Bro. The world has negative aura💀

By: Peter Easterwood

What is going on, Skibidi Rizzlers? If that was a confusing question to read, then it is similar to the rest of the world scrolling through social media. The English language is ever-evolving, but it recently seems to have exponentially declined, with Gen-Z and Gen-Alpha running the show. Over time, parents worry that their children will learn dark, twisted, and even abhorrent words at school but now, in the year 2024, they should be more worried about their offspring learning about the “Brainrot” in the world. Parents: utilize this article as a gateway into the brains of all children, and maybe an encyclopedia of Brainrot.

There is no way to introduce the Wild West of Brainrot fully. No one truly knows when it really started, although many can agree that it gained mainstream attention from MLG videos or Youtube Poops. To describe either of these would be impossible, but the concept of early Brainrot is overly-edited videos with constant flashing lights and loud noises of (what used to be) relevant memes. As an example, here is a video to dissect, and try to understand what is even going on. All the young Gen-Zers in the mid-2010s would watch these all the time. 24/7. For fun. Now, though, the videos look more like a collage of random than anything that would present entertainment.

When you look at today’s humor, you will not see a stark contrast compared to the past. The constant idea of random, incoherent words is still present in the “comedy” of it, except with MORE randomness. You can see in this Walmart video ad that Brainrot has even affected the advertising world. Teachers around the world have experienced the use of words like Rizz (meaning charming, supposedly), Aura (meaning a vibe someone gives), Skibidi Toilet (meaning something deserves its own article), although many do not try to replicate this wording to avoid being judged from the same people using it. The world is infected with this virus of incomprehensible words, with Oxford awarding "Rizz" the “Word of the Year 2023”.

The world, as previously stated, is constantly evolving-- changing for the better or even for the worse. The English language is the biggest example of the latter, slowly devolving into madness with the amount of new words developed by the current young generations. While there have been classes built to research and dive deep into Taylor Swift's songs, the world should slowly develop a class into diving deep into Brainrot, its humble beginnings and where it is now. If only the world was perfect, then everyone could be the very sought-after “Max Aura, Skibidi Toilet, Rizzler”.
