Bootlicking of the 1%

Diva covers of songs that don't fit the emotional tone of the song because they're too busy showing off their vocal cords.
And people who love these songs.

I can't currently think of any particular women responsible for this,
or particular songs, but I'm quite sure it must have been Christmas song covers,
turning "Jingle Bells" into Aretha Franklin's "Dr. Feelgood".
The only particular song I can come up with, is Michael Bublé's "cry me a river"
and whoever plays the instruments during his version,
so this is not just a mostly female phenomena.

[edit] I'm pretty sure it's Ariane Grande now.
Great singer but not very adaptable.
And probably missing the point of Mariah Carey's christmas song popularity,
the original one as I've just seen newer Hallmark music video
where the video theme no longer matches the song.

Pants that hang so low that all of your ass is above the waistline. Nobody can ever convince me it can be even remotely cool

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.

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.

OP putting their answer in the body instead of as the first comment.

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.

Adults saying "poop"

Am British where it's what kids call it. For adults it's poo or shit.

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.

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.

Entitled customers make me cringe hard, especially when its someone I am with.

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.

YouTube videos having intros and "introductions" before the video starts.

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.

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.
