Taking into consideration a lot of metaphors and poetic descriptions in Chinese come from like several thousand years worth of literature, there's a lot of crazy shit out there that becomes super freaky if you take it literally

I wonder if future generations will study our memes like we study linguistics and etymology, while wondering on how people used "Skibidi Rizz" in our time.

The "sword-like eyebrows" is actually just "剑眉", just two syllables, which makes more sense, and it's part of the whole "剑眉星目", which is supposed to mean earnest, stalwart, kingly, rather than just handsome (tho it mean dis too). This saying comes from the Book of Liang, which was written almost 1400 years ago, which is like five and a half americas

I think people won't really study the root of how phrases come about, though there will be wiki (or whatever replaces that) pages that kind of record this history... but the phrases have to be kept alive by people, you know, or else it'll just get forgotten like Old English

Who knows if people will still Skibidi Rizz 10 years from now?
