Do people actually speak this way now…it sounds dumb…lol
I just cant believe it…
Okay, okay… Read this if you want, or don’t, lol.
The whole “brainrot” thing is birthed from a few factors, at least in my mind.
To start, Gen Z humor is very senseless. The more ridiculous it is, the funnier, generally. Some content creators made stuff that would usually just be laughed at for about a month and then die off, but due to the sheer scale and rising popularity of this “brainrot” content, platforms like YouTube and TikTok’s algorithm pushed it more and more.
Because the young audiences tend to just love whatever’s put in front of them, the popularity EXPLODED… But only briefly. Because of this brief popularity boom in the younger (Gen Alpha) audiences, YouTube’s algorithm pushed it more into different audiences, who somewhat rejected it or found it really dumb. Which it is. Other creators merged it with the popular “Sigma male” and “God Tier Rizz” memes/what-ever-the-fuck-you-name-it to try and get more popularity, especially from the younger kids, and it worked? I guess so… This prompted other creators to mock this content or the Gen Alpha Kids who actually viewed it, which actually just ended up pushing it more and more because there was so much content related to it, and nowadays it’s just a massive… Thing… Everybody’s heard it at least once, and it’s hard to forget because of how STUPID it is.
Anyway, I’m probably wrong on a lot of points.

kinda like what mecha_twitchy said, but i’ve been hearing people spanning teenagers to 20 year olds using brainrot slang like "aura’, “ohio” and other tiktok brainrot words i don’t understand at all since i never go on social media.
I kinda think that it looped from serious, to ironic, to serious again.
I personally say that type of stuff to see others reactions and laugh. But that’s pretty much it.
