White guys saying the N word and being gangsta. There is nothing ever cool about a white guy pretending to be ghetto. Yes I'll include Eminem and I don't care if he's been given the pass.

tbh my grandma considered movies and TV brainrot and my parents don't understand why people watch someone playing a video game on Youtube rather than playing. I think there are legitimate criticisms of Tik Tok and other social media, but this just reads as that simpsons quote:

I used to be with ‘it’, but then they changed what ‘it’ was. Now what I’m with isn’t ‘it’ anymore and what’s ‘it’ seems weird and scary. It’ll happen to you!

I don’t understand why people watch others play video games, but I also don’t understand why people watch people playing sports.

Because playing games costs money

Energy too

life is too exhausting

Sometimes you wannna experience a game but are too tired (or in my case, too depressed) to play it.

As for sports, idk. I don't understand that at all, its been the same sport for such a long time, I'd be bored af, even if I ever had a desire to watch sports. I never understand those people.
