Brainrot is more than just a trend, it’s a way of life

We do not understand the judgemental glances everyone gives us since we walk a lonely road. The rolling eyes and remarks that our entire personality is “brainrotted,” it is not like we use phrases that are demoralizing, they are just more big brain. And why is everyone so serious? There is absolutely nothing rotten about our “very cutesy, very demure” personalities.
Let’s get something straight: these phrases are the mottos of our lives. It has affected our daily routine in ways no one can imagine. When the sound of “We bring the boom” wakes us up in the morning, it is hard to start the day off on the wrong foot. We then look at the mound of blank homework assignments that we didn’t do because of our dedication to YouTube Shorts (not procrastination). If only our teachers would understand how necessary our daily social media stimulation is and how it’s a greater priority than this junk we won’t use for the rest of our lives.
The only form of schoolwork that interested us was math or science when we learned about “sigmas,” “omegas” and “alphas.” However, these phrases were all downgraded into placeholders or protocols used to solve some worthless equation. It was heartbreaking to see our beloved terms being used for irrelevant topics; it had to be some kind of appropriation.
Our daily diets have taken a turn for the healthier, consisting strictly of Lunchly and Red 40 filled ice pop Prime. Not to be confused with Lunchables, Lunchly is the far superior and tasty version of the two, with the “way drippier cheese” as part of the meal. We would give this meal line up a boom out of 10.
Tuesdays have become the highlight of our week as it’s when a new episode of “Talk Tuah,” a popular podcast by Hayley Welch, is released. The subjects discussed in that podcast are thoroughly relevant and solid advice with topics like Roman warfare and a how-to guide on ghosting. This podcast has changed our lives because of the sophisticated takes on socioeconomic issues like how to pay our taxes for half the required amount.
There is a common misinterpretation that these social media microtrends are not beneficial to our society and are destroying our future generations. To that, we say to look at the music industry. From absolute hits varying from hip hop to rap genres, there is something for everyone. Take “Thick Of It” by KSI for example- its catchy lyrics and “skibidi” beat makes it a certified hood classic, as well as the catchy melody in “FE!N,” by Travis Scott (Only the real ones know it’s not “Fein”).
Being “brainrotted,” according to our frontal lobe lacking classmates, is not a flaw; it is our greatest attribute that is misunderstood by many. As Kendrick Lamar said, they are just “not like us,” and we pity those who can’t fully comprehend the complexity and beauty of our humor. We don’t think our brain is rotted right to the core, it is brain nourishment. When we imagine a perfect utopia of our society, we imagine waking up from our perfect dream of scarfing down Costco chicken bakes and Prime, on the battle bus. Negative aura for not agreeing with us.
