Brainrot Score: 6.4OBSERVED
[ SLANG ][ CREATOR_TOOLS ][ NOUN ]

A sequence of multiple small hooks stacked one after another through a video's opening, each one re-catching attention right as the previous one would have worn off.

REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE

"Three separate hooks in the first ten seconds, that's a real hook cascade, no room to get bored."

LORE & ORIGIN

Extends 'hook layer' into a repeated, chained structure, borrowing 'cascade' from the same systems-language pattern used elsewhere in this dictionary.
