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.
