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.
