Oxford University Press announced "brain rot" as its 2024 Word of the Year, following a public vote. The term describes the perceived deterioration of mental acuity from excessive consumption of low-quality online content. Its usage surged 230% in 2024, fueled by social media trends and concerns about online culture's impact on mental health. While originally appearing in Thoreau's Walden, its modern usage reflects a self-aware commentary, particularly among Gen Z and Gen Alpha, on the potential downsides of digital engagement. The selection highlights Oxford Languages' ongoing exploration of how evolving online culture shapes language.
