Brainrot is a word that some might use when referring to constantly thinking about a topic, person, place, or thing. It's a spoof word that's relatively close to the definition of a hyperfixation. Both words stand for the same meaning, however, brainrot isn't meant to be taken as literally. There aren't any brains rotting, here!

a term used to describe when you are thinking about something (a show, book, specific character, topic, etc.) so often to the point that it feels like it's rotting your brain. this term can be used in negative contexts, but one common example is using it as an affectionate way to describe a current hyperfixation/interest
