Internet brainrot, also known simply as brainrot, is an Internet slang term used to describe either cringeworthy or nonsensical videos or memes heavily posted on Social media websites such as YouTube and TikTok. The term first started getting popularized in 2023 and 2024 with the main cause of the term "brainrot" being caused by the fictional meme syndrome Skibidi Toilet Syndrome. This "syndrome" was supposed to be appearing in young kids such as ones in Generation Alpha who would get hooked on the Skibidi Toilet YouTube web-series and supposedly act either more violent or stimulated when they could not watch it, or being too obsessed with the series in general and the act the characters in the series.
Slang terms that would usually get called "brainrot" include:
Rizz: Having good charisma with other people.
Gyat: A big butt, popularized by Twitch (service) streamer Kai Cenat, who is also credited with being pioneer of "brainrot".
Fanum tax: The taking of other people's food as a "tax". This slang term was popularized by another Twitch streamer who is friends with Kai Cenat, Fanum (streamer).
