I don't think minecraft is "cringe" anymore but if I have to hear about dream one more time I'm going to shatter my monitor
First to answer verifed person
Oh... Hey there
yea dream stans aint good but dream haters are toxic
yeah its only a little boring. for me atleast
@@spooderman6312 no... It's both of them.... But not all of them...
I wonder if the reason why people see children’s behavior as “cringe” is because children are more likely to be unapologetically enthusiastic about their interests, and some people see that as naive, when it’s mostly just that “adult life” shames you about liking things that children also like
I’d absolutely agree, modern life and capitalism make working class folks feel like they shouldn’t enjoy “childish” things and only consume “adult” things. It’s mostly just another way to divide the population.
I think is more likely because of how "intense" some kids are.
Ex: When they just can't stop bringing the thing they like to any conversation, even if it has nothing to do with it...
Getting overly angry and/or "threatening" those who criticizes, or simply don't like, their interest...
When they harass other fandoms because they think their interest is bad, or something...
Oh, and when they start to create overly sexual fanfics...
I've been in game fandoms like Undertale, and that's the point where the hate begins: Kids/teens overtake the fandom and act like little shits, and the rest of the fans, not wanting to be associated with them, start to shun their interest.
That's why in some cases the game/show resurfaces again after many years: Because people didn't hate the thing itself. They hated the people associated with it
@@ColorsOfOrion That doesn't seem kid like stuff to do.
@@WhatIsMyLif3 Yeah the overly sexual fanfics actually come from teens and adults, but for the rest of things mentioned, I've seen adults, teens and kids do it. The harassing part mostly
@@ColorsOfOrion Ok, At least they don`t call them little s-words " Ninja " Just say TOXIC but not all are toxic, The gaming community is divided all because they think some game is dead and irrelevant or the devices and consoles they play on, So I will admit, you got the being toxic right but the rule34 art you didn`t, I mean come on kids? No that`s much older people
Cringe Internet Cycle:
Fun game comes out
Kids starts to like it
RUclipsrs/streamers starts to milk it
It becomes “cringe” to like that game now
New fun game comes out
Kids starts to like it
RUclipsrs/streamers starts to milk it
The old game becomes popular again
It becomes “cringe” to like that New game now
Repeat
IT NEVER FUCKING ENDS
that's how it be tho.
Then for some reason out of the blue the game becomes popular again
Real cringe is having Teddie pfp come on
It usually starts to happen when kids like it apparently
I suddenly remember how in middle school, I'd play act boss battles against imaginary bosses. By myself. In front of other kids.
This was 18 years ago.
If all of that took place today, I'd probably be a social media laughing stock and get my own evening news story.
I'm good with "cringe culture" because it keeps me embarrassing myself lmao
Back when I was in school we had some vampire rp thingy with 3 friends of mine.
That was really fun . Honestly people need to shut up about others hobbies.
how did those work?
Yeah you right with that last part
i used to do that when i was a kid and everyone used to get annoyed at me and used to tell me "stop playing like a crazy person" like bro stfu i'm a child let me be a child
If Cringe culture is dying, Does that mean people will think that cringe culture is cringe, creating a paradox on unparalleled patheticness?
That's pretty cringe, bro.
Nothing ever is dead it’s simply changed or forgotten
Yes
yes
OH MY
i'm seeing people calling friday night funkin cringe now just because it's popular and kids enjoy it
The game itself is fun, the community is just something else
I get that children dont know any better and will probably reflect on the cringe in the future but god a lot of people that i've met in the fnf modding community are insufferable
I’ve certainly seen some pretty “cringe” stuff from the fan base, but I don’t really care. The game is still cool and I view it as a really good way to get into rhythm games overall.
that's kinda stupid
*It has started*
I like the game, ng references. But kids play it like, all day
I remembered even when MC was ‘dead’ I still played and when someone said I was playing a dead game I’d tell them ‘Minecraft isn’t dead, your dead.”
Chad 100
That’s pretty cringe
@@bastbo3225 no u
@@bastbo3225 This video really says a lot about you.
“the internet isn’t a safe space” doesn’t excuse the fact that you are bullying children, just because it’s behind a screen doesn’t make it any less disgusting as if you were doing it in person
amen
Say it louder for the people in the back!
It always frustrates me when people use these blatant excuses to be nasty to one another.
But its correct though. some people are gonna be jerks and you just have to be ready for that and toughen up
@@NotaCatGirll You also have to call out the people who are being assholes. Assholes don't get a free pass just because assholes will always exist
@@NotaCatGirll I suppose it's more about not actively encouraging genuinely bad behavior and supporting a more considerate Internet culture for everyone. It is true that preparing oneself for potentially harsh comments or situations is important.
I feel like "cringe culture" is just an evolution of that "edgy teenager" phase that most people go through, where they consider anything made for kids "cringy."
So a lot of us go through an emo phase when we were teenager and then for some people it returns when their mid-20s to early millennials stage as cringe culture it's basically just repackaged edginess
@Elijah Lafond wheres the funny
@@Erolsaurus amogus
I remembered being in that phase when I was in middle school.
I was a VERY problematic kid back then.
Yeah no
I like sonic even in my teen
Mark, what the shit are those Fortnite graphic settings? That's the REAL cringe here.
Travis scott burger

everything about fortnite is cringe XD
Hello it’s Lego Jesus
@@dragonmaster2453 yep
11:11 honestly, this kid is a huge Chad and I definitely admire the risk he took by putting himself out there. You go Lego shorts kid! Keep loving stuff and pursuing your passions!!
He should do a remake
Can we get Lego Movie the Video game tank top?
Heck yeah! That was impressive👍👍👑😎
Fr like when I was that age I was cowering at the thought of people watching me.
To this day, half of the stuff people call "cringe", I find funny (in a good way, not a "haha look at this idiot" way). Like those kids doing the Fortnite dances yelling "We like Fortnite" is great. How they all immediately get up and start quickly doing the dances while chanting it is hilarious. It's literally just a group of kids doing harmless dances, I don't see how it suddenly means "ugh, this piece of media is no longer good, I can't like it anymore."
So long as no one is being harmed, it's all just fun and games.
True. Also, I find it hilarious and cute.
What the Reddit did to Fortnite is unforgivable though.
The "MINE DIAMONDS" song genuinely makes me happy every time I think about it. I thank the uploader greatly.
I remember being a young teenager when T-posing was a thing. I'm 18 now and it is honestly about the same thing as Fortnite dancing in public. I just don't think we should make fun of these kids for these things.
Let's be honest with ourselves; lego batman shorts kid has done something none of us will ever have the courage to do.
Fr. Mad respect that he was able to push through the stage fright he was obviously having

I sung "Stronger than you" to my crush when I was at 12-13. Surprisingly, she actually liked it. Never told her what the song was about but eventually I found out she actually liked me too.

I've said it a million times and I'll say it a million times again: *people who constantly call things cringe just don't know how to enjoy things in life, and unfortunately, that leads to a lot of anti-social traits.*
This reminds me of the whole Gacha kid situation. People will literally bully anyone with a Gacha pfp regardless of their age, skill or content they produce using Gacha Life/Club/etc. Just because there are people out there who make inappropriate content using the app, the people who actually make the inappropriate content should be dealt with and not the innocent people who have nothing to do with that content.
But it's cringe, dude.

What’s funny is most people who are part of cringe culture are preteens and teens who are now incredibly insecure and are trying to push themselves away from there past selves, as a result they begin to dislike anyone and anything that might be seen as “childish” as they are to scared that others may insult them for it. Cringe culture represents the entire idea and stigma of trying to not be seen as “different” we see it in clothing, gaming, tv shows, anything that people widely use and appreciate has its own form of cringe culture and forces everyone to suppress a true them to the point that they now can’t even openly express themselves.
Ego is such a terrifying thing when you're a teenager, insecurity is just negative ego, so they try flipping it but they have to forfeit their honesty.
Yeah. this affected me to the point where when I finally made a somewhat unique character (which is barely even an oc), i was scared to talk about it just because it wasn't close to the general ''uwu furry'' type characters ive seen so often. and i basically ended up forcing myself to become a stereotype until i ended up having a full blown mental crisis over it.
Hitting too close to home
Words and stereotypes are much more powerful than people think
I was both a minecraft and fnaf kid, and I can tell you that the reason its taken these games this long to turn around and become popular again is that these kids have left school and realised everyone has "cringy" interests. Part of growing up is embracing the things you love without the shame, and without the social pressure from school, people realise that fitting in doesnt matter
"game/show bad because fandom bad" is a meme that needs to stop
uhhh Steven universe haters....
Woah didn't know YOU where here
@@spooderman6312 The show has some bad elements tho
@@engineergaming1537 yeah agreed
i hate that fandom says "steven kiss this ship time" and the haters assume the whole show is bad
Yeah Ironicly the "Dark side" of most fandoms (you know the one I mean) are way less toxic and bad as people believe xD
7:08 "I feel like these kids aren't that cringe- everyone is weird and nerdy at that age, and us laughing at them is kind of the real cringe"
you explained it perfectly.
Dude thanks for this. I was the victim of cringe culture recently.
I do voice acting and character acting with a theme based around gold in a 15 year old Valve FPS called Team Fortress 2.
I was drunk on new years and after a long night of being there for a bro that had bad girl issues and needed someone to talk to, I headed home and had a few more drinks and hopped into a TF2 lobby. I was doing my normal thespian posh satirical acting bits, mainly inspired by Monty Python, and having the pleasure of seeing John Cleese live, I wanted to bring my own spin to the lobby.
Things went really well! At least for the first 50 mins or so. Then someone joined and started talking massive amounts of shit in a very monotone voice. This person was named Venusian Rapper. He is the guy that both Vorobey and Pyrocynical covered recently in videos.
This guy spent 30 mins harassing me, using URL exploits to view my artwork of my OC character, calling it "cringe" and siccing his fanbase of like 3k on me. I had to private over 1000 screenshots, and remove my artwork showcase on steam JUST to get away from him. He was kicked from the server by an admin that was called into handle a cheater and noticed his harassment towards me.
All seemed ok but well...
He then uploaded two different videos on me totally out of context and filled with ALL of my socials, my friends socials, my group, my wifes socials, etc. He even showed how to use the URL exploit to view and harass my profile to others on the net, encouraging witch-hunting and brigading!
The ironic part? Mr "Your art is cringe" turns out to be a pedophile, who drew Corn of minors online for fun and money. He also beat his girlfriend and suicide baited her with her own gun, shortly after her grandmother died. This guy is a nutcase who got exposed hard, for things WAY worse than a couple "Cringy" pieces of self insert TF2 art.
He got exposed so damn hard the little coward privated his profile as he already got 2 strikes and was terrified of losing his channel to a third. He even made a burner youtube where he has an about me BEGGING for a second chance.
TLDR, let people enjoy things. If it isn't against the law, and isn't morally wrong, who fucking cares. Cringe is dead, life is short, be you unapologetically, fuck the haters. They are just insecure and jealous, wishing they could be up front about the things they like, with a mind firmly set in 2015, pity them, for they are dead inside.
Don't wanna be rude but you write kind of like one of those copy pasta steam reviews.
Great video, now I can tell people I like Donkey Kong, my deepest darkest secret
Donkey Kong is epicest.

In defense of Lego Batman shorts kid: in sixth grade, I entered the school talent show doing animal impressions.... But to this day, my impressions transcended into cartoon character voices.
Well, that's good news. For me, I used to draw a lot as a hobby but now it becomes a passion, especially in arts.
@@poweroffriendship2.0 i see you everywhere wow!
i have never done anything in my childhood that's become something that i do regularly
then again, i still have 5 years before i'm officially an adult, but so far, nothing has stuck to me
I can’t think of anything I’ve done as a kid that has become a profession probably because I’m not a professional at anything because I don’t have a job and I’m 21
What I hate about cringe culture is that leaves no room for sincerity. It’s irony poisoned a lot of people (even me) and a lot of the people who are the most deep in cringe culture have no room to just acknowledge that people like a thing and that’s perfectly okay.
Minecraft Renaissance begins:
Gamers: “we have always been at war with Eastasia.”
Dream becomes popular:
“We have always been at war with Eurasia.”
Nice reference
I usually just laugh at stuff that is considered cringe in those compilations, unless it's shoenice or something deeply disgusting
I mostly enjoy things considered cringe because they’re mostly just passionate fans.
Hi onion
Exactly tho, literally all commentary youtubers are talking about dream 24/7
Cringe Compilations are a good wake up call, I remember being so terrified of embarrassing myself as a kid and CC's help me look at the potential awkward scenarios I could've gotten myself into. It's kind of therapeutic?

I won’t lie fall guys had the to the biggest case I’ve ever had of “finally getting the cool new toy at school after everyone moved on to the new thing” in my life online
Absolutely, it's just annoying. I watched the last Nintendo Direct live, and hooooly shit, when the announcement that Fall Guys was coming to Switch came up, the abundance of "DEAD GAME" was just stupid and unecessary. Like, there's people that really do like the game. It ain't even dead, it has a steady playerbase. If you don't like it, just ignore it and move on to the next big thing.
yeah, and it sucks too. i think Fall Guys looks really cool and i thought the Scout skin they released was super cute.
@@jermfanaccount Oh yeah I remember grinding the entire day just to get the costume before it was gon
@@pieofchart There are billions of people on this planet can still play other games, especially for Fall Guys and Among Us. In terms of popularity, I guess the part where Fall Guys is getting downhill is justified because there are some cheaters and hackers who wanted to win the game so bad.
Among Us, however, it's also getting downhill since it is getting boring to play. My experience on playing Among Us is easy but it can be frustrated if some Imposter will lurk around and have a chance to kill you while you are finishing your task. But being an Imposter is a lot of fun but it can be a rare case when it is up to the owner of the thread to choose who is gonna be the killer. Since the Airship update is coming at the end of March, I wonder what's gonna be.
@@poweroffriendship2.0 Same man. I played Among Us like two-three times and those weren't even times I'd willing play by myself. I saw that my siblings were playing it so I wanted to join too. Eventually I just kind of stopped doing it because I couldn't bring myself to like it anymore. Fall Guys... I never played it XD. It'd be worth playing if I actually had to motivation to play anything but Roblox... but yeah
Though at this point the memes of Among Us probably won't fade until a little bit, the fact that Among Us was cooler than Fall Guys solely on popularity always confused me. I mean, sure, Fall Guys isn't as popular as Among Us.. but they are both just games that you have the option to play. Fall Guys may not be really mainstream but that doesn't change the fact that it's still available for new players everyday. Don't know how that equates to a dead game..
I'm a 23 year old who likes FNAF, My Little Pony, Undertale, Stephen Universe, and countless other things that were commonly seen as "cringe" back in the day. The beauty of becoming an adult is realizing that other peoples opinions on your interests don't mean jack shit in the grand scheme of things. Enjoy what you enjoy folks! Life is WAY too short to feel bad just because someone chose to be a judgmental asshole
Wait Steven universe was considered cringe?
@@PercydeRoloFangirl still is and it should be
@kwayneboy1524 it really shouldn’t
I totally agree with this, and, I like FNAF, undertale, and Steven universe too. Cool👍
@@kwayneboy1524 it's just a fuckin show man
When I call something "cringe", I'm usually referring to how uncomfortable it makes me. For instance, an awkward moment on a TV show can be cringe because it makes me physically cringe.
Cringe culture: Why do kids like everything we like
Literally the things that always get popular: Rated E games
I literally got featured in a cringe compilation which everyone at my school made fun of me for. Thank you for this comment. It really is just older people being unjustly angry at children.
On r/GachaUnity someone posted about getting almost hacked by an Anti Gacha, it's weird how full grown adults try to bully children for liking a dress up game.
@@arvo-noon @L. Dyle @coryhasnocory thank you all for your comments. I had nightmares about high school last night and feel better waking up to this ❤️❤️❤️❤️ thank you for your thoughts
@@arvo-noon its becuase of the weird community, i will actually "cringe" at most of the vids, but their kids, so....
@@AstralShot I would like to state that to be fair- *they are children* on a Gacha game (as in the shaky shaky ball vending machine) which also has dress up features.
I'm pretty sure cringe culture is the very reason I have become extremely cautious in actually liking things I feel like I would love and why I'm incredibly pessimistic and anti-social.
Same. Tbh tho, just go enjoy what you wanna enjoy and don't let ppl knock you down for it. You'll live a miserable life if you worry about what everyone else thinks of you.
@@TheOcelotSlayer I'm doing everything I can do to enjoy what I wanna enjoy but subconsciously no matter what i do I still feel extremely self-cautious.
I have the same problem and yeah, it’s kinda horrible being influenced so much but slowly and slowly you just start doing your own things not caring what other people think
Yeah, same. My advice is this:
Self deprocating humor is fine so long as you dont believe it or start to, and so long as people dont take it seriously.
Therapy isnt just for crazy people.
Just like whatever unapologetically. Imma guess its deltarune, so if someone makes fun of you because they cant handle the "insane and dangerous community of UT" (only partially wrong) then just tell them they are an insecure idiot with crappy taste.
I say this from my experience with cringe culture and how to deal with it.
So you’re letting what some random dudes online think dictate what you like? Lol that’s sad
Calling people cringe for their love for something is dumb. I bet those people are happier than you
Unfortunately Cringe culture doesn't die. It just moves on to other things.
As all things should be.
@@deadbum L
I think the “I’m not like other girls” trend is also like cringe culture.
Oh my gosh, girls dressing up and being cute? Girls doing normal girl things? Cringe. Not me. I’m quirky. I’m special.
Ikr people like that really need to go outside more. People shouldn’t be bringing other people down just because they are insecure about themselves.
yeah especially the "anime girls and e girls" like they think there quirky because they watcha anime?
@Granny Jojo but why are women just cringe sometimes and not men? I’m not saying us women can’t be cringe because we can but men can also idk why you only decided to call women cringe sometimes.
@Granny Jojo to be fair it looked like you implied that
@@emmahollow8898 that wasn't really my intention I was saying it really because like theres alot of girls that just act all rude and stuff when you try to talk to them. but its not just girls its boys to I mean take a look at david kun.
I think the most toxic point in cringe culture was when people started to make fun of well intentioned beginners in the art and animation community, with many of those beginners being children. You’d see all those “Animation Meme Cringe” videos and most of the time, the videos were just making fun of beginners without offering any constructive criticism and more often then not, users didn’t even know or consent to their videos being put in these cringe compilations. (Different scenario if they did consent or intentionally submit their videos though) . It was especially cruel when they threw in videos that were made by skilled children, who were not beginners and had improved over a fast period of time .
That's just straight up Harassment oh my god
99% of the people that make those cringe comps art artist- the hypocrisy
I know you don’t have to be an artist to give criticism
But you can’t put a decent furry animation into a cringe comp when you probably can’t animate a stick figure walking
Criticism isn’t necessary, it’s helpful but not necessary. If you can’t handle bad comments you shouldn’t be uploading it on RUclips. I’m pretty sure you don’t need to consent to show an animation as long as credit is given. That’s like saying you can only retweet with permission from OP.
@@RAW-MD firstly, they never said that constructive criticism was necessary, secondly we're talking about cringe VIDEOS not comments. Also they never said you _need_ consent to show an animation that you dont own, just that they didnt know or consent
I remember a time when Cuphead was next on the chopping block and people were so insistent that the Cuphead fandom was "bad" and "toxic" and there was a lot of spite art already on hand by those people who tried so hard to demonize the Cuphead fandom.
Then when it came time to actually prove the Cuphead fandom was bad, their example was.....
Crudely drawn Deviantart posts.
Cringe Culture was so desperate that year that it was almost comical
Thank goodness it survived.
The thing is that you can literally find so many weird Deviantart posts on oretty much any media. Even the "less cringe" ones have their fair share of messed up fanart.
Like if that were the case, then every single media consumed by humanity is automatically cringe because of Deviantart.
Something similar happened with Warrior Cats around that time too. A number of people, namely a guy called PK Russel, tried to frame it at something cringey citing some of the lower quality videos and some of the more childish fan fiction kids wrote. However, this was at a time when Multi Animation Projects were all the rage and Warrior Cats was one of the biggest communities for them. It backfired horribly because the biggest things that came up when people looked for stuff on it were absolutely gorgeous animations. Additionally, Warrior Cats differs from things like Cuphead in that it’s not a new media- it’s had a stable community on the internet since the early 2000s, has a much more established and smaller fandom that’s largely of adults with a long lasting interest in the series, and generally keeps to itself. From all of this, it’s way less susceptible to outside backlash than other communities.
“Ever heard of something called Cuphead, old man?”
In 20q6 when i was 11 cringe culture was at its peak, and i was apart of it, later as I started leaving cringe culture, cringe culture never left me. Everytime i want to express myself my mind would be like "your acting cringe, stop it." I gave up my ambition for art at age 12 because i thought to myself "it looks bad, show this to anyone they'll cringe." And i gave up. This still affects me to this day whenever i try to do anything to express myself i immediately stop and delete it/rip it. Whenever i try to talk to make a connection with someone my mind immediately goes "stop this because they will cringe once they find out who you are" this comment right here is taking up all my mental energy because im trying to fight my thoughts. Fuck cringe culture. I abandoned all of my hobbies and ambitions to appease no one.

This is just makes feel sad
The amount of youtubers making videos about fanbases being cringe are pretty much an entire sub genre. Still won't stop me from listening to the Undertale OST and watching jojo.
@@scratchsoft2347 you’re kind of proving his point
If someone makes fun of anyone else for liking Undertale's OST I will slap them. There's only one song I can't stand, and it's Megalovania because that was so overused over the years. I don't understand the hate for the OST.
Nah, the Jojo "fanbase" is one of the most unfunny fanbases I ever seen. They repeat the same jokes over and over again, quote the show over and over, claim stuff are a reference to it when Jojo is already a Fist of the Northstar reference, and try to make Araki forgots when they just can't pay attention. It isn't all bad since the artwork and music is pretty good, and I appreciate the people who translated Part 6 - 8 since it let me discovered some of my favorite manga but man the vocal minority is really annoying.
@@antimatter3084 tbh it’s “those” people. The same people who go from fan base to fan base ruining them. They went from Rick and morty to jojo to mha. They’re terrible unfunny people.
@@antimatter3084 You can acknowledge that they are the vocal minority yet blame the whole fanbase, nice 🗿
This video was honestly so encouraging for me. I’m autistic and I’ve always been ashamed about expressing my special interests like minecraft and sonic. Sometimes I couldn’t even stop myself from talking about them so much because I was just so passionate about them. I was always scared I would be bullied for them and I was at one point, I eventually stopped caring yet I still get some anxietys about this stuff but this video really helped me see that I should really embrace myself and my special interests, thanks!
same here
you r awesome...
Bro we all are different. Also sonic and minecraft ain't weird imo and if people are bullying you then they are the problem not you dude
I’m autistic too and I’m happy you can comfortable with your special interest
Same here mate
6:46 I might be biased considering all past work I’ve done with kids was with little ones aged 4-8, but I will never understand how anyone found that first kid to be cringe. I think it’s so adorable how excited he is to be at a convention for a thing he likes and even getting to ask a question. He must’ve left that day thinking it was the best day ever! Yes his question was absolute nonsense, but kids around that age especially ask/say nonsensical things all the time and you just have to let them roll with it. My personal way of handling them is just spew silly nonsense back at them and they’ll be satisfied.
i've never understood why some peoples justification for not getting into a piece of media is the fanbase because they're "cringe". why would other peoples interest and expression of that interest in something determine how YOU interact or feel about it? it's genuinely so sad to see people turn down games, shows, movies, and other franchises just because of the attention it's getting? if you think a fandom is cringe, then don't interact with it. it's as simple as that and it should stop you from exploring new media
Cringe culture never dies. It just transforms into something different
True CRINGE never dies it cant be stopped and I hate hearing about all of the drama all the time about dream and being cancelle.
i still hate furries lol
We must leave cringe dead
Cancel culture and 4chan-like people
Is a thing called tik tok
7:09 actually I paused and the first comment I saw was:
*"I feel like these kids aren't that cringe- everyone is weird and nerdy at that age, and us laughing at them is kind of the real cringe"*
which honestly sums up my feelings quite nicely.
Agree
Facts
what about adults who are cringe in the same way as those children?
"THIS VIDEO ISN'T "CRINGE", _YOU'RE_ CRINGE!"
~William
give them an medal.
I saw an among us TikTok and the whole comment section was “dead game” 💀
Honestly cringe culture really did hinder my artistic and creative work, cringe culture was RAMPANT in the art community when I was still a mushy-brained preteen so it really fucked up my view on what’s “good art” or “bad art”. Animation meme cringe compilations and deviantart cringe made me believe that if I did or made something cringey I would get publicly humiliated and thus I forced myself to make art that would be viewed as “acceptable.” So for the longest time all of my character designs were desaturated to the point of near greyscale with only one pop of color occasionally and all of my character’s personalities were so bland they were basically stone statues. It’s only since quarantine started that I really started expressing myself in a way that makes me happy, because I grew out of my self-hating cringe-fearing child self.
And cringe culture almost completely affected people like me with autism, since we have social issues and can get easily fixated on stuff others feel is odd or “cringe.” I went through ALL of the cringe fandoms; FNAF, Baldi’s Basics, UnderTale (I met some of my closest friends in this fandom), My Little Pony, anime, Minecraft (I still love this game), and throughout most of these phases I really liked furries (but I wasn’t really open about it). But my own self-hate and the fear I would be seen as cringe and bullied for it made me really afraid of talking about stuff I enjoyed to my peers, leading me to feel isolated and alone. And they found out I liked anime and furries and were RUTHLESS, 8th graders can be needlessly cruel to peers who stray from the norm. But now I’m an autistic 17 year old who’s still processing and trying to get rid of this mindset of trying to appeal to everybody I meet.

I always find this so annoying when someone says i was always a fan of minecraft and leaves out the 2 years they hated it for no reason, i mean i played minecraft first in 2012 loved it and when fortnite came out i played that and still played minecraft as well but if i said that I did they'd say "that games for baby's why are you playing it" but in 2021 those people are like "minecraft great i always loved it" and if you point out that they once said that they hate they say your wrong and that they still liked it then
I started liking Friday Night Funkin ever since the game has a smaller fanbase. It’s honestly crazy to see just how many people hate the game just because it’s the norm. Personally I love the game and it’s modding community. The amount of talked I see from artists, animators, musicians, and programmers is phenomenal. But of course, a game is going to have weird people, and that’s all people associate with the game now. I’m just glad there are people who understand how stupid Cringe Culture can be.
I stopped enjoying the game becausr of all the drama(man fuck spete) and it getting stale for me but I don't witch hunt people for liking it
@bruh moment same
@bruh moment Y’know there’s a perfect quote to tell any mod creator.
“What happens in the dark, comes out in the light.”
-Trevor Philips
I think it's one of those situations where the game is hated solely BECAUSE of the fanbase. That's how it happened for me. I used to like it until the fanbase became super vile, and people I used to be friends with used their love of the game to harass and bully people relentlessly (got away from them though, luckily)
What’s replaced cringe culture is INCOMPARABLY worse
What replaced it?
Life cycle of a popular game: Spikes in popularity➙kids start to like it and over saturation➙memes start to come up about it➙it becomes popular again
I don’t think that’s the same for every single popular game but ok
Sure, but I don't think kids are responsible for "ruining" the game considering that kids are just kids. Sure, there are stupid and naive, but I think adults went too far with that.
I think that is happening with fortnite atm because I see more and more memes about it and ppl being nostalgic about it just like with minecraft in 2018-2019
Also it’s obvious that some of these games like fortnite and fall guys are made for kids since they are a lot more cartoony and stuff
You forgot one more thing in that life cycle people calling game "dead game" for likes and stuff despite fact there's evidence of it doing pretty well 🤣

I can’t tell you how many teens & kids I’ve met in online groups usually for support with mental illness. & I’ve had to explain that they aren’t dismissed by adults because they’re bad or dramatic, it’s because they’re at an awkward phase in their lives & adults look at them & see certain things in their behaviors that make them cringe at their past selves. & instead of providing comfort & guidance to preteens & teens that are presently going through it, they project, shame, & dismiss them. It’s so sad to me because they’re sweet kids. & I know this video is old, but I wanted to thank you for making this video. I think it has & will continue to help that age group forgive themselves for their awkwardness

@@Mr.kitsune42 i don't know how you do
The reason I consider lots of kids getting into something you like a bad thing is because companies will then change that thing to cater towards kids. Dropping quality, pushing gimmicks, and changing the thing you liked before it became 'made for kids'.
Imagine disliking a game because it’s “cringe” instead of just disliking the game in general for normal reasons
99% of people on the internet for some reason: yes?
maybe I'm just unaware but I never thought cringe culture was about genuinely hating the cringe. I thought it was all about laughing at awkwardness and enjoying it.
like for example, I never see people hating SammyClassicSonicFan. just enjoying his over-the-top nature and memeing him in a light-hearted fun way

So true
Liking it isn't the issue, it's how they express that liking, typically by being overbearing and awkward about it, which reminds people of what they did when _they_ were kids and the 3Am nightmares that that caused. In order to separate themselves from that general bad feeling, they shun it and shame people who behave that way.

You could also include anime into this video. Back around 2016 and earlier, everyone thought anime was cringe and only the “weeaboos” and “people with anime body pillows” enjoyed anime. With anime becoming such a mainstream form of entertainment in the West, it became far more accepted. I too didn’t really find anime appealing at the time too since it had such a weird and toxic culture around it but eventually I grew to realize that it’s just a small vocal minority. Today I keep up with a few series and have even tried reading some manga
Because people thought anime was cringe back then when I was trying to get into them I stopped that and now I struggle to watch any anime, even if I've been told I'd like it. The only two I've watched is the obvious attack on titan and jojos (jojo was mainly a thing i got into this year because literally everyone I know is into it and one friend dragged me into the live action movie and then anime)
@@shortangel333I find that funny because I can imagine japanese people thinking the same of american cartoons. since to them anime is just normal animation and western cartoons are these weird shows from another country.
One thing that led to me not liking games as much is because I grew up and tried to distance myself from them, thinking I only like a game because I was younger. Now I realize that I did genuinely love the original fnaf and Minecraft and so on, so I’m willing to go back to them. It’s all part of a cycle.
I feel like “cringe” became what “fail”, “cancer”, and “AIDS” used to be in the late 2000’s to early 2010’s
Oh shit. I actually fully forgot about “cancer” or “AIDS”. But yeah, people will always come up with a new term to excuse bullying
Or "shitposting"
@@filmfortress6675 "Shitposting" is a fun example, because it exemplifies what's happening now with "cringe". Used to mean literally just a post that is shitty, now it's used in a positive way to say something online is funny
oh my god i forgot about ''cancer'', yeah that is definitely what turned into cringe, i wonder if cringe will ever turn into something else
I thought cancer was more mid 2010's (2015-2016), at least in my circles I guess haha
Cringe culture is why people who are actually autistic and very passionate about what we enjoy don't talk about what we enjoy to others. It's a big reason I didn't want people to know I was into Batman for a long time as an adult, because I was mocked for every single interest I had in middle and high school. Harry Potter, Danny Phantom, Spider-Man, A Series of Unfortunate Events, and yes, even Batman (all because I had a lot of Joker T-shirts and liked to wear them because he's one of my favorite Batman rogues). It really messed my self-esteem up and made me very insecure as an adult. I've gotten a lot better at it now, but every time I see people say "that's cringe" or "you're being cringy" it just... it feels really wrong.
I'm with you, dude, let people enjoy what they enjoy, and if it's REALLY getting too much, ask them to please stop making so many references. If people would have told me, "Phantom, we aren't into Batman and don't particularly care which Joker you think is coolest, it's a little annoying, tone it down" I'd have toned it down. Instead they talked behind my back and called me the 2008 version of cringe. Please, don't do this to kids, it could be the difference between someone having a decent self-esteem as an adult or not. Nobody deserves that.
you’re 100% right. i’m autistic and was bullied for so much stuff. even if it was popular at the time, i was still made fun of. i admit i wasn’t exactly “normal” with my interests, for example i once wore a shirt from my favorite band for a month straight (washed every night), but i also wasn’t the kid who naruto ran down the hallway or talked peoples ears off about stuff.
it seems that a lot of “cringey” behavior is really just nurodivergent behavior and it sucks a lot cause it fucks you up so bad when you get older. i wasn’t bullied very bad at all and i’m still terrified of telling people my interests even if they’re the one who showed interest in it first.

Remember kids.
Enjoy what makes you happy, and respect others opinions.
Yes respect others opinions wether they *LIKE* or *DISLIKE* something popular or unpopular.
and remember, liking popular things doesn't make you interesting, nor does it make you cool to bash stuff that IS popular
Even if I dislike most of the popular things, I don’t shame people for liking the things they like. (Except TikTok, I really do hate it and have talked smack about that in the past.)
Why is that so hard to do for people?
Well no.
A lot of the games mentioned here are genuinely good games, but since they lose popularity because, I don't know, ITS IN OUR NATURE TO GET BORED AND LOOK FOR NEW THINGS, we tend to regard them as dead or "cringe".
it kinda depends , some people like to call it cringe when it die as a trend like the games he mentioned or it's community play a role in that and friday night funkin and poppy playtime are good examples of that decent games but their community are giving them the worst image possible(jus my opinion tell what you think)
As an animator, looking at what happened at RUclips, I can say that cringe culture is no dying or die, they is just evolve into something different that so big and still growing that you might know it on youtube
Growing up with all of these big games, I was annoyed by the kids in my same grade who would only talk about the games they liked and nothing else. There was a kid in my 7th grade class who had autism, and he was a massive Undertale fan. We did a project together, and he was constantly making Undertale references and expecting me to get them, and I was just so annoyed by it. However, I think it was my 9th grade year, and I finally got around to playing the game, and it quickly became one of my favorite games I've played. And now, I kinda regret how I acted with John from Language Arts, and if I could ever go back in time, I'd hang out with him more. And with Sonic and FNAF, I've been a fan for as long as I've known those series (first Sonic game was Heroes), but I stopped being as open about my love for those series after hearing people talk about it being cringey to like those series. However, nowadays I'm much more comfortable expressing my love for them
