CRINGE CULTURE IS DEAD

On urban dictionary, cringe culture is described as “making fun of people and/or insulting them by calling them "cringy" or "cringe" for doing something which doesn't harm or somehow insult anyone nor anything.” The phrase “cringe culture is dead” denounces this, encouraging people to have fun with their works/interests without worrying about being ridiculed for being “cringe.”  

This jam is all about embracing the tropes you love deep down, no matter how overdone or cringy it may be. It’s about creating that dream self-indulgent project that you’ve had in the back of your mind, but you’re too scared of the internet hating on it to share it. Want to make a fan game where your oc kisses that popular anime boy you like? Here’s your excuse to make whatever your heart desires, without fear of judgment!
