Nonsense. It’s been long enough that they’ve lost most cringe value imo, and when used right it’s pretty funny. It’s the same as how impact font memes were cringe but have seen a resurgence.

Take this post. It is a very simple and ironic post (ironic probably isn’t the right word), and using a soyjack wouldn’t convey the same energy. Additionally, Joe Biden was vice president when the F7U12 faces were popular, giving the meme a certain timelessness.

Overall I find this meme to be very clever for how simple it is, and that leads me to rate this meme a 9/10.
