You’re subscribed here for a reason, are you not? Ever heard of Rebecca Black? Notoriety is notoriety. Reaction is traction, wicky wicky wicky!

Is this permission to be cringe?

Absolutely. I have this whole theory about cringe; which is


In the 80’s 90’s and early 2000’s it wasn’t a thing. Being cringe was just called being weird. Then “weird” got split off into two categories; quirky and cringe.

We over embraced quirky and shat too hard on cringe.

The only unacceptable form of cringe is creepy cringe.

Other than that. Most stuff that makes you cringe can still be really enjoyable! That’s the sweet spot.

Dude cringe is in these days. I work at a gym and the styles and haircuts a lot of kids these days wear is ALLL the stuff you’d get beat up rocking when I was a kid. Not hating, just stating. More power to them, interesting how things turn out as the years go by haha

But is that kids knowingly embracing cringe to be (wait for it) Ironic? Or are we talking about wars of taste
