Most zoomer slang is, but I like this one.

Cringe isn't zoomer slang, it's millennial slang that zoomers decided people shouldn't say anymore for the sole reason that millennials used it to describe all the cringe that was coming out of zoomer culture early on. Calling people cringe for saying cringe is just a big cultural generational temper tantrum.

Literally i might get second hand embarrassment from something but if its not harming anybody just go on about your day

No cringe is literally zoomer slang.

The word cringe is only cringe if it's being used un-ironically to describe anything other than itself as being "cringe," meaning it's a semi-autological word

The conundrum between autological and heterological makes me cringe.
