Still Water became a topic of ironic memes on TikTok in 2024, after a series of viral urban exploration videos popularized the term on the platform. Still water or stagnant water is water that has been left sitting for long periods of time, promoting the growth of biofilm, bacteria, and fungi, making it dangerous to drink or swim in. In 2024, a series of viral TikToks exaggerated the danger still water poses and parodied the "abandoned building exploration" style content that popularised the term. Memes about "still water" are often paired with other brain rot phrases like Balkan Rage, noradrenaline, and those who know.
