Millennial Cringe has become a viral trend where creators build humorous clips highlighting moments or styles linked to millennial culture.

Younger creators are leaning into exaggerated stereotypes to explore how things that once felt fresh now inspire secondhand embarrassment, and even ironic fondness.

At the core of this trend is cringe culture’s emotional tug: what used to be celebrated may now feel dated, yet it also taps into nostalgia.

Meanwhile, the millennial pause, a moment of hesitation when starting a video, has become shorthand for generational habits that younger audiences view as outdated.
