right-wing brain rot

Theory that as the brain ages it begins to rot away, thus giving way for people to hold more right-wing beliefs as they get older. As right-wing beliefs are inherently nonsensical only a poorly functioning brain could hold them.

Oh, he used to believe in science and factually correct information, but unfortunately right-wing brain rot has gotten a hold of him and now he thinks science is out to get him and extreme weather is the result of gay people having more rights.

TikTok Brain Rot

A semi-humorous condition characterized by a severe and persistent decrease in attention span, believed to be caused by excessive consumption of TikTok videos. Individuals with this affliction often find it challenging to focus on tasks for extended periods and have a heightened tendency to get distracted by short, catchy content.

A cultural phenomenon where one's perception of reality, trends, and societal norms becomes disproportionately influenced by TikTok content, often leading to skewed worldviews or overemphasis on fleeting internet trends.

Example: "Ever since Jenny started watching TikTok six hours a day, she can't even finish a 10-minute YouTube video. She's got a serious case of TikTok Brain Rot!"

Example: "Brad's been trying to replicate every viral dance from the app; it's like he's got TikTok Brain Rot or something."

Brain Rot Syndrome

A behavioral phenomenon where an individual frequently uses specific words or phrases that are generally considered bothersome or cringe-inducing. This repetitive use becomes habitual, making it difficult for the person to avoid incorporating these terms into their everyday language.

Leo got hooked on the song “Skibidi” and started saying it all the time. He also used “rizz” to describe people’s charm, even when it didn’t fit the situation. This habit of using “skibidi” and “rizz” too much is what you’d call Brain Rot Syndrome—it’s when someone can’t stop using certain slang words that others find annoying.
