howdy. hope you are having a wonderful day. you're the best. yes you. you guys should check out my other video "How the Internet Destroyed Gen Alpha" because it falls right in line with this situation 👀: ruclips.net/video/wKmj5p2XmBo/видео.htmlsi=OVqM7IkeWOQQpq73
I feel like a collaboration between you and Raymundo 2112 would be a great idea, considering the overlap in the subject of brainrot and generation Alpha.
they basically described addiction. these kids are addicted to this content, it’s a virtual drug. literally destroying their brains as it’s meant to be developing. they need an intervention.
my gen alpha niece (2016 baby) was given a shitty android phone since she able to hold things.. she was like 10 months old with a phone in her face. she’s using a huge ipad now.. i just can’t imagine what all this blue light will effect her face. 😓 I fear gen alpha will age faster than any of us.. at least physically.
And people will brag about how smart their child is ("he's already using a computer like an adult!"), not realizing that touch screen interaction is incredibly dumbed down so anyone of any age or ability level can use it with a minimum of cognitive effort. Congratulations, your kid has now been introduced at a young age to an addictive consumerist marketing interface that will direct the rest of their life.
What scares me more than the brain rot content is the fact that so many parents give their children unrestricted access to the internet. There wouldn't be any of this if there wasn't a demand.
I work at a school, parents nowadays don't pay attention at all. They've just stopped actually interacting with their kids in parental and educational ways.
Many working class families don't have a choice; they work long, underpaid shifts and as a result are way too tired to give children the attention they need to properly develop when they're home.
@@epicgamerjamerthen they shouldn’t be buying 5 year olds iPhones and iPads. If the parents are so busy they can’t interact with the child, giving them unfettered access to the internet is the laziest thing you can do as a parent. There are plenty of products for kids that have educational value and are entertaining, such as LeapFrog.
I babysit for a kid who watches RUclips shorts and I’ve overheard them saying “If you don’t like this video your mom will die tomorrow” and it genuinely scares him. I told his mom about it and she just laughed it off
@@L3S4nI work in the mall and tons of Gen A kids and the youngest Gen Z kids are super awkward. They have basically zero social skills they border on being fully blown psychopaths.
Wow, unreal xDD. The "share this comment/video/post or else ur mom dies" is the most common thing on the internet since the very origin of the internet. Stop being so protective and overreacting, life is unfair, internet is unfair
Yup gotta go to work for that new car, truck, house whatever you get the gist. Parents traded thier children's future so both can go work to keep up with the jones's
And beg for the government to stop or fix or actually ban but not really realize, that it's actually the job of parents when comes to online content... There people that will it's the government's when at this point, IT'S NOT.
I am a single father of a 4 year old living in a country where I barely speak the language. My kid’s grandmother lives nearby so she helps me with him sometimes. She means well but when I pick my son up from her house on Sunday nights he doesn’t want to get off her tablet and he’s watching this crap. Throughout the week he begs to watch it. Thank you for this video so I can share it with Grandma.
The problem isn't even all of these memes and shitposts as content, we had that as millenials as well. The problem is the very early age access to the internet granted by the parents.
That's my thought. I teach high school and say it isn't so much exposure to stupid shitposting that's a problem--I'm not going to pretend mid-00s memes were high brow--but it's the constant exposure to maximal stimulation of online environments.
Right--and then the parents fail to monitor, check in on, or attempt to understand what their kids are actually doing online, which means that the weird, stupid, traumatic, and harmful stuff never gets talked about or properly contextualized. When I was young, my parents were very quick to curb-stomp the dumb jokes and comments I'd picked up from TV, the Internet, or other people. Even when I inwardly rolled my eyes and dismissed my parents as old and out-of-touch, at least the pushback signaled what was and wasn't going to fly. I'm not sure adults are necessarily providing that vital service as much as it's actually needed in today's world.
Today at work I met a family with a 1 year old girl who was VERY restless and cranky. The mom took her out of the stroller and gave her attention. Didn't help. They gave her a pacifier. Helped for about 10 seconds. Her dad and 4yo brother tried playing peekaboo with her. Did absolutely nothing. Then the mom pulled out Cocomelon. When I tell you this little girl INSTANTLY settled, started smiling, and became completely fixated on the screen as if nothing else existed. It was eerie to say the least. Of course when the parents took the phone back, she began fussing and crying again. I asked them how much she watched it, and they said "not a ton. But it helps when we're busy or in the kitchen." It makes me wonder.
A device is honestly more comforting than their own mother, it's like that psychology experiment where they had monkeys raised by a fake monkey mom and they grew attached to it just like a real one, people really develop connections and don't even know what they're missing.
I noticed during my middle school years I experienced the effects of brain rot affecting my impulsiveness and my lack of motivation to study, now I am fully aware of what is happening and I was glad my mom stepped in to stop me before it was too late. My heart goes out for those children ruined by the internet
Its not just kids. Im 22 right now and one of my friends has a completely eroded level of patience. I can rarely send him long fotm videos unless its something hes already interested in. I dont think the slang is something terrible, every generation makes their own unique language. The issue is unrestricted internet access from a young age. Its always had the same effect its just now people notice it more because millenials and some gen z were starting to have kids and the internet became something you cant live without. Younger generations having kids is important in this because they are the ones who are more relaxed in regards to internet access compared to those in the gen x and boomer generations who grew up and mostly lived without the internet up until the last 10 to 20 years of their lives.
@@dollin9515 yeah I am a high schooler and seeing so many students going around with words like “sigma” and “skibidi” while I am here trying to understand slay like come on I think just a few years ago “cool” was just that then the internet came along and now I can’t even understand the internetification of basic words
@@soranapop2024 as a matter of fact because of the internet I nearly failed eight grade, and I’m at forever glad my mom held me back before I destroyed my life even further.
I’ve been having difficulty understanding ppl online and irl my entire life so I never really even understood the brainrot thing fully despite being involved for some time Not sure if that’s a good thing or not My social anxiety and lack of communication skills helped me this time lol
My friends boy is 8 and he knows every flag of the world. He knows how many countries border each other. He knows every state in America. He is 3 years ahead in maths than his peers. This is down to his father giving him the time of day. He has a tablet but just plays games on it.
Good but let'S not 'rest on some small progress', yes? Science-RUclipsrs like Sci-Man-Dan and Professor Dave and the specifically-scientific Videos by UpIsNotJump and bomberguy are a nice thing your friend's boy has probably not yet found, but what about you meanwhile? Brainot is a Problem? Theress a problem AND a reportbutton on EVERY plattform. Damn, if we could only Marry the 2. Ironically brainrot-adjacent if you just watch this video here, think "Oh, well, thats baddd" and then do nooothing aboutt ittt I strongly believe in Sex-Sells-using-underaged-Girls being WRONG aaaand i believe youtube's reportfuntction-button is underused. Fyi Keyword '100 Girlfriend Anime' leads to a franchise specialized on it
Very true. And the Millennial generation paved the way for 'brainrot content' to even exist and are the parents of these kids. We're the generation who created RUclips Poop, WTF Boom, Allahu Akbar compilations and SpongeBob edits. Every generation has its form of brainrot and it's eventually forgotten by most people. People used to consider television & videogames brainrot.
I avoid social media like the plague as well; Not only due to the stupid content, but for the sake of my mental health. The closest I have is RUclips, but I'm also not a creator, just a commentor/viewer kinda deal.
@@OverlordZeroULTIMA Social media isn't inherently bad. The main issue is when you use it too much, give it too much importance in your life and follow certain trends and shit. Even if there's a lot of shit content it's no issue (except for wasting your time I guess) if you don't use it all the time. An hour or so a day is completely fine. Checking social media several times an hour? Yeah, that's a big problem.
as a camp counselor i work with kids as young as 4 or 5. they'll constantly say things like "you're so skibidi rizzler gyatt" and i'll ask them "do you even know what you're saying means?" and they'll just be like "no" but spend all day speaking like that anyways
I’ve ran into people who legit said “I got this from tik tok” And had to correct them so many times. It’s a headache dealing with those type of folks🤦🏾♂️
Literally my friend. All of her source of info is tiktok. She's a millenial, like, me. I'm just like "Uh huh, yeah" Because I ain't gonna argue with someone who has tiktok and isekai webtoon as her brain.
the fact that toddlers have more access to the internet than me, a teenager old enough to drive, is extremely concerning. the top 2 replies to this comment are also concerning

Fr when I was like 6 I didn't know enough about electronics to figure out the button to turn on the TV. Now there are kids younger than that knowing how to unlock a phone and finding the youtube app to watch cocomelon
@@Abraham-yf2sd I’ve been working with kids for over 25 years. The change in the last 8 years or so has been dramatic… and terrifying. It IS the damn phones, and the sooner we acknowledge that, the sooner we can take steps to mitigate the damage we’ve done to this generation. 😓
@@PoshPigsHerd Sadly I don't think there's any way to really save this generation, but are just too attached to their phones. The company I work for went seven years without any accidents involving their company vehicles, then they hired three fresh out of high school graduates who crashed *three* of our vehicles within their first month, all because they were looking at their PHONE while driving. Bare in mind, while yes we do use our phones for navigation (we patrol sites using company vehicles) company policy is very clear that you do not look at your phone while driving and that you program your next route ONLY in the parking lot and never on the road. These kids? Nope, they were watching youtube vids while driving. Heck, I get nervous just looking away from the road due to how many dangerous drivers there are! I can't imagine looking at your phone all the time *while* driving.
In fact, people have been aware of this Drone brain rot since ancient times, right when the printing press was first invented, people thought that books could actually make people stupid, they said, people would become lazy to think because they read too much and this has actually been proven
I'm a millennial without kids and I think the started with us, unfortunately. Gen Z and A grew up with parents stuck online or glued to their phones. Kids mimic what adults do.
Progress doesn't stand still. Content becomes more and more addictive and enticing, search engines become better at holding people's attention. Children are priority target because they are especially vulnerable. And regulations are severely lacking.
I noticed I was addicted to TikTok and deleted that shit from my phone. 1h was feeling like 5 minutes while watching TikToks and my room would go from light to dark while I scrolled my hours away. Currently thinking abt deleting instagram too because I open reels far too often. I don’t have a lot of time, but any free time that I have becomes reels time far too often…
I loved to watch cat and science tiktoks for one or two hours from time to time, until TikTok changed the algorithm and I then I would just get dumb "brain rot" like content suggested. TikTok, YT, gaming, tv and such are kinda ok if you limit your watch/play time and if you pick good content... And if you also go out and touch the grass often XD
I don't know what 'reels' means, but if it helps I like to say that I neved looked at tiktok, don't have twitter, facebook (had one when younger), instagram or any other social media out there, except for RUclips if you think that's social media. Speak well, skill up - social media does nothing for you.
@@pickandlick7158 absolutely true. Reels are short videos on instagram. They are less addictive that tiktoks in my opinion, but is the same concept that instagram stole from tiktok.
Don't forget the "older" kids. The old people who "are new" to the internet and hooked on their cellphones, with "easy 1 click news and information" and literally "see" the world via the news source real or fabricated.
Even worst, they've transition from their old cellphones with 1 click to brick phones with many clicks. The convenience of getting news and information is magnified several folds!
I teach ELA for high school, and the number of students who are literally addicted to their phones is sickening. This year, I'm doing a unit where they tell me a topic that they found online, and we will research it with reliable sources. I'm hoping to inspire at least ONE student to actually look further than TT or IG for their news.
as a spanish person, all of my classmates are addicted to tiktok (not me tho) and yes, they watch skibidi toilet and have low attention spans And also, as a plus, their grades are terrible. I'm talking about being happy with a 2-3/10 and my goofy ass is being noticed for actually trying to get good grades. Heck, even the music teacher is like "these kids are fucking stupid"
Im addicted to my phone,but that's cuz I play cookie clicker 💀 takes like 25 hours of my time per week(dw when I go watch RUclips I just watch Minecraft and documentary vids)
My problem with this situation is that people think that it's those kids or their parents are to blame. It's systematic issue. It should be solved on governmental level.
for my generation (born in 1983, i am late Gen-X) it was TV and cinema, so slower than internet.... Bill & Ted showed us: "ABCDE !!" = "Always be cheating, dude! Excellent!!"
I hate that in journalism it´s always the "screentime" that causes problems, but in reality i think it´s what kids actually look at and it really throws off how the parent´s views of the internet because they have slim ideas of what children consume. There is a lot of content that boosts the development of children and encourages creativity, parents just need to put in the effort to find valuable internet material.
I can somewhat agree with that. The problem is as children are exposed to more and more screen time and start to become more independent, and eventually learn to operate it on their own, it's far to easy to fall down a rabbit hole of straight trash that rots ur brain. And I think the leap from positive learning and development online to some of these topics is happening younger and younger.
We guided our kiddo towards more educational content. He watched some brain-rotty content, but we changed the video if it was a concerning one. Happened a few times, and we would also voice our concerns over why that situation portrayed was problematic. I remember getting internet for the first time in my home. I also knew I knew a lot more than my parents (and my brothers) about computer programming. I also know how easy it was to access things we ''shouldn't '' Heck, even without internet, getting around my mom's horror movie ban was as easy as going to a friend's house. Not to touch on the number of mature games we were able to rent. Kids will find a way, and we all had our own brain-rot to contend with. I don't have to watch every shrieking youtuber my kid watched now, but I do watch drama channels, and he had a few names come up in them over the years. He barely remembers either of them now. As for getting too much screen time, I'm shocked at how often he puts his electronics down to go outside and play. He's not athletic, at least, not a runner, but he does love to observe his environment and play with the neighbor kids when they're out. We've let him watch standard RUclips since he was 5, though. Found better educational channels there, plus the same channels from RUclips kids. He doesn't interact with comments yet, but doesn't have a phone plan either, so texting isn't his focus right now. That'll be a beast we tackle when he's more confident there. I keep reminding him people can be the real monsters for a reason. Knowing the tool you hand a kid helps prevent issues. Even with nerf guns, we encouraged him to treat it like a real gun. We don't have guns, and don't shoot, but it's America. I can't know he'd never encounter one. I want to know I at least told him not to point it at himself or others, and always treat them like they are loaded when you know they aren't. If he gets snippy, I know where to find the videos that detail what happens when you don't. Parenting isn't easy, and if it seems that way, you're probably doing something wrong. I wouldn't call our monitoring easy. It tends to be migraine inducing from the shrieking, and it's exhausting keeping up with all the fetishes to watch out for....but I'll be watching that video again and again today. And tomorrow. And every day until he finds a new fixation. At least he likes cute animals, too, so we get a break XD
@@trashcatlinol Thank you for sharing your experience! It's great to hear from a parent´s view and I appreciate your approach to guiding your child online. I can imagine parenting takes a lot of vigor, so it´s nice to hear your child is being very responsible; this will help in life!
I literally spend at least 5 hours a day on PC and I have no idea what half of these words mean and I don't have a clue who any of these brain rot content creators are
I think parents just don't bother trying to begin with, or "don't have the time" to help their kids find productive content or hobbies. It's a shame. There is so much interesting educational content for kids out there, and also practically anything other than expensive hobbies is better than doomscrolling TT, and watching nonsensical brainrot that provides no value.
I'm a 90s kid parent. My girls have tablets, yes. But I have time limits on them, I monitor the apps they download (straight up banned TikTok here,) and there is absolutely zero social media.
@@EpokPotato All I said is that it's ripped straight from incel forums, which is true, that's where slang like "looksmaxxing" or "mogging" originated from, while others like "sigma" originated from closely related communities like the red pill or PUAs which popularized the idea of classifying men into alpha males, beta males, sigma males and omega males. I didn't said that trying to improve yourself is bad, but I do find it a bit concerning that literal kids are being influenced by resentful women hating basement dwellers, and while working out and eating more healthy is good, I wouldn't be happy about kids getting obsessed with their jaws or their eyes having to look a super specific way even if it requires plastic surgery to achieve. That level of superficiality can't be healthy for a society, and at that age they shouldn't even be worrying about that stuff anyways.
So sad with all the rules and censorship here on yt, they show just brainless stuff to the kids, a problem existing for many years, same with all the scam ads
@@tienthyule I am an older brother of 2 younger brothers, my parents barely have time, and they don't care enough to enforce it because they just cry and scream if they get told what to do.
3:39 the reason why I did so poor in my second and last year of middle school was because I was addicted to social media, specifically tiktok. It was like a need to watch videos for my entertainment and losing interest in completing stuff like homework. Honestly, coming from someone who has gotten their phone at the age of 11, no one under the age of 16 should have a phone. Unless they have limitations, like, no social media or a certain time limit on the device so they can get things done.
This really scares me. I've never met someone my age (teenage) who does not say something brain rot. There is no normal children with functional braincells left.
Then you probably are not around the right people. 85% of everyone in my classes are completely normal kids, and most of my friends are pretty smart. If you go online, there are certainly teenage kids who are perfectly normal, and if you search hard enough in your school, you can probably find normal kids.
There was a part at the start of this video "screen time for children under the age of 1"... those parents need to have their kids removed. No screen time under the age of 5
Tv won't people watch cartoons back in the day said it would have a bad influence on them they turned out fine each gen hates the next like it was gen z and the other one
I’m 12 years old and my friends say this at first I thought they were just joking but when I looked this up I was kinda confused why people do this.Then after the putting the pieces together then I realized this is a problem. I just want brain rot to stop so I don’t have to hear this over and over
I understand what you mean. As a kid you should just get off social media and just have real life hobbies. So you don’t end up like other kids in your generation. Try encouraging your siblings or friends to go outside and do activities that don’t include smart screens. I’m glad you’re aware of the problem though that’s a start.
I have a advice for you focus on your hobbies and limt most of your time on your phone and social media exposure read books draw play sports and eat good so u grow
no 12 year old should have unbridled access to the internet and be able to post and see content at their own free will. your parents completely failed you.
Seconding what everyone said above me. Please stay off of the net when you can. Focus on yourself and your hobbies. But that's easier said than done. I understand how worse off the world is for kids nowadays. There are no parks and malls, it's too hot outside, the libraries are closing, no walkable destinations, etc. Adults and past generations have failed us. I was lucky to be born during the last years of when it was actually viable to play outside with friends. The best thing you can do is create a safe bubble for you and your friends. Adults have failed you, so it's up to you and your peers to protect each other. Organize a club, keep in touch, and hang out with your friends in person. I wish I could do more to help.
Welp...not only brainrot exists but there is also IRL streamers like Jack Doherty, Sneako, N3ON, baby gronk with only fans models I mean I get concerned about all of this, in the future, women will start to think being some OF model is better than being a dignified woman of leadership, like astronauts, scientists and even philosophers
Probably less responsible than Gary King from The World’s End. The morality is: alcohol is better than blue light. I might use alcohol to help me sleep naturally, even if I have to sacrifice decades of life expectancy along with my liver and pancreas. What’s the point of living to 100 if you can’t even be happy or be free ? I am sure you don’t need to ask Gary King of us humans
My younger cousin is insane, bouncing off the walls, not making any sense when making a sentence. she constantly needs the screen to distract herself, it's honestly really sad and ive seen real brainrot more and more in the younger generation
Unfortunately, I think this is a worldwide problem. Even here, in Germany, I see parents giving their children (we are talking about from 2 years onwards!) a phone in their hands and have them watch either Spongebob or RUclips.
i know every generation loves to hate on the next, and bash on the things they do/like, but honestly i cannot defend the brainrot of gen alpha. as a gen z you’ll never see me raising an ipad kid, i’d be terrified to give my kid access to the internet with the way it is now
Yeah that's the best course of action we can do, learn from the mistakes of the previous generations. Brainrot has the right to exist, but we have the right to not allow our children to access it until they're of age and teach them moderation
Gen alpha were either young or were born when people on the internet really began to use it for just money, and not any ounce of fun. I managed to slightly dodge that by being born in 2007
the internet will always be a dark place and people will also always want fast money, at the end of the day the only effective preventative measure is for PARENTS to be aware of this and take action - not giving access to screens
You say this, but gen Z / Gen A isn't any more tech savvy than previous generations, and I'd argue in some cases worse. UIs and devices in general have gotten so easy to use that kids never learn how to troubleshoot, and shut down in a manner not unlike my elderly mother whenever they're confronted by something unexpected. They've been lobotomized via UI design and ease of use.
Slang like "rizz" isn't evidence of brain rot. Every generation has produced its own over-used slang, some more than others, as anyone who remembers the 1960s can confirm. Some of the slang got old fast and disappeared, some became a permanent part of the language. Looksmaxxing sounds totally disturbing, though. If you really want to improve yourself, read some books, volunteer at a soup kitchen, learn a new language, or learn to play a musical instrument.
I don't think conflating the language with the actual problems caused by brainrot content is very accurate. Kids have created slang and expanded on the way language is used for almost as long as language has been around. The brainrot content is driving the over usage of new slang and further pushing it out of context to the point that even the kids using the words and phrases may not understand the meaning. Thus, brainrot.
Also he brushes off older slang as if millennial kids werent saying words like deadass, sup, shizzle my nizzle, jiggy,phat, word, diss, rawr. It also conflates ironic internet slag with like actual sincere slang. If we're gunna throw in internet slang and memes we can include 1337, roflcopter, el1te, trollface, doggo, habeeb it, and a lot a lot of stupid memes(gen z and beyond didnt invent random irreverent humor)
absolutely, this is basically how language evolve, only inside fast pased internet communities language/meme words/idoms are more virulent and mutate faster, hence we lost touch with such people faster...also people inside such communities or with such "life style" are losing touch with outside world, which results in worse scores in "outside world" metrics...not saying that isolating yourself leads to some overall net good, but its not brainrot; those kids are probably virtuose in some areas, where we would seem demented and vice versa
actually, this is the era where slang is devolving 💀 it’s actual straight up rotting the brains of not only young minds, but even brainwashing adults into thinking it’s funny to say brainrotted gen alpha phrases when it isn’t funny at all. It was never this bad in previous generations.
@@tubeguylee-gf1tu except the slang before gen alpha wasn’t causing horrifying irreversible brainrotted damage. This is a whole new dark era of content with RUclips refusing to do anything about it, it was never this bad with previous generations.
it's predictive behavior. it happened in the past, it is happening and it will happen. humans being humans. that is why the Holy bible is: basic instructions before leaving earth.
I always say cartoons on TV were less bad. At least they were longer videos with slow moving characters and a story. You used to know what kids are watching, and if you watch with them, instead of being on your phone, it was a shared experience/memory for the kids. I bought a e-ink android tablet hoping that I would find educational apps. The apps had some many flasy animations, none of them worked on e-ink.
As a gen alpha kid, (13 years old), I want to give a perspective about this alarming issue. It is undeniably a tradgedy, and I completely agree with what everyone on the internet is saying about my generation. But I want to speak out about this issue, whenever I say to a older kid that I am born in that generation, I will immediately be made fun of because of other people in my generation who can't take topics seriously and spit out the most absurd amount of brainrot every conversation. The brainrot content has influenced my generation a lot, but some of us remain unaffected. For instance, I didn't know about all this brainrot content until I started middle school last year. I am now going into the eighth grade, and do not want to be associated with these type of children who are too immature to even have a basic conversation with. Overall, I just wanted to say that not all of the Gen Alpha kids are doomed and some of us don't associate with the brainrot side of RUclips.
I wish kids were like you today, I can tell you are a bright minded child, really know what to say, and haven't let brainrot consumed you Ot feels wrong to say this but I would, be in the army, be a proud comrade
I couldn’t agree with you more, as, from your perspective at least, gives other generations more insights that not all of gen alpha could be as negative as in the video.
I completely agree with you! The biggest problem is that other children then make fun of you and label as NERD just because you r not on Instagram, play video games, or consume rotten content or use abusive language unnecessarily!!
My cousin loves to watch Tik Tok beauty channels and she tried to buy women foundation. When we told her no, she said that she did need it and it made her skin feel soft. She's only 8...
That is disturbing. Maybe find her one of the videos that shows how women look OLDER than their ages these days because of the crap they put on their faces when they were kids and teens. I don't know a specific link, but I've seen the topic online.
Im 14, and I'm already dreading getting a job because within a few years I'll have to work with kids who have been exposed to tons of social media and brain rot since they were born. I'm glad I was born when I was.
I’m 19, currently working, there will be people out there who will standout among these ‘zombie’ like herds. There’s always diamonds in the rough but the numbers are dwindling.
My sister is gen Alpha and I’m constantly worried for her. I can’t help but think we did this to them and realized too late. Like older generations are making fun of this and saying how bad it is but we walk them right into it. We are collectively responsible for helping to correct this but what can we do at this point? I wish I knew cuz it’s weighing heavily on my heart about my little sister and these younger kids
Thank god i grew up with gta 3, 2010's youtube, funny gmod shits, chicken little, ps2, littlebigplanet, sick mlg stuff, etc etc, you know that stuff, the golden year i would say

I am so grateful that I grew up before the Internet where you played outside and talked with friends face to face and the only "screen time" was Saturday morning cartoons and a few "must watch" shows right after school.
Oh spare us that myth, dude. We were certainly cited for our TV viewing habits. That is why we had terms like "couch potato", and watched something called the "idiot box" and "boob tube". The cartoons we watched were thought to be making us too violent, and were just there to sell us toys and get us to ask for cereal full of sugar. Not to mention our video game usage had parents pitching a fit and thinking that the Atari 2600 was rotting our minds.
@@WillmobilePlus Call it a myth if it makes you feel better, but kids did not consume as much brainless entertainment as they do now and it affects them differently than it did my generation without the Internet and influences and weekly trends. We aren't talking about misunderstood perception (i.e. "TV rots your brain.") Some of our parents were couch potatoes, but not us for the most part. We played outside, talked with friends in person, started learning and gaining social skills by the time we were four years old because the shows that entertained us most were all positive educational, and as we got older, we didn't absorb said media into our real lives except in pretend. The little girl takes her Mom's makeup brush and a mirror and pretends she is putting on makeup to make her look pretty. Now they _have_ to do it in real life to not feel left out, all because of the Internet that. As for video games... that was always a poorly designed argument because they wanted to lump every kid into one group and then say video games caused all of the bad things to happen so all kids need to stay away, This is not true, of course, but it doesn't mean _some_ kids weren't affected by the games that they played (and acted poorly as a result), just like kids with social media are being affected now differently than their parents generally do. You become what you consume, be it in real life or online, and we already know that online life isn't healthy for us.
That is a good thing, but not the only thing that matters. I grew up rarely going outside and spending lots of time on the screen, but right now I’m doing great in school. The parents raising the children matter a lot, and I’m glad my parents taught me to study outside of school and advance my math and science years ahead
@@DanielBjorndahl It's really just sad. I wish the best for them, but cannot help but expect the worst. I even feel bad for the parents, given how difficult it is to raise a child in today's world.
The internet is practically the new parents Internet be like: "Heya there... mother? NOT ANYMORE SUCKER!!!" and then pursues to control that child's life.
I thought TV was bad now a days kids don’t have the attention span to watch a good film. I’m actually recommending watching good movies to my little brother since he just can’t get into a book.
TBH its the bad parents letting their kids watch the brain rot which is giving them the short attention spans, that is destroying the youth. What you are saying is like saying drugs exist and are therefore destroying people. It's very simple, just don't take the drugs to begin with.
It isn’t only youth. My mom installed TikTok back in late 2021, and when I tell you that her attention span is COMPLETELY demolished, I mean it. She goes almost every hour of the day on her phone, and she’s usually on TikTok or RUclips or something.
As a 13 year old who would be more fit being grouped with Millennials, I'm kinda scared of this Brave New World... We have invented our own happiness pill, and mixed it with equal parts arsenic and bleach powder.
Bro don't join them I'm an gen alpha too and I am 14 and I am genuinely disgust how other generations spit on us treating us like brainrot shit and expect us to remember thing that we've never seen like 1000 yard stare m-f in didn't even seen this in school sometime they have to understand their error because it is because of them
Happiness is something to discover. The music you hear, the sunset you bask in, or the smile you stare at. We cannot pinpoint its source, specifically. And it doesn't matter what generation you belong to, I just hope you discover that happiness for yourself one day.
The fact that you just referenced Brave New World , lets me know you’re set apart from the crowd . Good to see the goal to make what I’ve coined “the perfect New World Order baby “ hasn’t been successful on 100% of the population. Pretty close , but still ❤
I don't blame content creators for wanting to make money, I don't blame the children getting sucked in. I blame the parents for using the internet as a babysitter.
Yeah but then you factor in that a lot of them probably work 2 or 3 jobs to keep their family fed with inflation and the financial crisis going on and... I think the real root of the problem is that we live in a world that seems so hopeless and shit that we have to work our asses off and then numb ourselves with addictive bs like social media in the little free time we have to not go insane
Naw ... Just because you create content and want to make money doesn't negate your moral obligation imo. If you make this crap content you're a crap person. And yep the parents are responsible to some degree but they can't completely prevent kids today from being exposed to what's out there. The only ones who aren't responsible are the kids.
Yes, you should blame them… so many are aware that this content harms children, yet they’re self-centred enough to make a quick buck rather than produce something good for society even if it’s at the expense of public health. The home isn’t the only place of socialisation. My parents were very strict on my device usage and yet I was still exposed to disturbing things online because of people I knew from school. I have relatives who are the same yet parrot brain rot… you’d have to completely isolate your child and homeschool them by your optimistic logic.
13:30 the funniest thing about Kareem Shami is that looking better at age 22 than you did at 17... is the most normal experience ever. lmao how is that an achievement
As a communication and word nerd, Thankyou from the bottom of my heart for using the word “addictive” instead of “addicting”. It’s frightening how social media and content is changing language. I am seeing incorrect words replacing the actual word that means what a subject is trying to describe. Conversate; addicting; comfortability….. it’s maddening and frustrating.
@@BarnabyTheEpicDoggo lol. Yes it’s certainly smart to create another word for a word that already exists but people just are too lazy and stupid to get it right. Also the point of language is to be understood. To communicate. The other person needs to understand you. Ofcourse language changes, thanks for pointing that obvious fact out to people. Nobody said it didn’t.

@@PoppyPancake I do wonder, why does the person who is losing the argument on Yt always has their comment removed? Is this Yt doing due to downvoting, or their frail egos and too much free time?
I'm glad more people are coming to their senses about this. For ages I was seeing people say that online kids content is no different than what TV had, or that "this is just what this generation is like." I work at a photo studio, the type that takes family photos, graduation photos, things like that, and I have had countless iPad kids that come in and would throw tantrums if they were separated from their iPads. I saw kids that were entirely nonverbal, just locked into their phones and tablets. I've seen kids who hadn't reached the age they could walk glued to their iPads with colorful plastic cases. I've seen parents trying to get their kid to smile for photos by saying they'll get their tablet back, they'll get to watch all their shows, as if having their tablet is the default and social interation is second to that. I had a coworker say he saw a family having to lead their kid down a hallway by holding a tablet in front of the kid. Seeing children like this is a nearly everyday thing for me.
i was born in january 2011, most of my classmates were born in mid-late 2010.. im one of the youngest. Luckily it seems like im not being lumped in w/ skibidi toilet kids because most of us are approaching the age of 14
The idea of imposing lines and angles over ones face to measure how attractive you are is so toxic. You cant determine beaurty with fucking trigonometry.

When it's done like I said, gimme 3 mins. I get off the screen, and I play uno with my mom

I’m 15. It’s happening here in Japan too. My dad said people’s IQs are getting lower due to dysgenics (soft society allowing anyone and everyone to reproduce and absorb resources). I decided I didn’t want to be seen as dumb anymore, my entire family is very smart so I have dedicated myself to self development and teaching myself things like philosophy and reading more while maintaining high grades. Now I actually understand what I’m learning at school and why I’m doing rather than just studying for the sake of it. It helps to have a sister that has a philosophy and physics degree; she, and my brothers taught me most of what I know about science and philosophy and I made friends outside of school who are scientifically inclined as well as discussing science with my half sister. I don’t suffer from black and white thinking as much as I used to and I am more open to the opinions of other people.
You brought up a few good points, but I'd like to focus on the topic of Philosophy. I've been saying for years that it needs to be brought back into our schools curriculums, and I don't mean just in high school. If kids learned all about logical reasoning and ethics at a young age, what a different world we would have.
The fact that you realised this yourself is already a sign of high intelligence. What personally scares me, though, is that no matter how much we can study and improve ourselves, if society does keep devolving, stupid people will drag everyone else down. We can already see this in politics, people vote for whomever can give them the easiest of solutions, even if such solutions are often just empty words.
You will be part of the ruling class, while also being terrorized by the brainrot zombies. The black and white thinking part is true. We used to teach media literacy and critical thinking in schools, but now they stopped teaching it, and kids are becoming unable to talk about subjects with any nuance. It's getting bad online, and it didn't used to be this way. Black and white thinking leads to zealots and violence.
I'm 15 and in the UK. It's very similar here. Many people my age used to have unique personalities and did well academically. After brainrot their grades began to drop and they have all begun to loose their uniqueness in the personalities. Attention spans have dropped concerningly quickly. Me and my closest friends seperate ourselves from the others, as we don't want to be associated with them and their behaviour.

What scares me more than the brain rot content is the fact that so many parents give their children unrestricted access to the internet. There wouldn't be any of this if there wasn't a demand.
I work at a school, parents nowadays don't pay attention at all. They've just stopped actually interacting with their kids in parental and educational ways.
They literally give kids ipads to distract them even when they're less than 2 years old. Society is doomed
Many working class families don't have a choice; they work long, underpaid shifts and as a result are way too tired to give children the attention they need to properly develop when they're home.
@@epicgamerjamerthen they shouldn’t be buying 5 year olds iPhones and iPads. If the parents are so busy they can’t interact with the child, giving them unfettered access to the internet is the laziest thing you can do as a parent. There are plenty of products for kids that have educational value and are entertaining, such as LeapFrog.
Um wtf are you on about 😂 they had time 10-20 years ago they have time now FK the iPads give them Lego or hot wheels dolls lol @@epicgamerjamer

Thank you for this video so I can share it with Grandma.
The problem isn't even all of these memes and shitposts as content, we had that as millenials as well. The problem is the very early age access to the internet granted by the parents.
That's my thought. I teach high school and say it isn't so much exposure to stupid shitposting that's a problem--I'm not going to pretend mid-00s memes were high brow--but it's the constant exposure to maximal stimulation of online environments.
Right--and then the parents fail to monitor, check in on, or attempt to understand what their kids are actually doing online, which means that the weird, stupid, traumatic, and harmful stuff never gets talked about or properly contextualized.
When I was young, my parents were very quick to curb-stomp the dumb jokes and comments I'd picked up from TV, the Internet, or other people. Even when I inwardly rolled my eyes and dismissed my parents as old and out-of-touch, at least the pushback signaled what was and wasn't going to fly. I'm not sure adults are necessarily providing that vital service as much as it's actually needed in today's world.
Yep, It's just bad parenting, and then for adults, bad self control. Most things are OK in moderation.
what happens to a kid when they never have internet access growing up until they turn 18?
the memes are also sexist too aswell like girls vs boys
"but its funny-"

Today at work I met a family with a 1 year old girl who was VERY restless and cranky. The mom took her out of the stroller and gave her attention. Didn't help. They gave her a pacifier. Helped for about 10 seconds. Her dad and 4yo brother tried playing peekaboo with her. Did absolutely nothing. Then the mom pulled out Cocomelon. When I tell you this little girl INSTANTLY settled, started smiling, and became completely fixated on the screen as if nothing else existed. It was eerie to say the least. Of course when the parents took the phone back, she began fussing and crying again. I asked them how much she watched it, and they said "not a ton. But it helps when we're busy or in the kitchen."
It makes me wonder.

Its not just kids. Im 22 right now and one of my friends has a completely eroded level of patience. I can rarely send him long fotm videos unless its something hes already interested in. I dont think the slang is something terrible, every generation makes their own unique language. The issue is unrestricted internet access from a young age. Its always had the same effect its just now people notice it more because millenials and some gen z were starting to have kids and the internet became something you cant live without. Younger generations having kids is important in this because they are the ones who are more relaxed in regards to internet access compared to those in the gen x and boomer generations who grew up and mostly lived without the internet up until the last 10 to 20 years of their lives.

Currently thinking abt deleting instagram too because I open reels far too often. I don’t have a lot of time, but any free time that I have becomes reels time far too often…
I loved to watch cat and science tiktoks for one or two hours from time to time, until TikTok changed the algorithm and I then I would just get dumb "brain rot" like content suggested.
TikTok, YT, gaming, tv and such are kinda ok if you limit your watch/play time and if you pick good content... And if you also go out and touch the grass often XD
No social media for years now, it's a peaceful life.
I don't know what 'reels' means, but if it helps I like to say that I neved looked at tiktok, don't have twitter, facebook (had one when younger), instagram or any other social media out there, except for RUclips if you think that's social media. Speak well, skill up - social media does nothing for you.
@@pickandlick7158 It's just Instagram's short form video answer to TikTok, pretty much the same thing as RUclips's shorts.
@@pickandlick7158 absolutely true. Reels are short videos on instagram. They are less addictive that tiktoks in my opinion, but is the same concept that instagram stole from tiktok.
Don't forget the "older" kids. The old people who "are new" to the internet and hooked on their cellphones, with "easy 1 click news and information" and literally "see" the world via the news source real or fabricated.
And they dont know when news is fake or not. They can't identify pop up ads or any other trash that younger people can spot instantly.
I agree. My parents are totally brainwashed from this.
@@richerDiLefto facts lol
Even worst, they've transition from their old cellphones with 1 click to brick phones with many clicks. The convenience of getting news and information is magnified several folds!
better than when we only had our state owned news lol
LOL was walking home from afternoon Sport group of kids walked up to me spoken brain rot. I didn’t understand a word they said.💀💀💀
I teach ELA for high school, and the number of students who are literally addicted to their phones is sickening. This year, I'm doing a unit where they tell me a topic that they found online, and we will research it with reliable sources. I'm hoping to inspire at least ONE student to actually look further than TT or IG for their news.
as a spanish person, all of my classmates are addicted to tiktok (not me tho) and yes, they watch skibidi toilet and have low attention spans
And also, as a plus, their grades are terrible. I'm talking about being happy with a 2-3/10 and my goofy ass is being noticed for actually trying to get good grades. Heck, even the music teacher is like "these kids are fucking stupid"
Im addicted to my phone,but that's cuz I play cookie clicker 💀 takes like 25 hours of my time per week(dw when I go watch RUclips I just watch Minecraft and documentary vids)
My problem with this situation is that people think that it's those kids or their parents are to blame. It's systematic issue. It should be solved on governmental level.
You seem like the kind of person that could find the silver lining in many difficult situations.
for my generation (born in 1983, i am late Gen-X)
it was TV and cinema, so slower than internet.... Bill & Ted showed us:
"ABCDE !!" = "Always be cheating, dude! Excellent!!"
I hate that in journalism it´s always the "screentime" that causes problems, but in reality i think it´s what kids actually look at and it really throws off how the parent´s views of the internet because they have slim ideas of what children consume. There is a lot of content that boosts the development of children and encourages creativity, parents just need to put in the effort to find valuable internet material.
I can somewhat agree with that. The problem is as children are exposed to more and more screen time and start to become more independent, and eventually learn to operate it on their own, it's far to easy to fall down a rabbit hole of straight trash that rots ur brain. And I think the leap from positive learning and development online to some of these topics is happening younger and younger.
We guided our kiddo towards more educational content. He watched some brain-rotty content, but we changed the video if it was a concerning one. Happened a few times, and we would also voice our concerns over why that situation portrayed was problematic.
I remember getting internet for the first time in my home. I also knew I knew a lot more than my parents (and my brothers) about computer programming. I also know how easy it was to access things we ''shouldn't ''
Heck, even without internet, getting around my mom's horror movie ban was as easy as going to a friend's house. Not to touch on the number of mature games we were able to rent.
Kids will find a way, and we all had our own brain-rot to contend with. I don't have to watch every shrieking youtuber my kid watched now, but I do watch drama channels, and he had a few names come up in them over the years. He barely remembers either of them now.
As for getting too much screen time, I'm shocked at how often he puts his electronics down to go outside and play. He's not athletic, at least, not a runner, but he does love to observe his environment and play with the neighbor kids when they're out.
We've let him watch standard RUclips since he was 5, though. Found better educational channels there, plus the same channels from RUclips kids. He doesn't interact with comments yet, but doesn't have a phone plan either, so texting isn't his focus right now. That'll be a beast we tackle when he's more confident there. I keep reminding him people can be the real monsters for a reason.
Knowing the tool you hand a kid helps prevent issues. Even with nerf guns, we encouraged him to treat it like a real gun. We don't have guns, and don't shoot, but it's America. I can't know he'd never encounter one. I want to know I at least told him not to point it at himself or others, and always treat them like they are loaded when you know they aren't. If he gets snippy, I know where to find the videos that detail what happens when you don't.
Parenting isn't easy, and if it seems that way, you're probably doing something wrong. I wouldn't call our monitoring easy. It tends to be migraine inducing from the shrieking, and it's exhausting keeping up with all the fetishes to watch out for....but I'll be watching that video again and again today. And tomorrow. And every day until he finds a new fixation. At least he likes cute animals, too, so we get a break XD
@@trashcatlinol Thank you for sharing your experience! It's great to hear from a parent´s view and I appreciate your approach to guiding your child online.
I can imagine parenting takes a lot of vigor, so it´s nice to hear your child is being very responsible; this will help in life!
I literally spend at least 5 hours a day on PC and I have no idea what half of these words mean and I don't have a clue who any of these brain rot content creators are
I think parents just don't bother trying to begin with, or "don't have the time" to help their kids find productive content or hobbies. It's a shame.
There is so much interesting educational content for kids out there, and also practically anything other than expensive hobbies is better than doomscrolling TT, and watching nonsensical brainrot that provides no value.
Maybe don't give your kids smart devices at 3 years old. Instead spend time with them and play with them. Do what bluey dose.
play*

You forgot to add a period at the end of "dose".
Smart devices are the cheapest babysitters for loser parents that don't want anything to do with their children.

I didn't said that trying to improve yourself is bad, but I do find it a bit concerning that literal kids are being influenced by resentful women hating basement dwellers, and while working out and eating more healthy is good, I wouldn't be happy about kids getting obsessed with their jaws or their eyes having to look a super specific way even if it requires plastic surgery to achieve.

Brain rot
There was always videos like this
3:39 the reason why I did so poor in my second and last year of middle school was because I was addicted to social media, specifically tiktok. It was like a need to watch videos for my entertainment and losing interest in completing stuff like homework. Honestly, coming from someone who has gotten their phone at the age of 11, no one under the age of 16 should have a phone. Unless they have limitations, like, no social media or a certain time limit on the device so they can get things done.
Yep I agree with you because I did the same thing back then
This really scares me. I've never met someone my age (teenage) who does not say something brain rot. There is no normal children with functional braincells left.
Then you probably are not around the right people. 85% of everyone in my classes are completely normal kids, and most of my friends are pretty smart. If you go online, there are certainly teenage kids who are perfectly normal, and if you search hard enough in your school, you can probably find normal kids.
My knee jerk hypothesis is the kids at risk are very poor or extremely rich.
There was a part at the start of this video "screen time for children under the age of 1"... those parents need to have their kids removed. No screen time under the age of 5
That happened to my best friend
Reading classic novels might help overcome some of the cognitive deficits.
I think the act of reading books helps keep the mind sharp.
reminds me of my mom telling me tv will rot your brain I should really apologize for all the eye rolls
Dud it?
Tv won't people watch cartoons back in the day said it would have a bad influence on them they turned out fine each gen hates the next like it was gen z and the other one
I’m 12 years old and my friends say this at first I thought they were just joking but when I looked this up I was kinda confused why people do this.Then after the putting the pieces together then I realized this is a problem. I just want brain rot to stop so I don’t have to hear this over and over
I understand what you mean. As a kid you should just get off social media and just have real life hobbies. So you don’t end up like other kids in your generation. Try encouraging your siblings or friends to go outside and do activities that don’t include smart screens. I’m glad you’re aware of the problem though that’s a start.
I have a advice for you focus on your hobbies and limt most of your time on your phone and social media exposure read books draw play sports and eat good so u grow
no 12 year old should have unbridled access to the internet and be able to post and see content at their own free will. your parents completely failed you.
Seconding what everyone said above me. Please stay off of the net when you can. Focus on yourself and your hobbies.
But that's easier said than done. I understand how worse off the world is for kids nowadays. There are no parks and malls, it's too hot outside, the libraries are closing, no walkable destinations, etc. Adults and past generations have failed us. I was lucky to be born during the last years of when it was actually viable to play outside with friends.
The best thing you can do is create a safe bubble for you and your friends. Adults have failed you, so it's up to you and your peers to protect each other. Organize a club, keep in touch, and hang out with your friends in person. I wish I could do more to help.
Take some time off of online comrade
A kid like you needs to focus on hobbies (or join the army when you turn 18) in wherever you are from
this is why in some countrys, apps like tiktok and Instagram are banned.
This is so annoying. I cant imagine what will this kids look like when they grow up
Welp...not only brainrot exists but there is also IRL streamers like Jack Doherty, Sneako, N3ON, baby gronk with only fans models

Yeah that's the best course of action we can do, learn from the mistakes of the previous generations.
Brainrot has the right to exist, but we have the right to not allow our children to access it until they're of age and teach them moderation
Gen alpha were either young or were born when people on the internet really began to use it for just money, and not any ounce of fun. I managed to slightly dodge that by being born in 2007
lmao y'all blaming the internet but it's really just shitty parenting
the internet will always be a dark place and people will also always want fast money, at the end of the day the only effective preventative measure is for PARENTS to be aware of this and take action - not giving access to screens
The truth is that not only gen alpha engages in this brainrot stuff... it's very often gen z as well
You say this, but gen Z / Gen A isn't any more tech savvy than previous generations, and I'd argue in some cases worse. UIs and devices in general have gotten so easy to use that kids never learn how to troubleshoot, and shut down in a manner not unlike my elderly mother whenever they're confronted by something unexpected.
They've been lobotomized via UI design and ease of use.

Slang like "rizz" isn't evidence of brain rot. Every generation has produced its own over-used slang, some more than others, as anyone who remembers the 1960s can confirm. Some of the slang got old fast and disappeared, some became a permanent part of the language. Looksmaxxing sounds totally disturbing, though. If you really want to improve yourself, read some books, volunteer at a soup kitchen, learn a new language, or learn to play a musical instrument.
Its brain rot.

Ironic pfp
i honestly thought i was the only one who noticed. Thats exactly why i deleated tick tock
@@tPest518reading your comment gave me brain rot
I don't think conflating the language with the actual problems caused by brainrot content is very accurate. Kids have created slang and expanded on the way language is used for almost as long as language has been around. The brainrot content is driving the over usage of new slang and further pushing it out of context to the point that even the kids using the words and phrases may not understand the meaning. Thus, brainrot.
Also he brushes off older slang as if millennial kids werent saying words like deadass, sup, shizzle my nizzle, jiggy,phat, word, diss, rawr.
It also conflates ironic internet slag with like actual sincere slang. If we're gunna throw in internet slang and memes we can include 1337, roflcopter, el1te, trollface, doggo, habeeb it, and a lot a lot of stupid memes(gen z and beyond didnt invent random irreverent humor)
absolutely, this is basically how language evolve, only inside fast pased internet communities language/meme words/idoms are more virulent and mutate faster, hence we lost touch with such people faster...also people inside such communities or with such "life style" are losing touch with outside world, which results in worse scores in "outside world" metrics...not saying that isolating yourself leads to some overall net good, but its not brainrot; those kids are probably virtuose in some areas, where we would seem demented and vice versa
actually, this is the era where slang is devolving 💀 it’s actual straight up rotting the brains of not only young minds, but even brainwashing adults into thinking it’s funny to say brainrotted gen alpha phrases when it isn’t funny at all. It was never this bad in previous generations.
I swear, gen alpha language is the Newspeak of Today, because I can't even understand a single complete sentence spoken in brainrot. I'm gen z.

I always say cartoons on TV were less bad. At least they were longer videos with slow moving characters and a story. You used to know what kids are watching, and if you watch with them, instead of being on your phone, it was a shared experience/memory for the kids.

As a gen alpha kid, (13 years old), I want to give a perspective about this alarming issue. It is undeniably a tradgedy, and I completely agree with what everyone on the internet is saying about my generation. But I want to speak out about this issue, whenever I say to a older kid that I am born in that generation, I will immediately be made fun of because of other people in my generation who can't take topics seriously and spit out the most absurd amount of brainrot every conversation. The brainrot content has influenced my generation a lot, but some of us remain unaffected. For instance, I didn't know about all this brainrot content until I started middle school last year. I am now going into the eighth grade, and do not want to be associated with these type of children who are too immature to even have a basic conversation with. Overall, I just wanted to say that not all of the Gen Alpha kids are doomed and some of us don't associate with the brainrot side of RUclips.
Just like me.

I am so grateful that I grew up before the Internet where you played outside and talked with friends face to face and the only "screen time" was Saturday morning cartoons and a few "must watch" shows right after school.
Oh spare us that myth, dude.
We were certainly cited for our TV viewing habits. That is why we had terms like "couch potato", and watched something called the "idiot box" and "boob tube". The cartoons we watched were thought to be making us too violent, and were just there to sell us toys and get us to ask for cereal full of sugar.
Not to mention our video game usage had parents pitching a fit and thinking that the Atari 2600 was rotting our minds.
@@WillmobilePlus Call it a myth if it makes you feel better, but kids did not consume as much brainless entertainment as they do now and it affects them differently than it did my generation without the Internet and influences and weekly trends.
We aren't talking about misunderstood perception (i.e. "TV rots your brain.") Some of our parents were couch potatoes, but not us for the most part. We played outside, talked with friends in person, started learning and gaining social skills by the time we were four years old because the shows that entertained us most were all positive educational, and as we got older, we didn't absorb said media into our real lives except in pretend. The little girl takes her Mom's makeup brush and a mirror and pretends she is putting on makeup to make her look pretty. Now they _have_ to do it in real life to not feel left out, all because of the Internet that.
As for video games... that was always a poorly designed argument because they wanted to lump every kid into one group and then say video games caused all of the bad things to happen so all kids need to stay away, This is not true, of course, but it doesn't mean _some_ kids weren't affected by the games that they played (and acted poorly as a result), just like kids with social media are being affected now differently than their parents generally do.
You become what you consume, be it in real life or online, and we already know that online life isn't healthy for us.

exactly? what child has the self control or self awareness to understand?
Exactly the kids will not cry for days@@DanielBjorndahl
@@DanielBjorndahl It's really just sad. I wish the best for them, but cannot help but expect the worst. I even feel bad for the parents, given how difficult it is to raise a child in today's world.
“If you don’t raise your children the TV will.”
In this case the internet
The internet is practically the new parents
Internet be like: "Heya there... mother? NOT ANYMORE SUCKER!!!" and then pursues to control that child's life.
I thought TV was bad now a days kids don’t have the attention span to watch a good film. I’m actually recommending watching good movies to my little brother since he just can’t get into a book.
dude if you havent watched elmo i dont trust you

Short attention spans and brain rot are destroying our youth
No well I'm probably the last one the brainrot is still hunting me down im
A short attention span is the beginning of brain rot
It's those _damn phones..._ *smh my head*
TBH its the bad parents letting their kids watch the brain rot which is giving them the short attention spans, that is destroying the youth.
What you are saying is like saying drugs exist and are therefore destroying people. It's very simple, just don't take the drugs to begin with.
It isn’t only youth. My mom installed TikTok back in late 2021, and when I tell you that her attention span is COMPLETELY demolished, I mean it. She goes almost every hour of the day on her phone, and she’s usually on TikTok or RUclips or something.
As a 13 year old who would be more fit being grouped with Millennials, I'm kinda scared of this Brave New World...
We have invented our own happiness pill, and mixed it with equal parts arsenic and bleach powder.
Bro don't join them I'm an gen alpha too and I am 14 and I am genuinely disgust how other generations spit on us treating us like brainrot shit and expect us to remember thing that we've never seen like 1000 yard stare m-f in didn't even seen this in school sometime they have to understand their error because it is because of them
Happiness is something to discover. The music you hear, the sunset you bask in, or the smile you stare at. We cannot pinpoint its source, specifically. And it doesn't matter what generation you belong to, I just hope you discover that happiness for yourself one day.

The fact that you just referenced Brave New World , lets me know you’re set apart from the crowd . Good to see the goal to make what I’ve coined “the perfect New World Order baby “ hasn’t been successful on 100% of the population. Pretty close , but still ❤
We happy few...
I don't blame content creators for wanting to make money, I don't blame the children getting sucked in. I blame the parents for using the internet as a babysitter.
Yeah but then you factor in that a lot of them probably work 2 or 3 jobs to keep their family fed with inflation and the financial crisis going on and... I think the real root of the problem is that we live in a world that seems so hopeless and shit that we have to work our asses off and then numb ourselves with addictive bs like social media in the little free time we have to not go insane
Naw ... Just because you create content and want to make money doesn't negate your moral obligation imo.
If you make this crap content you're a crap person.
And yep the parents are responsible to some degree but they can't completely prevent kids today from being exposed to what's out there.
The only ones who aren't responsible are the kids.
Yes, you should blame them… so many are aware that this content harms children, yet they’re self-centred enough to make a quick buck rather than produce something good for society even if it’s at the expense of public health.
The home isn’t the only place of socialisation. My parents were very strict on my device usage and yet I was still exposed to disturbing things online because of people I knew from school. I have relatives who are the same yet parrot brain rot… you’d have to completely isolate your child and homeschool them by your optimistic logic.
@@pettykittyfam when you’re hungry, really hungry, morals are not a consideration.
All because they want them to shut up instead of actually parenting
13:30 the funniest thing about Kareem Shami is that looking better at age 22 than you did at 17... is the most normal experience ever. lmao how is that an achievement
This is actually terrifying
As a communication and word nerd, Thankyou from the bottom of my heart for using the word “addictive” instead of “addicting”. It’s frightening how social media and content is changing language. I am seeing incorrect words replacing the actual word that means what a subject is trying to describe. Conversate; addicting; comfortability….. it’s maddening and frustrating.
Language changes get over it
@@BarnabyTheEpicDoggo lol. Yes it’s certainly smart to create another word for a word that already exists but people just are too lazy and stupid to get it right.
Also the point of language is to be understood. To communicate. The other person needs to understand you. Ofcourse language changes, thanks for pointing that obvious fact out to people. Nobody said it didn’t.
@@Milo-u4o that’s not what I said or think at all. Perhaps you should get over it.
thx
@@merciajean6959Dude, there's, like, 15 different words for sadness, what are you talking about.
The internet is both a blessing and a curse.
Indeed. We need to make sure we are using this tool wisely and not addictively.
that's a powerful big smoke energy, "Same things that make us laugh, make us cry"
i will just call for some regulation and some guardrails
Its is because of this video i have decided to never go on RUclips shorts ever again in my life and when or if i have a kid they wont have a phone or i pad till they are 10
As a low income poor individual I'm offended how kids have online shopping addiction and teen spending thousands for weekly aesthetics

@@PoppyPancake I do wonder, why does the person who is losing the argument on Yt always has their comment removed? Is this Yt doing due to downvoting, or their frail egos and too much free time?
I'm glad more people are coming to their senses about this. For ages I was seeing people say that online kids content is no different than what TV had, or that "this is just what this generation is like." I work at a photo studio, the type that takes family photos, graduation photos, things like that, and I have had countless iPad kids that come in and would throw tantrums if they were separated from their iPads. I saw kids that were entirely nonverbal, just locked into their phones and tablets. I've seen kids who hadn't reached the age they could walk glued to their iPads with colorful plastic cases. I've seen parents trying to get their kid to smile for photos by saying they'll get their tablet back, they'll get to watch all their shows, as if having their tablet is the default and social interation is second to that. I had a coworker say he saw a family having to lead their kid down a hallway by holding a tablet in front of the kid. Seeing children like this is a nearly everyday thing for me.
bro i hate being a Gen Alpha- ppl just expect me to be obsessed with skibidi toilet and all that shit💀😭
phew I was gen z but we need to stop this thing somehow😅
i know 😭 i was born in 2013 so im gen alpha but i hate skibidi toilet
@@sseungberry youre like ten years old that is crazy
i was born in january 2011, most of my classmates were born in mid-late 2010.. im one of the youngest. Luckily it seems like im not being lumped in w/ skibidi toilet kids because most of us are approaching the age of 14

We can blame the Internet as guilty - but we should ask ourselves as a parents - are we without guilt?

You actually can. Try with symmetry
You can. Humanity is a surprisingly primitive species in regards to that.
I'm a gen alpha, and when my mom says, "hey wanna play uno with me?" if I'm watching a video, depending on how much longer the video is, if it's like 3 minutes more longer, I'll tell my mom "Gimme 3 mins, I'mma finish watching this video." When it's done like I said, gimme 3 mins. I get off the screen, and I play uno with my mom
Good for you ❤

That's good 😊

I over heard a conversation the went something like

"Usually I left him watch cartoon on YT on my phone, he don't bother me much" - she's add.
That's messed up. Damn
@@SkemeKOSMalaysia's gen alpha speak with Indonesian accent before they can even speak malay dialect. I rather pickup English than the rebrand malay language.
I’m 15. It’s happening here in Japan too. My dad said people’s IQs are getting lower due to dysgenics (soft society allowing anyone and everyone to reproduce and absorb resources). I decided I didn’t want to be seen as dumb anymore, my entire family is very smart so I have dedicated myself to self development and teaching myself things like philosophy and reading more while maintaining high grades.
Now I actually understand what I’m learning at school and why I’m doing rather than just studying for the sake of it. It helps to have a sister that has a philosophy and physics degree; she, and my brothers taught me most of what I know about science and philosophy and I made friends outside of school who are scientifically inclined as well as discussing science with my half sister. I don’t suffer from black and white thinking as much as I used to and I am more open to the opinions of other people.
stay on this way, it is the right one!
You brought up a few good points, but I'd like to focus on the topic of Philosophy. I've been saying for years that it needs to be brought back into our schools curriculums, and I don't mean just in high school. If kids learned all about logical reasoning and ethics at a young age, what a different world we would have.
The fact that you realised this yourself is already a sign of high intelligence. What personally scares me, though, is that no matter how much we can study and improve ourselves, if society does keep devolving, stupid people will drag everyone else down. We can already see this in politics, people vote for whomever can give them the easiest of solutions, even if such solutions are often just empty words.
You will be part of the ruling class, while also being terrorized by the brainrot zombies. The black and white thinking part is true. We used to teach media literacy and critical thinking in schools, but now they stopped teaching it, and kids are becoming unable to talk about subjects with any nuance. It's getting bad online, and it didn't used to be this way. Black and white thinking leads to zealots and violence.
I'm 15 and in the UK. It's very similar here. Many people my age used to have unique personalities and did well academically. After brainrot their grades began to drop and they have all begun to loose their uniqueness in the personalities. Attention spans have dropped concerningly quickly. Me and my closest friends seperate ourselves from the others, as we don't want to be associated with them and their behaviour.
"One year old with 4 hours of screen time" brother wtf
