"Cringe is Dead" has lost all meaning and has become yet another way for conventionally attractive and people who pass as "normal" to peddle nostalgia fodder.
Of course you should absolutely do the things you might have been to scared to do as a teenager. Make those sparkledogs or neocities sites.
But I must ask: Will you extend this grace to the "current" generation of cringey people? Or are you so much of a coward you and make fun of people's interests because you find them stupid? Find them an easy target because they aren't particularly "talented" enough?
Or are you so spineless you can't help but crack a joke about how crazy and gross being into feet is? How this generation is doomed because of anime-ified Garten of Banban drawn on notebook paper? The only way you can feel better about yourself is to sneer at those lesser than yourself?
Sometimes, you need to step back and ask yourself: are you becoming the very thing that would have crushed the dreams of your younger self?
