The trick to not being cringe is to deny its an actual thing. Cringe culture is basically about punching down, and if people use it against me so be it. They are bullies anyway and I dont have time for that. I just turned 39 and do you know what I bought myself for my birthday? Some fucking Pikachu crocs:
They also had some light up motion sensitive Pikachu croc charms that i have added to the backstrap so when I walk I complete the I’m 10 and love Pokemon look. I wear mostly t-shirts with ether Trains, Brony shit, Pikachu, or some other furry crap on it. I have super limited interests when it comes to my fashion and no motherfucker is gonna stand in my way.
And do you know what I get mostly from people when they see me confidently wearing my fit? They love it and complement me on it and even if they are doing it sarcastically its not like my autistic ass is gonna understand.
The trick is to be so vain that you couldn’t even imagine caring what other people think because what would they even be able to say to you, a walking god of drip and fashion?
Also where did you get the crocs they are cool af?
That is another good way to put it
They were an official Crocs X Pokemon collab, and sadly they are all gone. They had a bunch of charms come out and also a bunch of different Croc types that are still up. I am sort of dialed into the news stream for Crocs because they are the only shoe that really works for me sensory wise. When I have extra bad days it helps conserve spoons when they are limited in number if you catch my drift. Every little bit helps in the name of beating back meltdowns.
Word. I totally understand. Every little bit of comfort and stability you can get is worth it.
Unfathomly based
This is the way
Special interest fashion goes hard.
You called it, I usually have to tell people that no I do not wear the same shirt more than one day in a row. I just have five of the same Rainbow Dash shirt and for the next five days I need to feel 20% cooler.
Now you just need to get some croc-nuts and you’ll be gucci
That’s a fun idea, but I think if I was keeping with what I like it would probably be one of the Pikachu tail and ears I see on etsy.
But I am a clumsy person and they would probably get me hooked on something and lose em
Cringe is the mind prison, embracing it is the only way to transcend
No. I love Casio. I rock the Osama Bin Laden watch myself
It’s a timeless classic.
best watch
Heather from Silent Hill 3 wears a gshock and this is the reason I wanted one in high school
Gotta wait til your 40 for that level of drip
While people are sort of right about how life’s too short to be worried about cringe, cringe does definitely exist, and people will always unfortunately judge you for things.
If you’re a self conscious person, but you’re happy with the way you’re experiencing life, then continue to live life in a way that you’re comfortable. I’m confident, but I’m also quite self conscious, and on the whole enjoy being quiet and humble, watching the world go by. I like to blend into my city’s mid toned navy, brown, green and grey colour palette. As such, and I don’t mean this as an insult, I personally would not be most comfortable wearing such a brightly coloured (garish, perhaps) watch, nor the Pikachu crocs somebody posted.
It really depends what vibe you’re trying to put across. Fashion can be a signifier of interests and subcultures. I could probably sort my workplace by fashion and it would directly correlate friendship groups, music taste, and so on, without anyone of them really intending on wearing a group signifier. This G-Shock watch, I am sorry to say, by my harshest judgment, could be sorted into the harry potter/funko pop adult fashion category.
At the end of the day it’s about how you want to be seen, and what makes you happiest to wear. But to be frank, yes, a big red G-Shock could be considered cringe to those who are cringe-inclined. To those who aren’t cringe-inclined, it’s just a big fun colourful watch. One can only respect the boldness.

I 100% agree with you but I would kindly request you edit your post to remove “fuckt*rd” it’s an abelist slur
if 80 year olds can wear apple watches you can wear the gshock
If wearing a GShock is cringe, I don’t wanna be not-cringe.
If you are seriously asking tho and don’t do a lot of outdoors stuff, opt for an atomic model because it’s cool as fuck but don’t bother with solar. The idea is neat but I have to toss my in the window every couple of months for a few days to charge. It’s supposed to charge from ambient light but it’s not great.
don’t bother with solar
The funny part of these is that they still need to have a rechargeable battery replaced eventually, just like the normal quartz watches.
I totally even knew that going in but was like replace it in 8 years or 10 like it’s some sort of fiscal big brain decision.
The biggest fuck is that my cheap ass Casio from Walmart that can’t keep time worth a shit without fixing it once a week is 10x more comfy to wear. I type on a keyboard that doesn’t have a case so I can rest my palms in my deskmat and with that watch on you can’t even tell it’s there but with the Sqaure I can feel it pressing into my wrist just enough to bug me.
I want the ones that look big
If I ever upgrade I’m getting one that is big as fuck and like red or some other loud color like the one in your pic lol.
Mine is the traditional “square” black one.
Which one would you get
I’m not sure. I haven’t really been in the market since I got my last one 1.5 years ago. It’s sort of a “maybe next year if I have a job and some spendy moneys I might look into them again” type thing.
You’re too old to worry about being cringe. You’re not a candidate for cool anymore. Sorry.
I’m in my 20s
Can the watch survive g-shock forces? Can you dive underwater with it?
My father beat me “to an inch of my life” after I asked to wear his g shock but forgot and got in my cousins pool and the battery reacted with the clourine in the water
you shouldn’t not buy because it would be cringe, you should not buy because that watch looks like shit

Love the deep red. Needs some yellow hammer and sickle hands.
The people’s watch is deepest red.
buying any type of watch is cringe under any circumstances
Death to America
but how about stealing one?

Buddy, New Balances and other chunky dad shoes are trendy streetwear items now. Wear a g-shock, lord knows it’ll become a fashion statement in a couple years. I plan on getting a Casio world time.
Honestly, crocs and cargo pants spin so swiftly between being unwearably cringe and modestly fashionable that I can absolutely not keep track at my time of life.
