FORCE: Gen Z BrainrotUNIVERSE: Gen Z Slang
The predictable, self-referential format a comment section falls into for a certain kind of post — the same joke structure, copypasta, or running bit repeated by dozens of separate commenters.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"Every cooking video's comment meta right now is someone pretending to be the ingredient."
LORE & ORIGIN
Borrowed 'meta' from gaming (the dominant strategy everyone converges on) and applied it to comment-section behavior once creators noticed certain post types reliably produced the same comment format every time.
