[Your Name/Institution] Date: [Current Date] Abstract The rise of short-form video has fundamentally altered popular media consumption, production, and distribution. This paper examines the strategic approach of Rottenman Entertainment —a digital-native studio known for aggressive, meme-driven, and often transgressive short clips—and its impact on contemporary popular media. Through a content analysis of Rottenman’s most circulated clips (2022–2025) and comparison with traditional media models, we argue that Rottenman employs a “decay aesthetics” framework: rapid irreverence, remix culture, and algorithmic feedback loops. Findings suggest that while Rottenman’s clips drive engagement and shape online vernacular, they also accelerate content saturation and challenge traditional notions of authorship, quality, and narrative coherence in popular media.
