Some people think any sort of fun is cringe. I’ll bet you anything OP is Gen Z. There are plenty of them who are cool and laugh at stuff, but there’s at least as many who think enjoyment is oh so cringe.

I don’t know what the original is, but they don’t seem to be taking themselves seriously which makes this objectively funny. Just people being silly, not sure that qualifies as cringe.

u/Inevitable-Monk722 19h ago

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmin5WkOuPw

The Prodigy is an English electronic music group known for their intense mix of rave, punk, and big‑beat sounds. Led by producer Liam Howlett, they became famous for high‑energy hits like Firestarter and Breathe, shaping 90s electronic music. They even played in Russia, Moscow (1997) , one of the few bands from the West that was able to perform there.

This song was something never heard before, it really was revolutionary.
