“Goon” is a slang term primarily used in online communities, particularly within meme culture and “brainrot” contexts, to describe a state of intense, often obsessive, focus or engagement with content. It implies a deep, almost trance-like immersion that can be seen as unproductive or even detrimental. The term often carries a humorous or self-deprecating tone, highlighting the addictive nature of certain online trends and the extreme dedication users might exhibit towards them.
