What Does "Brain Rot" Actually Mean?

Before you start pointing fingers at your cousin who watches conspiracy videos all day, let’s break it down. “Brain Rot” isn’t an actual medical diagnosis, it’s more of a cultural term used to describe mental fatigue caused by things like:

Excessive screen time
Social media overload
Short attention spans
Constant digital stimulation
