my hot take is that even though portal is a masterpiece this song is so cringe because i associate it with unfunny “the narwhal bacons at midnight” type redditors

I feel like the association of Portal with that era and that type of person, even though I think most of them probably became different people with age, makes the song a little harder to enjoy. Sorry to the composer, it is not your fault. Similarly, I think maybe the same thing happened with Undertale. I think I played before the fandom got a bad reputation, so it and its songs are not quite tainted in my mind, but if I came in after I saw the fandom, I might like the work less through no fault of the composer.

You need to get out more.
The song is a masterpiece on it’s own.

the counterpoint to me not liking a song from a Video Game because it of its association with Internet Culture has to be something other than “get out more”

No, it’s valid because the reason you claim for it to be bad in itself is kinda cringe
