About

Cringe Normie refers to an ironic online insult which highlights the changed perception of the word "cringe" as being cringy itself and sometimes also references /r/woooosh subreddit and other aspects of the Reddit culture. The expression gained popularity in ironic communities on iFunny, Instagram and Reddit starting in late 2018.

Origin

The exact origin of the expression is currently unknown. The earliest known use of the expression can be traced to July 8th, 2018, post based on Shrek's Cringe Compilation macro by iFunny user Vagooger.[1]

In the following months, the expression gained significant spread on iFunny,[4][5] also spreading to ironic communities on Instagram and Reddit such as /r/okbuddyretard in early 2019. Many examples of the meme reference /r/woooosh subreddit and other aspects of the Reddit culture, presenting Redditors as faux-intellectual and lacking awareness of ironic meme meta.
