it's way up there with using 'cringe' unironically
Meh cringe can be effective as a descriptor, but it's cringe to call people cringe as a personal attack. I've described situations as very "cringe-inducing."
Cringe is a thing, but it's way too common that people use their own self-consciousness as an excuse to try to shame people who are just enjoying themselves on their own corner.
Most definitely. I’m more distinguishing it from calling someone an NPC, which has no valid use  other than to dismiss or denigrate.
