I know I'm old but... I don't get it? Kids these days though, they seem to *embrace* content labelled as 'brain rot'. They love it. It's a guilty pleasure (like chewing gum in class when you're not supposed to). If it raises a smirk or even a chuckle it's done it's job?

But kids like to be rebellious, like wot we were, and will find pleasure in something just because the oldies don’t likey or understands. They are carving their own niche.

Yeah I guess every generation can have their "new thing" that the old farts don't get. I just wish it was something less... sad

Quite. And something that wasn't torching the planet would be nice. I mean, my parents hated my endless 90s house music but (other than the immediate 'environment') it didn't impact the environment much.

I don't know - I'm too old for brain rot as well, but I think even that is purposefully stupid in a nihilistic way, I can understand that. This AI slop is just ... nothing. If this was made by a human, you'd at least be interested in how they made it. But this - it's barely content at all.
