When something gets popular, there are people who will say it's cringe. Those people usually just refuse to enjoy anything that a lot of other people enjoy. Often I find it doesn't have anything to do with the quality. This also happens generationally. Younger people will see something like vaporwave as cringe because it's old, but not old enough to be cool again like Y2K fashion is now even though it's obviously extremely cringe
