Cringy "Nibba - Nibbi" gang !

This weekend, many social media accounts were flooded with #cringey movie post. (Thanks to them I added this new #GenZ word to my dictionary along with nibba-nibbi). To set it clear, it was not the movie but the awkwardness situation created by the audience that was 'cringey'. It was a romantic movie and two new faces were launched in the bollywood. Many youth who visited theatre to entertain themselves started behaving awkwardly. They were crying, shouting, and even some fainting. I watched the same movie at home but does not have any such reaction. May be this is where todays 'youth' differ from an yesterday adult. But watching those social media posts, I felt cringey at the situation.

Nibba - Nibbi is a term used for young boys and girls who fall in love at quite can young age and make plans-cum-castles in the air-about their future and children.

They were not sure how their relationships will bloom as they get older. They belongs from a specific class of people who are immature and childish. They have not seen the life in real yet get deeply involved. They assume themselves to be deeply in love and romance, but lack the maturity that requires in actual relationship. And these nibba - nibbi are the one who made the situation #cringey at the theatre.

Romantic movies often explore themes of love, loss, and connection, which can resonate deeply with viewers own experiences and emotions. This emotional resonance can lead to tears as viewers relate to the characters journeys and feelings. The majority of the youth that were getting emotional were too high. There were families too watching the movies, but the youth went out a step ahead to create ruckus situation inside the movie theatre. Some fainted and some started shouting near the big screen. While I watched it on my laptop, I found the movie very similar to any other romantic movies that hit the box office. This might reflect that youngs ones are more inclined to new age romance and had related themselves with various situation that was shown on the big screen.

If I look back my youth days, I never seen or heard of such situation in earlier times. There were many movies already made in similar concept or storyline. But people never shown their emotional outburst in full public view. Over the years the situation has worsen and now the youth have came out in full public view by creating ruckus inside the theatre. Even I went pass those days, but not seen any of such incident before. Here is one social media link that sums up the few of emotional drama happened inside the movie theatre.

It does outlined the fact that these nibba-nibbi audiences have related themselves with some of the emotional scene. Be it betrayal or romantically involvement. These romantic movies can create a safe space for viewers to experience and express emotions they might not normally feel comfortable expressing in everyday life. People have varying emotional responses to movies, influenced by personality, past experiences, and individual sensitivity. Some individuals may be more prone to crying during movies than others. Watching a movie can be a vicarious social experience, allowing viewers to feel emotions and connect with characters without directly experiencing the events. Filmmakers often use specific techniques, like close-up shots of actors crying, dramatic music, and emotionally charged dialogue, to amplify the emotional impact of a scene and elicit a tearful response from the audience. This can be particularly impactful where characters experience intense love, loss, or joy.

The number of youth reaction is what bothering me. But this emotional outburst might help them get over the pain and may look ahead the life with a new dimension. May be they won't repeat the mistakes that make their heart broken, or they start afresh new relationship with more experince and maturity. Every event matters but not to make the situation #cringey.

In good faith - Peace!!
