It is rather cringe-worthy.
When did this tween word “cringey” become so widespread?https://twitter.com/FeynmannS/status/1140476788633743361 …

It's actually a pretty good description of a specific type of discomfort.

It's as embarrassing as using the word Melty, as if it is some sort of fast food technology...

I think it got big thanks mostly to youtube skeptics. Even now the bigger names from that scene still use it. That and "boomer"... what boomers did to deserve being shit on besides building everything we have without so much as a thank you is anyone's guess.

I think the same people who use the word, "cringey", are also overusing the word, "amazing". People, please stop saying, "amazing"!

Amazing was out the door when Stan Lee and Steve Ditko kept referring to Spiderman and his powers as such

A while, and despite not always be felt that way by the person using it, the word is basically synonymous with second hand embarrassment
-
Nah, it seems to have just popped up this year. As a form of ridicule of things outside the status quo.
-
The word has been used for years, it may have spread more over the past year to be part of common vernacular. But it goes back further thab that, that is how it has always been used
