Track three on **Plague Beats, Vol. 2** (**May 14, 2021**), one minute, Luke solo. The entire lyric is **cringe**, twenty-six times.

No setup, no punchline, same form as [*Cats Are Assholes*](/songs/cats-are-assholes/) on Vol. 1. Here the internet's default judgment word is the beat, repeated until you feel the title: cringe as audio wallpaper, not confession. It anchors Vol. 2's middle run of one-word meme moods, between [*Instant Regret*](/songs/instant-regret/) and [*Looking Kinda Sus (Among Us)*](/songs/looking-kinda-sus-among-us/).
