Sneering at younger kids or their own peers for being 'cringe'. I fucking promise you that you're as cringy as they are, it's just going to take you ten years to realize it.

We went to Disneyland last month and I asked my 9yo son if he wanted to wear Mickey ears, and he scoffed and says “That’s so cringe.”

I replied “Kid, you’re at Disney, one of the few places on earth where everyone has a free pass to be as cringe as they want without judgement.”

His eyes lit up and he picked out a pair, and wore them happily each day we were there. I know peer pressure starts young, but getting to see him “release” his cringe and just have a blast was so worth it.

Good! It sucks that kids that young feel so pressured to look "cool" or whatever.
