If you’re familiar with the internet, you’re familiar with cringe.
Or at least, I am, I have been called cringe, I mean, I even tried to wear pigtails once and my little brother called that a cursed image. And though there is a modern Gen Z attempt to reclaim the word cringe, such as the phrase although I am cringe, I am free. But, if you’re called cringe, you know it has deep, deep negative connotation. And researching cringe through an academic perspective brings up a whole bunch of fun articles we can learn from.
If there’s one thing people are terrified of, it’s being genuine. This trend in enjoying things “ironically” is a safe place to exist because if nothings taken seriously you’re safe. So, let's talk about that :)
