A brainrot arc is the narrative descent — tracked by followers, friends, or the algorithm itself — of a person going from normal human to fully internet-corrupted content creature. Like a character arc in a show, it has a beginning (first weird post), escalation (increasing chaos), and a peak (complete detachment from normal discourse). Brainrot arcs are documented in real time on social media, often celebrated as lore. Sometimes people reverse course; more often they don't.
His brainrot arc started with one Italian Brainrot repost and six weeks later he only posts frog memes — the descent was documented.
