Cocomelon Is Ruining Gen Alpha

[@chickynuggy1574]

Cocomelon’s main target is to shorten the attention span, which explains the addiction as well as tantrums. It’s scary n crazy because even as an adult, feeling overstimulating feels so intense and overwhelming, I can’t imagine how badly it defects a young brain!

[@Wack-o]

I agree, I absolutely despise Cocomelon. Sometimes, I'll go out to eat, and a little kid will have an iPad out, and be playing Cocomelon on it, and nobody tells the kid to turn down the volume. It's not even the kids fault, I just wish the parents of these children would monitor these children a little better. (Preferably, a lot.)

I have ADD, and I can typically pull up a KZbin video and do something else like drawing or knitting, but when it comes to these kid's shows (I have two nieces under the age of 5), I can't do anything other than watch them. It's scary even to adults.

[@ChaosGamer123]

I may be just a random high schooler but…Savantics made a video on this a while back. The summary of why it does this shit is a combination of the fast pacing of the shots, the overstimulation (such as the movement of objects and events) in said shots, the rhythm of the music, and the absurdly oversaturared and vibrant colors that draws children. Once they receive that much stimulation, it’s like a drug, they want more. It’s like going into a bar, getting a Sam Adams for your first time, and wanting more, and you throw a fit (metaphorically) because you didn’t get more. The kids take in the stimulation and it’s like a drug to them, and they don’t realize it, it’s like being sober for 6 months, you’re completely fine, but you see your buddy drinking a Sam Adams, and it’s right back to how it was before, because your brain remembers and now craves the stimulant. It is literally, I hate to say this but, “Baby’s First Bottle” or “Baby’s First Smoke”.

[@Justamanrandomlybrowsin.]

Yo I saw that video and honestly it was so insanely well researched, more potential parents need to see that video before they have kids, the more we spread the awareness the better chance we have of freeing the next generation from Cocomelon addiction

Savantics made a pretty solid analysis video on cocomelon and turns out it's overstimulating because of very quick camera shots. like the shots in cocomelon's baby shark are as fast as in a fight scene in Arcane. this causes children to be constantly overstimulated and when cocomelon is off, everything is too slow for them, hence throwing tantrums and turning into a zombie once it's back on i recommend watching their whole video tho, my comment is just a long-story-short of it

[@Potato_VR_123]

It is said that the reason the little kids would be transported into a trans like state when watching cocomelon, is because cocomelon apparently would have young kids watch an episode, and have people in the back doing stuff kids parents would do, and whenever the kid would look away, they would take that part of the episode, and change it, untill the kid would watch the episode without ever looking away.

i remember someone making a tik tok explaining why its so bad for kids. You mention the bright ass colours and that's a part of it. Higher saturation means more bright lights for children to try process. Another thing to note is the quick rate of how they go from one scene to another. They are constantly changing camera angle and at a much much higher rate than normal kid shows. The reason they act this way is because it is literally overwhelming kids brains with all the bright colours and noise so they have trouble processing it. It's not pre brain rot its the ORIGINAL brain rot. You can point at MLG or other forms of shitposting but annoying orange at least didn't change camera angles multiple times a second.
