Brain Rot

30 years from now, the next generation will adapt a new language, that of Skibidi and Rizz, of Gyatt and Mogging. Speaking in a tongue most 2024 adults cannot truly understand, as the numbing of speech becomes simplified to simple words that say many things all at once, with a hyperactive focus on making points within the short attentions of those who grew up addicted to social media. It started when websites wouldn't let you post longer than 100 characters, users had to be creative in summarising their thoughts with blunt , short words that had no room for any complexities. It was the same with videos too, people needed their attention to be immediately drawn, in order to focus on what was being presented. The whole thing had to be fast, loud and snappy, or the user would scroll past it, onto the next video that would satisfy their attention much faster. Money was to be made online through these many social media apps, the creators who spat out the most colourful, obnoxious and visually hypnotising content would become most viral. In the mid to late 2020s, kids began to speak and act like the super speed videos their poor minds consumed, speaking in gibberish that only they could understand. They lost interest in reading or painting, there was no satisfaction in slowly unraveling a mystery or releasing a piece of art onto paper, that only previously existed in their minds. For such efforts required deep thought, imagination and patience, something this new generation could not stand. Their brains needed constant stimulus, or else they'd feel lost and confused, as too many thoughts and images would race through their exhausted brains. This assault on the senses, through online content, memes, videos and even social interactions was soon to become the norm and by 2031, all teens and young adults thought and acted this way. Nightclubs soared in popularity, as people wanted to stay there all day and night, as the blinding strobe lights and Skibidi Music that played deafeningly from the speakers was sensory heaven. This overload of vibrance was what replaced relaxation and deeper thought. With this new trend in society, AI and technology took over all cognitive thinking. The machines we created to serve us, soon began to dictate us. Not because they had grown an evil intelligence that sought to destroy all humanity, but because the last generation had designed them this way. All math was calculated through computers, artists and writers were replaced with artificial intelligence programs, that could replicate the world's best pieces of art with an accuracy so flawless, it was pointless for any human to pick up a pen or paintbrush ever again. Soon all of entertainment was manufactured automatically and the brain rot generation did not question it. In fact, they loved it! Instead of saying; "I'm going to the bathroom" this generation would say; "Bro gotta Skibidi Toilet, yo might be mewing too!" Which translates to; "I'm going to the toilet and might do my makeup as well."
When ordering a coffee, they might ask; "gimme a Rizz drink bro, one big Gyatt!" Which could mean; "I'll have your most popular beverage, make it a large." The customer service worker would understand the request instantly though, for the drink would be produced by a vending machine of sorts, that would have replaced all needs for a human barista worker. In fact, most young employees were useless in the 2030s, they couldn't focus on any task longer than five minutes without crying; "ayo this shizz got me edging like it's Ohio, no Rizz in this chungus bro!" Which roughly translates to; "hey, this task is too tough, I'm on the edge of crying here! There's nothing good about this job!" Even when translating brain rot speech, it can be difficult to truly comprehend what this future generation is speaking. Yet the horrors of the 2030s goes deeper still, as most jobs were soon carried out by a variety of funny little robots. Flying drones became popular in the 2020s, but by the 2030s; there were self-driving cars and near the end of this decade, humanoid androids would deliver pizzas and parcels to people's doors instead. Carrying out their duties without any drama or human error whatsoever. No more did workers need the Skibidi Toilet, they didn't need to take lunch breaks either or improve on their Rizz or Mogging. These happy little robots just did their jobs and even danced and sang for the brain rot masses. Kids would be raised by colourful computer generated characters, through holograms and phone screens; depicting pretty anime girls who fired their brains with an overload of useless, yet fun information that served only to please their immature brains. The adults would clap and sing along to these AI overlords too, the new Gods became cute cartoon rabbits, depicting every colour of the rainbow, sparkling like fireworks, who hopped around their living room and screamed brain rot nonsense, such as; "1, 2 buckle my shoe" and who could forget the classic Skibidi Toilet; "Dom Dom, yes, yes, yes, skib Skibidi Dom" that would terrify anyone living in the 2020s, but was seen as Chad level entertainment worthy of the GOAT and sigma, to the dim witted fools of the 2040s. If you time travelled from 2024 to the year 2054, you would not understand a single word the population would speak, the brain rot slang we knew of in 2024 would have devolved further into a much more premitive form of speech, where whole communities would form under the banner of Big Chungus and Rizzler Sigmas. They would look back on viral videos such as Skibidi Toilet and believe them to be genuine documentaries about world war 3 (which never actually happens), thinking that in the mid 2020s, toilets became sentient and raged war against humanity. Some even developed a bizarre phobia of toilets because of this. Other religions worshipped the animal known as "what the dog doing" a little puppy that was acting strange caught on video, this meme from the 2020s got lost in translation, as people thought it was the birth of brain rot culture that created the new society they lived in. Whole dog shaped churches were dedicated to this meme, but others argued it was Smurf Cat who was the real Messiah of brain rot culture! Sigmas of each society rose up and began wars across the globe, gigachad warriors fought over pizza towers to prove who had the ultimate Rizz, trying to determine which bro was the ultimate GOAT. As ridiculous as all this sounds, the alien future of the 2050s is most definitely a sad and scary one. Every city block would be littered with digital billboards that depicted flashing advertising for Mogging and Mewing products, as well as On Fleek brands and YOLO guides about how to become the GOAT Sigma alpha. Every city would glow a hideous display of pink, red and blue neon, looking like some nightmarish cyberpunk city full of depravity and vulgarity. The people would dye their hair strange colours of blinding neon and most men would have AI girlfriends, who were life sized holograms of their favourite anime or video game character. All the while, the self sufficient technology would build the society around the unthinking masses, as the people slowly, unknowingly surrendered to the might of the androids, that would eventually decide to replicate the Gods of ancient cultures, creating new memes for them to obsess and worship over. By 2060, the second meme wars would begin!
