Marilyn's Photos - Oct 24, 2025 - The New Brain Rot

 

There’s old brain rot and new brainrot. Is it two words or one?  That’s how fast the rot is happening.  The old brain rot is the word of the year by Oxford Dictionary - it means: consuming low-quality, repetitive content of social media and the resulting mental fog that accompanies it. 

The new brainrot?  

“Taco Tuesday brainrots like “Chips and Queso” and “Quesadilo Vampro”  were released in October 2025.”

Got me on this - it seems that there is a lot of work needed to describe and explain these. Something more straight-forward is Brainrot Skibidi toilet.  Here’s the description:

“The animated YouTube series Skibidi Toilet has become the epicenter of modern language brain rot. Alexey Gerasimov's bizarre series about humanoid toilets fighting camera-headed people has racked up over 65 billion views and got more than 36 million subscribers.”


The pictures like the one below are everywhere once you start to look.  The great chasm is between those immersed in the online world and the rest of us - that would be older people.  

What’s going on?  “Ultimately, brain rot words aren’t just a symptom of digital distraction—they’re a window into how young people connect, joke, and express themselves in an era of endless content and constant change.”

You can find a list of brain rot words HERE.  You will need to “scroll down” the article to get to them. Here are a few: 

skibidi, rizz, no cap, bussin, goblin mode, yeet, goofy ahh and fanum tax.
