Think you're infected with Italian Brainrot? Here's how to tell—and why it's not a bad thing.

Italian Brainrot isn’t just a meme format—it’s a mental state. Here are 10 surefire signs that you’ve gone terminal:

You listen to Eiffel 65 unironically.

You have screenshots of 2006 Italian TV shows saved for “aesthetic reasons.”

You say “ciao bella” to your pets.

You can’t watch a movie without imagining eurobeat playing in the background.

You use Comic Sans in earnest.

You scream “mamma mia” when stubbing your toe.

Your TikTok feed is 70% low-res Eurovision edits.

You daydream in GIF format.

Your wallpaper is a JPEG of a Vespa in Naples.

You found this article by Googling “why do I crave gnocchi at 3am.”

If you nodded along: welcome. You are not alone. Embrace the rot.
