if vaporwave is cringe, then I don't want to be cool
No
i was and will continue to be ignorant that vaporwave was ever cringe in the first place
It's cringe to feel emotion
I make vaporwave music sometimes. It's cringe but it's ok to be cringe. Gimme that barberpole phaser and reverb set to 90% wet
everything you like is cringe and everything i like is based simple as
when the drum machine has a clap
It's hip to be square
This thread is 50/50 "of course its cringe u fukken loser" and "wtf how or why is it cringe"...
Liking things is good, actually, and the thing has to be really terrible for it to be cringe. It's not cringe unless it's more artistically bereft than Thomas Kinkade paintings or more politically suspect than being into WW1 German airplanes.
Nah that shits sick
Which for some reason means good
Nah.
It's cute and looks good. Why is it cringe if it was all over the place some years ago?
When something gets popular, there are people who will say it's cringe. Those people usually just refuse to enjoy anything that a lot of other people enjoy. Often I find it doesn't have anything to do with the quality. This also happens generationally. Younger people will see something like vaporwave as cringe because it's old, but not old enough to be cool again like Y2K fashion is now even though it's obviously extremely cringe
Nah it's cool as hell
It's ok, we all get older and nostalgia pilled. 
(Saying that as someone that also loves vapor wave and is probably older than you.)
Actually I remember back when it was trending I used it as a coping method for dealing with retail jobs. I'd watch a lot of vaporwave being played over footage of dead mall tours. Before I became a leftist, vaporwave was my reminder that the consumerism will die eventually.
Loving anything is cringe nowadays. Don't let others cringing stop you from doing or wearing what you like.
No, it's just that there is a bunch of garbage mixed in with the good
