I disagree so heavily and not even just from an ideological standpoint or whatever. I mean sure, it's really depending on your social bubble but most everyone I hang with would think somebody only doing things ironically is an exasperating hack but some dude just straight up rocking the g-shock / canadian tuxedo / mullet combo or whatever? Like putting their whole pussy into it? Cheers all around, I'd buy that guy a beer
Oh I'd absolutely prefer somebody going all in something like that to the exasperating hack. My point is that if your goal is to avoid getting "owned" or whatever you want to call it, the only way to do that is to never actually enjoy something. I guess I'm trying to get across that I think a lot of the cringe discourse is less about what people think is embarrassing and more about avoiding ever feeling embarrassed, which is simply not a realistic thing unless you make yourself miserable.
