This should be what the zoomers, alphas, etcs show us any time one of the milennials talk about "brain rot" or "skibidi toilet".

"Gramps, why don't you explain why you thought this was high art?"

    YTMND should be enough to instantly disprove that brainrot is a new thing

    An art critics reaction to Skibidi Toilet. It's in German. He works for a serious German newspaper. He explains several influences that helped shape Skibidi Toilet. Either consciously or subconsciously. It is absolutely nothing new. Absurdist humour has very often been part of art. Often just as a protest against contemporary art and the pretentiousness. At the end he decries that Skibidi Toilet has become too predictable and too mainstream and commercial.

    I really love this. It takes it seriously enough but not so seriously to analyse it to death. In short, it takes it as what it is. Without pretending that we or his generation or the generations before him didn't have stupid funny shit.
