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.
i mean say what u want but comic books and video games as bad as they were, were certainly not this level of messed up, kids nowadays literally walking dopamine dispensers.
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. Sure, being well-developed isn't exactly the norm, but if we are to move anywhere we will have to set higher standards.
Hey, been there, just show dad that you control the time you play, and that you're having fun from it and not going around it - I used to think about getting back home and playing till nighttime, don't. Then you're good 👍
@@ruinhem Depends on the comics and the games, good ones can be just as useful for mental development.
Difference is social media was proven to harm young brains, while books/comics don't cause harm

To this day, Gen Z & Gen Alpha still got the remnants of classic YTPs, but it's more exaggerated, lazy and versatile to my opinion.
Well YTP originated in gen z
I WONDER WHAT'S FOR DINNER.
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

Do you get my explanation?
As someone who wants to go down the career path that is psychology, it quite terrifying to see others going down the same path to wind up in a job where they are tasked with creating these algorithms to host such brain rot
As if we are the villains of our own stories
I remember when I had to do psychology along side business, I was able to apply stuff I learnt from psychology very well when we had to do things like marketing and strategies at targeting products to customers what I still use to this day in my job
Half the stuff I got told was that many of the legal loopholes people used and still use, as well as tactics businesses used to target people, one of them was how addictive gambling was, and I remember I quote my teacher used “what you learn here isn’t illegal, just not moral.”

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.

More importantly, it used to be far more natural or "human" compared to now when so much stuff is AI generated and pushed by algorithms.

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 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.

gen alpha kids trying to form 1 sentence that actually makes sense
Nah, Today brainrot is way more common, and that is the issue.
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.
Agreed. People say that every generation thinks the younger one is stupid but holy shit I'm 31 and I think most people my age are stupid. The younger people basically retarded.
THANK GOD. Someone actually knows why previous media is completely different from the current usage of brainrot.
The other thing is that we are at a point where a lot of grown ass adults understand how memes work and is able to lay witness to the abysmal memes gen alpha is vomiting out into the world
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 hope everyone who struggles with addiction now will find the strength to break free of the dopamine cycle and find something that gives them true fulfullment as well
dumb humor is godly.
just gotta be used correctly, series like TAWoG are "dumb funny" and that's perfectly fine but when used incorrectly then we got things like gmod trash animations
@@ElPeloXD I'm not making a value judgement of dumb humor, I don't think humor from when I was a teen is somehow superior to what kids enjoy now, nor is there any "moral failure" in enjoying the "wrong" kind of dumb humor. It's when you consume it more out of impulse than out of genuine enjoyment that it wears you down and wastes your life away. Every generation was guilty of being hooked on something, but we can all find our way out if we look for it. The kids will figure it out, given time.
I sometimes get caught in the "doom scrolling" too, youtube/instagram/tiktok shorts are comfy but really dangerous in the fact that they're specifically designed to be consumed non stop and even more difficult to take a break or do something else. Everytime i find myself caught on these shorts and having an anxiety dose i just boot up a game in Steam, read or watch something, or start chatting with my friends on Discord. It usually helps to calm me down
The ability to self-reflect on your behavior and question it, is a valuable skill that should be taught to kids in school. 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.
@@ElPeloXD YTP and GMODs are the most striking example of any type of content, in my opinion. From the outside it looks like crap, and in the vast majority of cases it is, but in all of this there are always diamonds born. With great love I remember the best things that these things gave us.
It felt like unlocking a new memory at 5:48. I feel like everyone was on standby when watching this stuff as a kid lmao...

Those videos used to be good. People think this is as bad as the gen alpha brain rot but those Minecraft videos we used to watch were much better and funnier than these newer videos.
@@mamunrashid6404skibidi toilet is a horrifying head of a man in a toilet. No amount of "lore" makes this good.
And tbh i have never seen anyone talk about the "lore" or the story behind it. It's mostly just brain rots. Are you telling me that 5 year olds actually like this because of a deep and complex lore?
2:46 - There is one significant difference, though - when you read books, you can actually learn something useful. When you watch Tik Tok videos, you learn nothing at all, it's just stimulation for its own sake.
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.
I was 12 when tiktok came out. It was brainrot to me then and is now.
Yeah like I unironically enjoyed Fred, the Annoying Orange, and Crazy Frog as a kid. Stuff like Skibidi Toilet is no worse than any of that
I agree bro, they even copied the gmod videos 😂. For us it was weird tf2 gmod videos like pootis engage and now for them it is half life characters in gmod.
No the problem is how much time kids spend on it now. I wasn't on my phone or the internet all day as a kid lol.
I am 37 and i genunely think that skibidi toilet series has way more quality that the most stupid gmod videos from 2008-2015 era. I dont see the difference between TF2 freaks, seeman, painis cupcake, and skibidi.
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
The advent of AI makes brainrot x10 easier to churn out
Yeah, I agree with this too. It isn't just about the content and how it's presented, it's also about the accessibility and audience reach.
true
Cat videos are below the belt man, but yeah I agree.

It's kind of ridiculous how people talk negatively so much about a series like Skibidi Toilet.

What worries me the most about tiktok and shorts is that it genuinely hacks your brain to the point where a lot of people really struggle to get off the platform and live their lives, and kids growing up with that are going to end uo with unbelievably low attention spans which can genuinely become a developmental problem for them. I've seen people scrolling tiktok while driving their cars. Shits getting wild.
This is true. My friend has a severe addiction to TikTok and would often start scrolling it while we were supposed to be chatting and gaming together, and he'd spend hours on it throughout the day in full. He literally could never manage to sit still and watch longform content afterwards while also making random ass references.
He's only 2 years younger than me too. I fear for the childrem who are growing up with this stuff being a normal part of their lives, especially if it's so prevalent during their developmental years.
AND lets not forget... how the advertisements on television are just like today's brainrot... if not worse
This makes me yearn for the days of when ricegum and Logan Paul vlogs were considered brainrot due to the constant noises and sht
Personally, I prefer being 7 again just bing watching Cartoon Network while waiting for the first season of Adventure Time to drop.
I love how a lotta people are saying that our kids are lost, yet, we kinda grew up with MLG edits, Markiplier E and shitposting. We are, de facto, either all lost or all kinda fine.
False

Love how in-depth you got with this video. Would be cool to see more of that from you
In depth? Have you ever read even half of a chapter of a book? lmao
Its a bot
I feel like I'm several generations early when I try to understand this dystopian form of content.
people also called cartoons that in the 80s
@@Intellectual-stupidityYeah, as if in the 80s u could watch cartoons anywhere, anytime, when you're for example walking in the streets.
That is such a lazy comparison.
@Kilometer-nz5yj not even close. Cartoons are not smartphones lmao wtf
@@thatoneguychad420 yeah but they still called the cartoons similar things to brain rot

This video legit made me cry
4:08 Then something just snapped, something inside of me. I didn't care anymore. I didn't care about being better than Kakarot, I didn't care
oh my god you are literally brain rot yourself istg
"im to old for this shit"

nice pfp
This is their MLG memes and rage comics. They’ll grow out of it. I hope.
I can feel the brain cells disappearing
It's literally natural.
What is true is you can have 1,000,000 brain cells die every year. People saying that "their braincells are dissappearing" are undergoing what is called "the placebo effect."
"The placebo effect" is a medical term when via drug testing, two people are handed a drug in testing. One is real, and the other is fake, as a fake drug that does nothing is called a placebo (as said). Both the two patients AND the testing scientists *do not* know what one of the 2 individual drugs given is a placebo. One would feel better, whilst the other would feel better, only thinking they are better just because they've taken the drug, while that drug they've consumed is actually a placebo. This is called "the placebo effect".
The brain, in fact, loses braincells. Because some die, they (possibly) can then be renewed. We humans "think" we're losing braincells because we've watched some trashy "brainrot", whilst actually we aren't.
We ourselves can die of too much screen time. I've heard on the news months ago that people that spend more time on social media are more likely to vape. Some get violent seizures. Some can go blind, or get brain tumours, which can cause brain cancer.
My friend, look. Too much screentime is lethal and can cause life-changing effects. We, as humans, are purposely making our next generations stupid so we can be more dependent on AI.
We are not going to be able to survive if we do this much longer.
Please.
We need to be strong.
We need to survive.
We are NOT bowing down to AI or brainrot. Ever.
I think the issue comes from hyperstimulation, and it's getting worse and worse as time progresses
I can't focus on reading without scrolling youtube shorts

I remember watching alot of his content but fell off the moment he switched to animation. Him and miss Oliverandblossom was peak content for me.
Neather did I but here we are😂
I miss those thomas videos.....
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.
5:48 bro I remember watching that animation when I was 9 😭
Absolutely, I can't believe a Know your meme video was this deep and full of truth but yes!
During the pandemic I became like REALLY adicted to social media and specially at the start of it, I scrolled for HOURS and felt like all days went along like a blur, I didn't know what day it was, and every single day felt like it lasted 2 hours. And I didn't do anything else because "I didn't have time"!
It took me saying like "No, I ain't doing this anymore, this is consuming my life." for me to stop, I still spend a lot of time on my phone but WAY less so.
Lessons In Meme Culture isn't affiliated with Know Your Meme. These are two different organizations.
Guys, I think we owe the Unabomber an apology.
everybody gangsta till LIMC uploads a 7 MINUTE VIDEO
Back in the day when brainrot had style and production value. I'm talking of course, about Francis of the Filth
Honestly with the last couple of years I feel like I've been developing brainrot but it seems it's stopped for now.
Good for you
1:46 NOOO HE MISSED THE POWER UP😭😭😭🙏🙏
Baby gronk rizzed up lilly dun then kai cenat reacted but was fanum taxed by skibidi toilet and sent to ohio where he was forced to stop mewing and drink the grimace shake which made him stop his edging streak until he gooned.
The fact that I never watched family guy, but know every line from the videos you put in is frightening.
I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again. This is no different from when we all constantly quoted ASDF movies on the playground 15 years ago.
Though something needs to be done about the AMOUNT of screen time. That can’t be good
1:50 if she hates tiktok so much why doesnt she just delete it? I mean i absolutely agree with her that it is legitimately ruining lives, but "you can't get away from it" is an overstatement.
"What is Brainrot?" short-form content
Short
S
nah
How the fuck is meme reviews nowadays the least biased content out there, I'm extremely glad I subscribed to you
the brainrot has always been with us, its just going to keep morphing into more abstract things. the part i hate is how predatory companies are with it. my childhood brainrot feels far more innocent compared to this seething algorithmic nightmare.
This sums it up pretty nicely.
its incessant and purposeful.
Don't blame the companies, it's the parents that let the children stare at a screen for 10 hours a day
I'd like to see the comparison of attention span between kids who read a lot vs kids who use ipads/smartphones a lot. I bet there would be a siginificant difference in their attention span.

Agreed. There's going to be an obvious decline.
Even my 60 y/o mother is watching instagram/facebook videos while watching tv at the same time...

The 'Tokyo Ghost' seems awfully similar to Dr Who's 'Bad Wolf' saga.
How?
It really doesn't
@@kingpanguan it does
@@kingpanguan minus the sexual content
First context I heard brainrot in was about how you like a character or show so much. I'm talking like, liking a My Little Pony character so much you just can't stop thinking about them. It's that kind of context that I use brainrot for.
Ironically, brainrot itself is also a form of brainrot considering it comes from the same system of memes.
We need the meteor.
Its not that deep jit 💀
@@David280GG Ok zoomer.

As an 11 year old, I approve of the thumbnail
When you think about it this means someone could learn countless informative content and act on it to become a super genius
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
This was actually very educating and informative surprisingly. learned a lot from it. very well researched, nice job brah.
What I actually like is the wave of self-awareness that's starting to crop up with Zoomers. Usually it's just "Younger generation sucks." and we move on, but sometimes Gen Z just looks back at pre-2018 UA-cam and realises that what we were watching was equally dumb. I mean, the first type of video to be considered big with gen Alpha is minute-long Gmod videos. You know who else watched minute-long Gmod videos as kids? Us! And it's not even new, it's just a reinvention of the Punch and Judy show.
Some Tiktok and UA-cam Short are actually brain rot, like subway surfers, anti stress, family guy, and even cartoons. They are 4 young cousin having watching kids fun, but something yapping happens. Btw, i was therapy to make stop brainrot.
Wow that's a long video compared to usual! Not complaining, it's interesting
Ima need a translation for that first Tik-Tok
My attention span is so short that I don’t even watch the shorts I just imagine them and gain just as much dopamine
