    I’m so confused. Can someone explain this one to me? It just looks like someone is playing a phone game or DS or something. Don’t people play phone games still or is that the joke?

      Its consider cringe by “the youths” to be out in public playing a handheld game console.

        Interesting, so being into ad-infested, freemium mobile games is okay, but being into real games that you can play straight through without interruptions is cringe?

        I’m suddenly glad to be an adult.

          Getting a solid answer on that from teenagers is basically not possible. They live life based on “vibes”, and the vibes are cringe

            Huh. There aren’t many teenagers in my life but the two who matter to me (my nephews) have always been pro-video-game.
