Satoru Gojo figure 18:06 this part made me genuinely happy. But it also made me realize how I fight everyday just to survive. To create things, to be happy, to enjoy myself. Even if I don’t show it.
DUDE CONGRATS ON 100K!!! BRAINROTTING TO 200K??
I feel like I just started watching Louis and he had like 10k subs and now here we are, Louis has 100k subs. Absolutely beyond deserved
i literally grew up listening to kurt cobain and taylor swift as a kid and i’d pick kurt over taylor ANY DAY he inspired so much when i was younger and still does to this day and not only me but millions. i grew up in seattle and you still see bands today trying to be like him and nirvana
I’ve already lost my mind so I guess I don’t gotta worry about the brain rot
1:25 im with you louis i dont understand any slang at all especially the gen alpha one😭
When you said that jokes and memes used to last a month, they lasted for years in my time. I remember all the way back on tumblr when the Mishapocalypse happened.
personally I think the internet should explode and we should all learn how to live without it like cavemen
You'll love anarcho primitivism
i am a swiftie, but imo kurt is 100% more influential
Congrats on 100k! Also day five or six of asking where you shop??
maddox is actually such a good satire account he amazes me. some people dont play their character well but by god he does. he deserves a grammy
6:12 gas stations have shut off buttons for this exact scenario, if this happens, alert the gas station attendant IMMEDIATELY. Don't just stand there hanging on to it and letting it get all over you and everything else.
my thing to look forward to is new content, that’s why i’m always scrolling. and i’m sick of it, but i don’t know what else to do
influential is nirvana/queen/micheal jackson not drake/taylor swift
im kind of writing this for me but ive been extremely suicidal and dissociated for the last 8 months. i put ur videos on in the background when i do homework and that ending really pulled me back into myself, even just for a bit. honestly it felt like a breath of fresh air to hear someone say all that. isolation and brainrot is a bitch. thanks louis ♡
YOU GYATT 100K 😍😍
i got into music because of courtney love (kurt's wife, though hey she is her own person and she does make her own music), i started playing guitar because of her. i started writing lyrics about some of the things thats happened to me, because she and kurt gave me the confidence to go "oh, yeah, i guess music IS a safe thing for me."
music can be such an outlet for people. music isn't supposed to just be all dancey, music should have emotion. music should be raw and unfiltered. music should be messy and fucked up. when i first started listening to hole, i was awestruck. because how could somebody else go through so many of the things i have gone through and still have enough confidence to put herself out there? i started a band earlier this year with my boyfriend and best friend. the first song we're covering is violet by hole
Not me getting this notification while accidentally scrolling through youtube shorts 😕
Congratulations on hitting 100K!!! 🎉🎉 🇵🇸🇵🇸
0:14 WHAT IS THIS RIFF FROM
Mr Bellding was the principal from Saved By The Bell
every time I see a video of hazbin hotel, and it's either an edit, fanart, or a cosplayer, I go to the comments and scroll through, and there'd be like 5 or six "brainrot" comments just bc someone is making/doing/ or drawing something they like 💀
That end was the hardest line ever dropped, it brought tears to my eyes. I am crying.
Taylors music isnt influential but her as a person?? Yes. Waaaay more influential than KC. She influenced ppl to register to vote, come on its crazy how much influence she has over young girls
sure taylor is extremely popular, but the fact that people still listen to nirvana’s music decades after kurt’s passing just tells you how influential he is. he wasn’t just an artist, he influenced the way people dressed, popularised and pioneered a whole new genre, and inspired people to create music of their own (a lot of other grunge bands were inspired by him). i’m not dissing taylor, and there isn’t anything wrong with enjoying her music, however popularity and influence are different things
let’s be real gen z is most likely going to be the only cultured generation bc we have watched jojo and enjoy legend of zelda not skibidi toilet
Those are just as cringey
@@haybale287 hmm ok whatever you say queen..
That last monolog made me almost cry. (Good way)
Fight for something.
Even if that something is eating a nutritious breakfast.
Plate it nice, have 2 courses, 1 of protein and one of fruit.
Sit outside and enjoy the morning while you eat.
Little things.
Because you CAN and so you SHOULD.
(Ive been fighting to regain my health. That is my goal. Ive been very sick for a long while but have been fighting my way back to health. My meals are my battle grounds and i refuse to not try.
Humans need goals. Need something to fight against, not in a violent way, but in a way that, when finished, either results in victory and/or a lesson.
Dont let brain rot win.
Fight for self improvement, even if it starts with just having a good meal
It feels unhealthy to be this early-
100K! You deserve it man
Skibidi Ohio Gyatt
I never realized that we NEED something to work for, to fight for, etc. I took a gap year, i graduated in 2023, worked at an elementary school for the next school year, and this fall i will be going to college! But I felt so LOST being out of school! I had no marching band, which means I didn't have the goal of improving my color guard skills, and having a better show each time we performed. I still had winter percussion, which DEFINITELY helped me, but then I had nothing again! Putting what you said in perspective of my life is so interesting, because its never something I even thought about! I thought I was just bored. Loved this video so much 💚
Suspiciously early (9s ago)
suspiciously early ( a min ago )
Thank you SO MUCH for explaining this. I think people have been calling the most random things brainrot lately. Anyways, Congrats on 100K!! Youre awesome!!
