About

Haminations Cringe, also known as Haminations Song Meme or "Who I Am" Meme, is a TikTok trend that uses clips from YouTuber and indie animator Haminations to joke about the perceived cringe nature of the channel's older content, particularly a 2019 video where Rasmussen sings while introducing himself and discussing his interests, which resurfaced in September early 2026.

After resurfacing in late 2026, the footage was circulated on TikTok as users repurposed it to parody their own enthusiasm and childhood interests, with users expressing embarrassment over having watched and enjoyed Haminations as children and using the clips to joke about the awkwardness of introducing yourself, talking about your interests or openly sharing things you enjoy.
