A good cringe-inducing thing is gatekeepers. Of music genre, fanbases, video games, any niche really. Saying there is a set criteria for being a fan of something, or being a 'practitioner' of a skill or activity. They act like something is a club or a cult and give it a generalization.
I wear my dad's classic rock icon band tees: name three songs, they demand. I could probably give you a line from one. No I don't listen to them on a regular basis. I have listened to at least three songs but not enough to recite their names. If someone donated or gifts you their old shirts from concerts--you wear them out of respect.
Oh you claim to be a fan of the fediverse?
Name Every Instance. (or else you arent part of our Lemming club)

Lol, only been here a week. Just heard that Lemmy existed in November. I am waiting for some subreddits that migrated to Lemmy to grow big enough so that my posts don't go unread for days and days.
