brain-rot
Scrolling-induced stupor
Brain-rot is mental deterioration from consuming too much low-quality content, especially mindless social media and internet entertainment.
The term suggests your mind is literally decaying from endless scrolling: I've been watching TikToks for three hours—pure brain-rot.
It can also describe the content itself: That show is absolute brain-rot.
