cringecore
i wish i didn't have to but -
hi beautiful,
welcome to What Is This Regarding? where we take a critical lewk at wtf’s going on around us. This wk, we’re talking about the things that make me cringe. why? because when I think about what’s hot, what’s not, and what will be, at the moment it all just makes me Cringe with a Capital C.
before i begin i will share a story that is barely a story but I WILL ALWAYS SPEAK MY DAMN TRUTH HERE. a few wks ago i felt snubbed by someone i don’t even like - which, of course, made me Capital-C-Cringe. I believe, in the deepest depths of my scorpionic heart, that only two opinions in this whole damn life matter:
so i was left wondering, from what barely even QUALIFIED as an interaction… why did this micromoment leave me cringing? Let’s talk about degrees of cringe:
1. MICROCRINGE is the lowest level on the food chain of cringiness - it’s running into someone and forgetting their name even tho you fully worked together/were maybe roommates at one point maybe..??? ; it’s realizing you have a huge black seed in your teeth after feeling like u were being *supes cute* ; it’s essentially anything that isn’t the vibe but isn’t a complete vibe killer.
while we hope to achieve this:
we sometimes by accident achieve this:
and THAT, my friend, is microcringe.
2. MEDIOCRINGE may ruin your day. it’s moving to LA for sun and getting monsoons.
its only MEDIOCRINGE bc there is STILL a positive flip side. there are cozy movie days, the perks of NOT damaging your skin from the anticipated days of sunshine… mediocringe still has silver linings to be found.
when i talk about mediocringe, for some reason, i hear and see this, which again, cannot be explained as sometimes cringe just IS.
3. MACROCRINGE leaves you in a deep abyss of tHoUgHtS… that go round and round but also nowhere.
what i love about this tho….is its an opportunity to phone a friend - you likely have an iconic story on your hands that if told correctly will produce at least 1 hour of material to unpack and ultimately leave with some laughs and in this day and age who doesn’t wanna laugh? or at that rate… be FUNNY??? bc using cringe as humor is what cringe is REALLY ALL ABOUT.
4.CRINGETASTIC is a rare occurrence where cringe actually transcends the ick and becomes kind of sick.
do i CONDONE this? ……..not no. because it becomes CAMP. and I am HERE for CAMP.
my final note, my friends, is giving you the antidote. which i am happily lifting from a friend who shall remain nameless.
the anticringe is bravery.
bc when you’re being brave cringe does not exist.
