White guys saying the N word and being gangsta. There is nothing ever cool about a white guy pretending to be ghetto. Yes I’ll include Eminem and I don’t care if he’s been given the pass.
American truck culture. It feels like parody or satire, except it’s real.
And then they complain about the cost of fuel.
And the cost of like everything else with the truck from payments to repairs.
These people are some of the most sensitive, selfish, proudly ignorant snowflakes I’ve ever met.
Not to mention the trend of larger cars in general as a daily driver is insane and completely unnecessary.
I agree on the n word part, but do you expect white guys raised in/by disadvantaged black communities to pretend to be a person they’re not just because of the color of their skin?
OP must be joking. Living one of the largest cities in the US/World for two decades, skin color has nothing to do with being “gansta”.
Musicals. 😬
Other than Hamilton, I agree. When there’s a special musical episode on a show, I hate it
A good cringe-inducing thing is gatekeepers. Of music genre, fanbases, video games, any niche really. Saying there is a set criteria for being a fan of something, or being a ‘practitioner’ of a skill or activity. They act like something is a club or a cult and give it a generalization.
I wear my dad’s classic rock icon band tees: name three songs, they demand. I could probably give you a line from one. No I don’t listen to them on a regular basis. I have listened to at least three songs but not enough to recite their names. If someone donated or gifts you their old shirts from concerts–you wear them out of respect.
Oh you claim to be a fan of the fediverse?
Name Every Instance. (or else you arent part of our Lemming club)
/s
Lol, only been here a week. Just heard that Lemmy existed in November. I am waiting for some subreddits that migrated to Lemmy to grow big enough so that my posts don’t go unread for days and days.
Tik Tok brainrot
Like there are so many cool science videos or even gameplay content on youtube, so many movies and TV to watch on sites like netflix or any of the various media platforms, why are kids watching stupid dances and stupid “viral challenges”
tbh my grandma considered movies and TV brainrot and my parents don’t understand why people watch someone playing a video game on Youtube rather than playing. I think there are legitimate criticisms of Tik Tok and other social media, but this just reads as that simpsons quote:
I used to be with ‘it’, but then they changed what ‘it’ was. Now what I’m with isn’t ‘it’ anymore and what’s ‘it’ seems weird and scary. It’ll happen to you!
I don’t understand why people watch others play video games, but I also don’t understand why people watch people playing sports.
Because playing games costs money
Energy too
life is too exhausting
Sometimes you wannna experience a game but are too tired (or in my case, too depressed) to play it.
As for sports, idk. I don’t understand that at all, its been the same sport for such a long time, I’d be bored af, even if I ever had a desire to watch sports. I never understand those people.
There’s a lot of cool science stuff on tik tok too.
Why are you conflating “ghetto”, “gangsta,” and black? 95% of it is about where and how you grew up.
There’s plenty of white guys who, although will never experience and understand what it’s like to live in America while black, understand the struggle of growing up in the ghettos, being socioeconomically alienated, and being pressured to look to the “gangsta” lifestyle.
These three can often overlap, but are importantly separate things. A white guy in that situation won’t know what it means to be black like I do, but I will never have a fraction of their knowledge and experience of what it means to grow up to the streets.
Large office buildings have been cringe to me for a few years. And wearing suits to the office, which just look like personalised school uniforms to me.
If I’m forced to wear an uniform to work, the employer should provide me with one.
Yip, or at least be heavily discounted.
YouTube videos having intros and “introductions” before the video starts.
Hey guys, gals, and Jofans! It’s ya boy, Jofa, and we’re here with another video about how to use the
pingcommand!Dubstep intermission with spinning letters
𝓙 𝓞 𝓕 𝓐
Dubstep end
So, today we’ll be teaching you about
ping. But first, I want to apologize for my upload schedule. I’ve been having a lot of trouble lately, my bicycle broke down, I got a papercut, and my wife’s dad’s brother’s dog-walker-in-law crashed my divorce, but that’s a story for another time. Anyway, it’s time to start our… can you believe it? #500 Skill Videos. sips water That’s like a 500th anniversary of skills. Speaking of skills,SquareSpace intermission
Alright, enough rambling. Here’s how to use the
pingcommand.Pingwas invented by bucket makers when they realized dropping a coin in a bucket made a sound.ping… let’s see. Oops, typo. Anyway, that’s what it looks like!Random shit until 10:00
Thanks for watching my video! Be sure to like, subscribe, hit the bell, hit up my Patreon, send ETH, and become a channel member! My Discord is in the description. Jofout!
Mine is “sorry about the quality of the video today because my camera broke and I’m using my iphone to record the video”.
Dude you’re talking about TikTok drama, nobody cares if they can count the hairs sticking out of your nose on 4K.
It is also important that the intro is 50-60 percent louder than the video.
This is even worse in TikTok, where the expected content length is 2-3 minutes.
“Heeey Smart People!” – fuck off with that red vs blue bullshit
Also: “Welcome, or welcome back to my channel”
I’m ok with this.
that just sounds like a normal greeting
White guys saying the N word and being gangsta. There is nothing ever cool about a white guy pretending to be ghetto. Yes I’ll include Eminem and I don’t care if he’s been given the pass.
He grew up in the ghetto around that culture. He wasn’t pretending. I didn’t know he used the n word in any songs. He may have used it in conversation idk.
Repeating song lyrics don’t count bc usually you are alone anyway. It’s a ‘tree falls in the woods and no one there to hear it’ situation.
About your last point, I’ve been trying to make it a habit that I replace it with “brother” or something whenever I’m singing along.
But you gotta use it without the hard R. “Brotha”
I use ‘glip glops’ referencing Rick and Morty.
Rick: What’s up my glipglops!?!?
And
Summer: Are some glip glops from the third dimension gonna come over and play cards or something?
And Rick eventually explains: Glip glop is like the n-word and the c-word had a baby and it was raised by all the bad words for [juice].
The concept of faith.
Not just for God.
The idea of glorifying believing something without evidence.
If you believe in someone based on prior actions, that isn’t faith.
If you put your faith in someone you don’t know, fucking cringe.
“Imma turn my brain off” shouldn’t be inspirational.
Nothing makes me cringe quite as hard as just have faith.
People who call others cringe can be pretty cringe. Also people who generalize – e.g. via “all people who call others cringe are cringe” – is a cringe. Also people who stay noncommittal, avoiding vulnerability under layers of irony, can be pretty cringe too.
I agree with some of these things and disagree with others.
The sound of people chewing. It induces such a visceral cringe but I can’t even explain why it bothers me so much. I just find the sound disgusting for some reason.
I feel it. My gf sometimes chews with her mouth open.
Ah, a fellow misophonia ‘enjoyer’!
Adults doing TikTok dances. It’s cringe enough when kids do it but there’s something about a fully grown adult chasing internet fame that’s just gives me second-hand embarrassment.
Apologetics and celebrity worshippers: people that defend politicians instead of being critical and forcing them to bend to the will of the working class.
Ruling class/race making music about struggle.
Corporate speeches.
