White guys saying the N word and being gangsta. There is nothing ever cool about a white guy pretending to be ghetto. Yes I’ll include Eminem and I don’t care if he’s been given the pass.
A good cringe-inducing thing is gatekeepers. Of music genre, fanbases, video games, any niche really. Saying there is a set criteria for being a fan of something, or being a ‘practitioner’ of a skill or activity. They act like something is a club or a cult and give it a generalization.
I wear my dad’s classic rock icon band tees: name three songs, they demand. I could probably give you a line from one. No I don’t listen to them on a regular basis. I have listened to at least three songs but not enough to recite their names. If someone donated or gifts you their old shirts from concerts–you wear them out of respect.
Oh you claim to be a fan of the fediverse?

Apologetics and celebrity worshippers: people that defend politicians instead of being critical and forcing them to bend to the will of the working class.
American truck culture. It feels like parody or satire, except it’s real.
And then they complain about the cost of fuel.
And the cost of like everything else with the truck from payments to repairs.
These people are some of the most sensitive, selfish, proudly ignorant snowflakes I’ve ever met.
Not to mention the trend of larger cars in general as a daily driver is insane and completely unnecessary.
Trustfunders and nepo babies who make no effort to try understand the working class and instead act like they are special or better than other people with different priorities and struggles due to circumstance.
Mistaking kindness for weakness.
Fashion policing, especially from religious clergy or judges.
People trying to be attention-seeking in public. I used to see this a lot driving down Melrose in Hollywood a lot, and I’d have to look away because it was so disgusting.
Massively self-obsessed people (e.g people who constantly big themselves up) and Tumblr comedy.
Unfortunately, the venn diagram of self-obsessed theatre adults and people who talk like Tumblr posts is a circle, and it includes the two loudest people in my office.
YouTube videos having intros and “introductions” before the video starts.
Hey guys, gals, and Jofans! It’s ya boy, Jofa, and we’re here with another video about how to use the
pingcommand!Dubstep intermission with spinning letters

Dubstep end
So, today we’ll be teaching you about
ping. But first, I want to apologize for my upload schedule. I’ve been having a lot of trouble lately, my bicycle broke down, I got a papercut, and my wife’s dad’s brother’s dog-walker-in-law crashed my divorce, but that’s a story for another time. Anyway, it’s time to start our… can you believe it? #500 Skill Videos. sips water That’s like a 500th anniversary of skills. Speaking of skills,SquareSpace intermission
Alright, enough rambling. Here’s how to use the
pingcommand.Pingwas invented by bucket makers when they realized dropping a coin in a bucket made a sound.ping… let’s see. Oops, typo. Anyway, that’s what it looks like!Random shit until 10:00
Thanks for watching my video! Be sure to like, subscribe, hit the bell, hit up my Patreon, send ETH, and become a channel member! My Discord is in the description. Jofout!
It is also important that the intro is 50-60 percent louder than the video.
Mine is “sorry about the quality of the video today because my camera broke and I’m using my iphone to record the video”.
Dude you’re talking about TikTok drama, nobody cares if they can count the hairs sticking out of your nose on 4K.
“Heeey Smart People!” – fuck off with that red vs blue bullshit
Also: “Welcome, or welcome back to my channel”
I’m ok with this.
Large office buildings have been cringe to me for a few years. And wearing suits to the office, which just look like personalised school uniforms to me.
If I’m forced to wear an uniform to work, the employer should provide me with one.
People who call others cringe can be pretty cringe. Also people who generalize – e.g. via “all people who call others cringe are cringe” – is a cringe. Also people who stay noncommittal, avoiding vulnerability under layers of irony, can be pretty cringe too.
I agree with some of these things.
Evopsych type dudes.
They made up a whole pseudoscience to “explain” their inability to form meaningful bonds with other humans. And in the process broadcast to everyone they are on the spectrum but refuse to accept it.
Like my dude, I too have trouble intuiting the rules of proper social interaction and wonder where the manual everyone but me got is. But it’s not because of some made up bullshit about the pleistocene. It’s because I’m autistic, and it’s high time you got your ass checked.
OP putting their answer in the body instead of as the first comment.
It’s set as an example. To you know, help people get an idea?
Who the fuck bothers putting their answer as the first comment? What do you think this is, Reddit? Where they don’t even allow you to put anything in the body after asking a question, like on AskReddit, so they want you to waste your time putting it as the first comment.
Go back to Reddit.
By leaving your answer as the first comment it still sets an example for people who find the thread. It also prevents top level comments from being responses to your opinion instead of answers to your question. As it stands, many of the top level comments here are about what qualifies as gangsta instead of what makes them cringe.

This made me cringe.
Adults saying “poop”
Am British where it’s what kids call it. For adults it’s poo or shit.
I change my answer – being British will always be cringe to me.
You’ve been sold a lie. There’s no “Bri’ish” or “Caw blimey guvna”. These are people from the UK who go abroad, suddenly get way more attention for their (slight) accent than they ever did back at home, and play to the popularity by Flanderizing themselves to appeal more to their foreign audience.
Any english/irish/scottish accent you hear on a mainstream TV show is not representative of the general population. Example: the BBC news accent is about as representative of the UK population as the 1950s MidWestern Radio accent was representative of the US population. It’s a caricature that everyone but a foreign audience just mentally tunes out
Why are you conflating “ghetto”, “gangsta,” and black? 95% of it is about where and how you grew up.
There’s plenty of white guys who, although will never experience and understand what it’s like to live in America while black, understand the struggle of growing up in the ghettos, being socioeconomically alienated, and being pressured to look to the “gangsta” lifestyle.
These three can often overlap, but are importantly separate things. A white guy in that situation won’t know what it means to be black like I do, but I will never have a fraction of their knowledge and experience of what it means to grow up to the streets.
Adults doing TikTok dances. It’s cringe enough when kids do it but there’s something about a fully grown adult chasing internet fame that’s just gives me second-hand embarrassment.
Entitled customers make me cringe hard, especially when its someone I am with.
