Brain Drain

Inspired by: MTV’s Liquid Television (1980s)

Medium: AI-generated nostalgia overdose

Back when MTV still played music and “Liquid Television” was melting minds in the best way, this is what your mom meant when she said, “Too much TV will rot your brain.”

In this dystopian Saturday morning cartoon of a scene, our headless viewer sits—probably still wondering if Beavis ever found meaning. The TV? It’s done its job. Brain? Fully extracted. Mission: accomplished.

Fun Fact:

The phrase “TV rots your brain” wasn’t just suburban panic—it’s been loosely backed by research. Excessive screen time can mess with attention, cognition, and even empathy.

Bonus trivia:

MTV’s Liquid Television helped launch Æon Flux and Beavis and Butt-Head. Safe to say, it shaped a generation… or at least liquefied their frontal lobes.
