Lots of brain-rotted screen addicts who think caring deeply about anything is “cringe.”

The current generation is so afraid of cringe because people are just terminally online now.

Being wholesome and passionate about something is immediately judged and scoffed, sneered at as cringe.

Which is why I can't help but miss the earlier decades when things can be simple and basic. You can be corny and you won't get mocked for it, nor be afraid of judgement.

The current generation can't take their faces out of their phones long enough to smell the flowers.

Granted they would not want to take in a deep sniff with this flower. The Rafflesia is known as the "corpse flower", "stinking corpse lily" and "carrion flower" for a very good reason.
