The combination of "Soda Pop" and "brainrot zombies" likely refers to the song "Soda Pop" by the Saja Boys from the 2025 animated film KPop Demon Hunters, in the context of the internet slang term "brainrot".
Here's a breakdown:
"Soda Pop": This refers to the song performed by the fictional KPop boy band the Saja Boys in KPop Demon Hunters. The song, while catchy and seemingly innocent, is designed to lure in listeners so the Saja Boys (who are demons) can consume their souls.
"Brainrot": This internet slang term describes content that's considered low-quality, repetitive, or nonsensical, but highly addictive and potentially detrimental to mental functioning due to excessive consumption, according to Merriam-Webster.
"Brainrot Zombies": This is likely a playful and informal way of referencing the phenomenon of people becoming almost hypnotized or "zombified" by the addictive nature of "brainrot" content, such as catchy songs like "Soda Pop". The term can also refer to the "brain rot" ammo type in Call of Duty: Black Ops Zombies, where it turns a zombie into an ally for a period of time. This might be an additional layer of ironic humor.
In summary, "Soda Pop x Brainrot Zombies" suggests a connection between the captivating (and potentially manipulative) nature of the "Soda Pop" song and the internet phenomenon of "brainrot" leading to an almost zombie-like state of digital absorption.
