What is Italian brainrot?
What’s the deal here?
Great question. “Italian brainrot” is a new meme that’s all over TikTok and other social media. In brief, people are using AI programs to generate images of animal mashups, like a zebra fused with a watermelon. Then, they’re naming their new creations with vaguely “Italian” sounding monikers. Why? Well, why does any meme start? It’s fun!
How did Italian brainrot get started?
As with any weird meme, it’s kind of hard to say. What we do know is that it became popular around January 2025, when TikTok user @eZburger401 made a video of Tralalero Tralala (a shark with sneakers) and uploaded it with a text-to-speech song. Since then, other users began generating their own brainrot animals, and the rest is internet history.
What is brainrot, anyway?
“Brainrot” is a newish slang word that refers to when someone is online so much that their brain turns to slop and they start saying stuff like “chicken jockey” or “sigma rizzler.” These days, it refers to almost any nonsensical, absurdist meme.
What is an example of brainrot?
This quiz.
Is brainrot a real issue? Kind of, but not really. Generally, it’s a goofy joke about being online too much and how that negatively affects your brain. So no, the minds of the youth aren’t melting and dripping out of their mouths from looking at their screens too much. That said, studies have shown that too much phone time can negatively affect your mental health, social behaviors, and attention spans, so there are some real concerns.
