Do the kids think excitement is cringe?

Saw contention the other night with a bunch of other bands. I'm.. kind of a big fan. I get excited. I cheer, i shout YEAH!, there was a lot of two stepping etc.

Suddenly the young guy i was standing next to, after a song ended, shouted YEEAAAAH! in my face, right after everyone else stopped cheering. He then turned back to what i presume was his gf laughing about it.

And i just have that stuck in my head. Do zoomers think that excitement is cringe? That cheering on a band you love is embarrassing in some way? What a sad way to go through life, honestly. Social media has fucked up these kids to the point where honest to god excitement at seeing a banger band is now somehow "cringe" or something. Makes me sad for that guy, honestly.
