Perhaps I'm in the wrong place, but I have a different perspective. I have my hobbies and interests, but I rarely talk about it because I know I'm not into it "enough" to talk about it for hours on end. I couldn't bring myself to judge anyone for liking something a lot. I wish I could be super passionate about something. But I also wish it were more acceptable to be a casual fan who doesn't need to have encyclopedic knowledge about a franchise, just enjoy it on their own time. I noticed this as early as middle school. I had a friend who watched Naruto in Japanese, and I would wait until they released the English dub. I stopped watching after she spoiled the series, because what's the point of watching it now? Plus, it's expensive to be a superfan and not everyone can afford to be so into something. Even if it's an affordable hobby, the moment I feel I have to be obsessed, buy all the merch, get the latest game, be as tuned into every new thing about it... then that thing is no longer my hobby. It's work. If I have to "keep up", that's not relaxing to me. So that's probably why I choose the "boring" hobbies like taking walks, nature photography, or learning embroidery because there's no push to be tuned in all the time. But I also agree people shouldn't be telling people to simmer down if they enjoy something. God forbid people get excited about anything these days, am I right? Just live and let live, man.

Damn, hobby-lacking brats, get off my lawn! I'm too old to give an esh about someone thinking I'm cringe. Can we see the full dance video?

That's exactly why I live touching grass living my life, because only Internet problems exist to the chronically online.

Why is Yvette Segan in the thumbnail 😭 she is a COMEDIAN she does cringe/sarcastic social media posts but she’s actually really sweet and decently funny

I also noticed that people are not taking seriously your hobby if you're not some sort of expert in it. You cannot be passionate, but have to be an expert skill. I don't have to write 20 pages essay about book to say that my hobby is reading, I don't have to play against Maguns Carlsen to say that my hobby is chess, I don't have to rival Michelangelo to say that my hobby is drawing. I just enjoying the process on the level I am currently capable on

It's jarring to be complimented for my creations, and then be told it's cringe to be care so much about my hobbies in the next heartbeat. I'm incapable of being "casual" about things I love. I literally make art of what I like; if I really love something then of course it will show! If I didn't love what I do so much, I would never have gotten this far. Our generation is becoming the boring, passion-less adults we used to see our elders as, and we aren't even that old yet.

When I was growing up, I didnt care about Harry Potter. Kids who were into it thought I was illiterate because I had no interest in emerging myself into that world. I was a little bit different cause I enjoyed wrestling (back in the attitude era), early style adult swim(Home Movies and Space Ghost Coast to Coast ruled), and tinkering around with computers. It wasnt exactly easy to have a convo with Potter fan about how to increase your fps in cs source by uninstalling vista and installing windows xp. I personally found certain Harry Potter fandom strange and weirdly cultish at the time. The fandom is not the cringe part of it, what's cringe is when you think less of people when they don't partake in your fanaticism of your teenage drama magic novels written by a bigot.

Hobby isn't even the right word. It's passion. To not do it is to repress yourself and your own nature.

EVERYBODY HAS TO HAVE *SOMETHING.* Yeah lets go hang out with John Shirtpants who likes good things and hates bad things.

0:51 I ALWAYS SAY THAT TO PEOPLE AND THEY LOOK AT ME LIKE IM CRAZY

"My hobbie is texting" it's your right to be lame but don't try to make it cool and normal and relatable, thank you

I love my hobbies, I sew Edwardian clothing, I want to get into herbal medicines, and textile production. I live hobbies!

As someone who works at a high school (let alone the one I attended), I can confirm this current generation of students has a thing for weaponizing other student’s passions and interests against them. Additionally, at least with the student population I’ve been working with, they are far more apathetic than empathetic, and unfortunately, they’re behind their expected levels of academic performance snd social skills. It makes me wonder how much the COVID-19 pandemic, remote schooling, having to not socialize or do their work in person, etc. has affected their development while going through this period of their lives; all while social media has run its course on them as well.

When I was in highschool, smartphones and streaming just became a thing really recently. I used to envy a girl in my class who was allowed to have a smartphone and watch movies and series all day after school. One day we were walking home from school together and had what I thought was a nice talk when she broke down crying telling me how depressed she was and what she would give to have a passion for ANYTHING. From that day on I embraced my „cringe“ hobbies and obsessions. I love your video talking about this (and showing your art process :D) you have a new subscriber!

Millenialls (like myself) made our favorite shows, music, movies our entire personality. I don't blame generations to follow to look at that and think it's cringe. Its good to have hobbies though

"It's not easy to put your heart into mediocrity" AMAZING!! I've never thought of it this way

this video is so insightful!! especially when you talked about the “voice” that people may do when talking about something they care about so they can avoid being made fun of, i do that all the time despite believing im in vulnerable to the “cringe” allegations (i cosplay and do kpop dances publicly…) that and other parts of the video helped me realize i have a bit more growing to do to fully overcome the nonchalance that more insecure people push onto others! I WILL GET OUT THIS BUCKET!!!!

Really innovative format, wish you the best!

cringe culture is ableist, have interests and yell about them until people get tired of you, you don't live off the opinion others have of you.

CRINGE CULTURE IS DEAD, BE HAPPY, DON'T HARM YOURSELF OR OTHERS AND DON'T CARE ABOUT WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK ABOUT IT.

What if y’all just like lame shit?

Ive noticed this. Its only an America continent thing. People are so different elsewhere it motivated me to engage in a rapid shift of authenticity and not giving a damn about cringe anymore. Ive legitimately made dozens of new friends since and my social life and general happiness improved dramatically

My hobby is making comics that will take forever to come out, but frankly, it makes me happy :)

I hate your generation.

1:55 Maybe it's because I'm not on TikTok specifically, but I don't see any of this anti-hobby rhetoric anywhere. Millennials have been saying "cringe culture is dead for years" so maybe this is a lesson that every generation has to learn, and I'm just not in the spaces where it's happening again.

Thanks !! <3 As I’m french, I find english speaking videos on these topics very interesting to see if it’s « a my country tendency” or “general tendency”. And I couldn’t agree more about this. I’m a 24yo queer guy who used to grow up among millennials and my generation make me feel I’m the cringiest human on earth ? Furthermore I’m AuDHD, and just talking a lot about my special interests : horror genre movies, retro synth pop / goth clips music, sci fi anime… make myself stressed out and ashamed af. Of course they’re very niche, but I’m not a sociopath, or “boring” talking about this. Why have I the impression to be still in high school and be bullied in the subtext on internet ? When I used to have my blog (2012-ish), I really didn’t care it was MY house on the internet, now I feel being obligated to be a hobby people pleaser performative superficial fab gay guy party hard, etc… Way too much on our shoulders come on

To me, the constant need to put other people down is cringe. Didn't we move pass that in middle school? Like that comment "do what you want put we're going to make fun of you" is SO weird because WHY?? There are better way to spend your time, like perhaps, and hear me out; doing a hobby.

I feel like yapping is an example of social media taking a word with a specific use and putting it into a context where it shouldn't exist. I've only ever heard of yapping being used to talk about someone who says a lot without any content. Like someone who talks to fill up the room and sound smart but doesn't actually know anything and everyone knows but doesn't want to be the one to tell them to stop.

So I’ve been doing fandom video editing for ten years lots of people may find that cringe but I’ve gotten two internships because of the skills I learned! I know multiple different video editing programs which now get to be on my resume! And yeah of course things don’t need to help your career to be cool to do but what I’m saying is that hobbies add to your life. I saw someone in a fandom I’m in say that they don’t know how to edit and they don’t want to cause they’ll be bad and I was like “Everyone’s bad at first and then you grow!”

I ghosted people from my old job after trying to make new friends and realized all the people my age there just think having interests is "lame". Silver-lining is I reconnected my highschool friend you likes history, geography, politics, gaming, movies, and philosophy. So much more interesting to talk with

What kind of person would ever consider cringe a healthy hobby? It almost feels like that person is just jealous which is sad

I'm Autistic. This hits SO HARD. But I also have almost no shame because I like what I like and will info dump to you.

what kind of internet are you visiting? What corner of the internet makes fun of doing things and learning new skills?? Maybe it's because I mostly consume media on tumblr, reddit, youtube and discord and because these corners of the internet I visit are incredibly diverse and queer, but in my corner we try every day to leave "cringe" behind. Hell, I bought second-hand rollerblades recently, and go everyday out even just for a little bit with them on to enjoy. Edit/addendum: I also have a personal diary in which I write what I do, and list my little things I need and want to do that day, I play videogames and read fanfiction and sometimes even WRITE fanfiction! I also knit and crochet and I listen to SO MUCH music I have genuinely thought to make some myself. Whenever I get the jist, I also bake bread. Also, cooking is a thing I really enjoy even though I'm really scared of cooking myself because my boyfriend is on another whole level.

2:45 omg mark what are you doing here

I love the regime attitude that female TH-camrs are curating with their channel. It's a dictatorship, it's a nation state, I love it. Feels like we're back on the playground with that one friend who's calling all the shots.

When I was in high school, I was so depressed and I always wrote edgy stories that made me feel worse. So I decided to embrace the cringe, create characters that made me happy, and now im an ECE major who wants to create a show with my characters! I’m so much happier now that I don’t beat myself up for enjoying silly things.

This video really speaks to me tbh. Heads up, bit of an overly personal wall of text incoming, but oh well. Anyway, I'm someone who is massively guilty of repressing his hobbies. I tend to beat around the bush or make fun of myself when explaining my interests to people because I worry they'll just shy away or make fun of me for being obnoxious and cringey, even though logically I know I'm 22 and most mature adults really shouldn't be so quick to drop someone for that. There's a lot of hobbies I became detached from. Hell, my own channel, where I made incredibly autistic train videos and retail documentaries - I stopped making videos because a bunch of my classmates in high school found my channel and started telling me how cringey my videos were and asking why I even bothered making them. And on the flipside, I hesitate to explore hobbies of mine further because I worry I'm not doing them right. For example, I've been doing photography for years, just carrying my camera wherever I go, but I've never joined any photographer groups or shared my work anywhere online for fear that people will just sit there and tell me that my work is mediocre. Well, that and because I'm terrified of social media and can't think of any other way to make a presence for myself so I'm stuck in this weird loop where even if I wasn't afraid of people not liking my work I'd still have to deal with a medium I don't like. Anyway, again sorry for the long-winded comment. I guess I just have a lot of thoughts from this video.

I’m 48. I’m decades past the point where ppl told me to “grow up” and stop liking “childish things” like an “obsessed nerdy teenager”, which is what people used to throw at me 20 years ago. Please don’t give a fuck about the people who tell you having hobbies and being passionate about things is cringe. They suck. Simple as. Enjoy things! You have one life, make it as fun and flamboyant as you can!

That TikTok is fake, she does skits and humor posting all the time

holy shit I'm glad I'm not a part of your generation

This side effect of capitalism. Nothing can be a just enjoyable everything has been made a commodity. you can only have passion with something profit from it or a heavy financial investment. The "song of the summer" bit should be shamed cause they trying to force and guilt people it to support them financially

Having actual hobbies and enjoying them is far better than doomscrolling on Twitter “I am cringe and I am free,”

my sister used to bully me for liking anime and kpop and now she likes both lol. at some point i was a little ashamed to show what kind of things i liked cause no matter what i liked when i was a kid, i got bullied by her for it, but now that i’m over 20 i just don’t care about what anyone thinks anymore and it’s really freeing. now i just always think of that meme/tweet where someone just said ”you care too much about how you’re being perceived that you cannot fully enjoy living” or something like that and now that’s just my mindset. if someone makes fun of you for liking something, just know that it comes from a place where they care too much about what other people think of them and it’s not cringe to have fun and enjoy things. it’s better to have many maybe even ”cringe” things to enjoy than to not be able to enjoy anything at all in fear of being judged.

I needed this video thank you 🙏🏽

Hobbies aren’t boring not having hobbies is boring

Don’t mean to be existential…(actually hell yes) but… What will be the things that you’ll want to remember on your last day on Earth, and what will be the things you won’t want to regret?

Me watching this while painting a clay egg dish i made 👁️👄👁️
