Brain rot is a term used to describe internet content of low quality or value, and the negative psychological effects caused by it.[1] As a psychological descriptor, it implies the spending of excessive amounts of time online consuming meaningless content, such as certain internet memes, with resultant deterioration in cognitive functioning, attention span and intellect.[2] The term has been used online as early as 2004, but rose in popularity in 2023, having itself become an internet meme.[3]
