Every generation ends up getting roasted by the ones that come after them. It’s just the way the world works. Things that were once hallmarks of your generation become ‘cringe’ over time. There’s nothing you can do to stop it, except embrace the cringe. Who’s to say there’s anything wrong with being cringe? To my knowledge, nobody has ever passed away from being cringe. It only hurts the people who cringe at it. The cringeworthy remains unharmed. 

Millennials are full of cringe. We can’t help it, it’s just the way we are. But as we just established, there is nothing wrong with that. There might even be some wisdom hidden in the cringeness. After all, we’ve been on this earth longer than Gen Z or Gen Alpha. We might just know a thing or two about a thing or two, like how we can take some nods from the way things used to be. Sure, we all scoff at the idea of a Blockbuster now, but we forget how magical it was to go there on a Friday night with your friends to pick out a sleepover movie.
