The Term "Bed Rot" Is A Thing Now, Because Our Culture Is Obsessed With Laziness And Gluttony
A new aesthetic is emerging on TikTok, and this one involves staying in bed all day and vegging out instead of facing the world.
By now, you've heard of the 2022 word of the year: goblin mode. The term originated from internet culture that encourages self-indulgence and carefree living. It's about living life by your own rules and rejecting the societal norms of beauty and productivity. The trend became popular on platforms like Twitter, TikTok, and Tumblr, where users have shared their humorous interpretations and examples of living in sloth and/or excess. Influencers will use goblin mode to refer to their lifestyle of staying out all night at the club and then sleeping in until 2 p.m., only to wake up to drink more wine and order pizza so they can binge on Netflix for the rest of the day. The term was also used to refer to people eating heavily processed foods all day long instead of cooking at home and nourishing their body.
