Brainrot terms flood left and right, and there seems to be no escape. From 67 to Brr Brr Patapim. UGGHHH. If only there was a way to put an end to this madness.
“Huh, the great meme reset. It can be the perfect end to this brainrot madness.”
Yes, the great meme reset will forever (or at least for two more weeks) be known as a historical moment for Gen Alpha children. But how will we know what the great meme reset is without knowing why it is happening.
In December of 2024 a famous singer named Skrilla released a song called Doot Doot which featured a lot of use of the numbers six seven. After this song was released it appeared in a lot of edits about a basketball player named LaMelo Ball. In March of 2025 a kid named Maverick Trevillian became famous after yelling the iconic phrase “67” while doing an exciting hand gesture.
In January of 2025 a TikTok creator named eZburger401 made a weird creature. A shark with blue shoes. Yup, this TikToker created a shark with three legs, each leg wearing Nike shoes. And on top of that, he used weird AI and used a weird AI voice to explain this mess. This created Italian brainrot.
In February 2025 an Indonesian (not Italian) TikToker named Noxaa-.... created another Italian brainrot called Tung Tung Tung Sahur. A giant log holding a baseball bat. Then people created many other Italian brainrots, with some of the main ones being Lirili Larila, Ballerina Cappucina, Bombardino Crocodilo, Orcalero Orcala, Boneca Ambalabu, Brr Brr Patapim, and of course Tralalero Tralala and Tung Tung Tung Sahur.
Throughout the year of 2025, many other types of brainrot emerged. People started investing thousands of dollars worth of Labubus and talking about how much the K-pop demon hunters slayed. Even the famous YouTuber Kai Cenat made a brain-rot by putting one of his hands around his mouth in a fist shape with his pinky up and saying the word “girl” multiple times because, weirdly enough, it actually makes the sound “Doi Doi Doi.”
Before this mess got terrible, a TikToker named joebro909 proposed a stop to this madness. A final resort, the end of an era, the healing of mental health, The Great Meme Reset. For the rest of 2025, people began spreading the word. It was society's only hope. In November, the word became pretty popular, so that almost everyone knew about it. However, in December last year, word got out to the brainrot kids. Obviously, they weren’t happy. They fought back against everything anyone said against the memes and strived to keep the brainrot at all costs.
On December 31, 2025, everybody on the internet knew what was to happen. The countdown to the new year began. “10, 9, 8,” the end of an era, “7,6,5” the start of a better future, “4,3,2,” the destruction of all brainrot, “1,0,” “Happy Great Meme Reset!!!” Everyone started saying all the old memes they knew from Neon Cat to success kid, from Doge to Spooderman, because they were (officially) all back.
Ten minutes later, everything fell into flames. The Brainrot kids just kept saying all the brainrot terms they knew, as the Great Meme Reset supporters just stayed silent. The people who wanted an end to this mess lost after all the excitement they had built up.
