I was bussin' with excitement when I saw the pfp of my friend’s glow up on my FYP. No cap, she’s been slaying lately, and I was like, "Yasss, that’s a major W!" But then, she texted me and said the party was a vibe check—the drip was on point, but the music was pure cringe. I was like, "Bruh, how is that even possible?" She said the DJ was simping for his ex, and the whole thing was just chuggy. I felt that FOMO hit hard, but I didn’t want to go because I didn’t wanna be the no way person in the corner. But I had to text her, "ILY, but I’m good." The whole thing seemed like a cursed situation. Fr, I wasn’t about to yeet myself into that chaos, so I just chilled at home. Fr fr, sometimes it’s better to stay in and save yourself from a L.

Occurs when people gather to watch a sporting event or tv show. They watch the show with joy, then the room turns awkward once it cuts to commercials. Either people mindlessly watch the commercials, or they go on their phones.

The increasingly prevalent phenomenon observed annually during the Eurovision Song Contest, characterized by an exquisite blend of baffling sartorial choices, questionable vocal performances, and lyrical masterpieces that defy all known laws of artistic merit. Often results in involuntary shudders, a profound appreciation for musical silence, and a sudden, inexplicable urge to move to a remote island with no internet access. Not to be confused with "camp" or "ironic enjoyment," as Eurovision Song Cringe is typically experienced despite one's best efforts to remain entertained.
