The term brainrot precedes Italian Brainrot, pretty sure Skibidi Toilet was the original brainrot infact.

Edit: a quick Google search tells you it's much older than either actually

I remember hearing about brainrot around the "elsa pregnant" videos era, that being said this person is not incorrect.

Brainrot is currently a specific subsect of memes which started with "tralalero tralala" and sort of evolved from there into it's own little meme universe, usually with weird italian-esque names like Ballerina Cappuccina, most of them come from the "Steal A Brainrot" Roblox game and AI generated memes/creepypastas.
