Half of them aren't really millennial, we stole those from the Black community millennials.

I think Cringe/based are also Gen z.

    ... Huh.

    I mean yeah to the first part, but I was using cringe in like, the early 2010s.

    Not based though, I think that came about later?

    IIRC, 'cringe' started as 'cringeworthy', I think it might have originally gotten more widely used in tumblr/deviantart/fanfic/shipping type circles, and then it broke containment in the early 2010s?
