Sorry, another addition…

Everyone uses it to mean genuine or heartfelt these days.

That seems incomplete at best. There’s a clear negative connotation and I don’t think “genuine or heartfelt” is even a necessary component. I see people commonly call things “cringe” for being overly ironic too.

[(Anonymous)]

I've never seen anyone say that for something being overly ironic. Only things that aren't sarcastic or aren't polished.

[iff_and_xor]

Cool. But you see at least a few data points in the comments saying that they’ve seen “cringe” used for other things like people putting on pretensions, right?

[(Anonymous)]

I see them saying that in this comment thread. I have not run into this myself. My experiences are all I have to go off. I'm sorry my two sentence comment did not account for all of humanity.

Well, at the very least, you are now a second-hand anecdote in my personal dataset and they’re second-hand anecdotes in yours.

NTA
Cringe meaning "genuine or heartfelt" heavily depends on context and is mostly a contemporary/subcultural use. The only times I've seen it used for that is in a tongue-in-cheek way. Like, "this is cringe and I love it" or "I am cringe and free", etc.
