Have you ever wondered who John Pork is? What about Livvy Dunne? Brainrot has consumed social media and taken the younger generation by storm. The name brainrot was coined after many people thought that after viewing Brainrot that it was so stupid they felt their brain was actually going crazy. The viewer doesn’t take away any meaningful thing after watching brainrot. When these videos were first circulating on TikTok, they included subway surfers, soap cutting, or Minecraft gameplay that was taking up half of the screen. This results in a constant over stimulation for the viewer. Mainly, the most affected by this were kids, mainly in the generations, Gen Z and Gen Alpha. To dive into actual examples, here are the top 5 most common phrases, ideas, or videos. One of the first known uses of brainrot began in 2020 with the popular video game Among Us. With Covid-19 and mandated quarantining, people had to stay home. With this, there was a rise in electronic and social media usage. Among Us had major success for its quick and fun games. The word “sus,” standing for suspicious, was popularized in the game and online. The second base for brainrot is Quandale Dingle. He changed the idea of brainrot, and is known as “one of the founding fathers” of brainrot. Quandale Dingle was popularized after a user on Reddit posted, a found laptop, and when opened the name Quandale Dingle was displayed. Thirdly, Kai Cenat should also be credited for the rise of brainrot. He is an American online streamer and YouTuber that uploads comedy-based videos. He is mainly known for his life streams as he brings special guests on. Fourthly, the TikTok rizz party took the world by storm. It’s famously known as a video where an entertainment company posted a TikTok, amassing 9 million likes, of a group of boys dancing to the song “Carnival.” The people in the video were Blue Tie Kid, white shirt kid, tomato kid, group leader clone, mustache guy, and finally Turkish Quandale Dingle. Deep analysis and study was done on each of the boys after their fame. Famously, Blue Tie Kid was the leader as he led his friends to the beat drop of the song. Finally, John Pork is one of the most recent examples of brainrot. John Pork was a pig influencer, who is famously known for calling TikTokers around the globe. The famous video of John Pork has been featured in many TikToks nationwide. Some honorable mentions include mogging, goofy ahh, and Baby Gronk. Some popular words in the brainrot world include “rizz,” “sigma,” “mewing,” and “skibidi.” To briefly describe them, rizz is short for the word charisma, almost how effective you are at getting a partner. Mewing is the act of putting your tongue to the roof of your mouth to achieve a better jawline. And finally “skibidi” is most commonly used with the word toilet after it. It has no known meaning, adding to the brainrot stigma.
