meta-cringe 

The act of cringing at somebody who is deliberately aware of what makes you and most people cringe. They themselves may even cringe at it. Yet, that certain somebody continues to write an entire essay about it.
Journalist: Now before you start to cringe at the mere word 'tik tok', we did a meta-analysis of all tik toks published after covid-19 and found that a large portion of tik toks are actually more educational than the standard high school curriculum.

Me: Ugh, meta-cringe.

A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.
