[ SLANG ][ REACTION_CONTENT ][ NOUN ]
A compilation video specifically curating someone's most embarrassing past clips or posts, distinct from a thirst edit by being mocking rather than complimentary.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"Someone made a whole cringe edit of his old videos and it's somehow both brutal and hilarious."
LORE & ORIGIN
Extends 'cringe' into a specific, widely-copied video-editing genre, the same way 'thirst-edit'/'main-character-edit' formalized other reactions into edited content.
