One generation’s chic is another generation’s cringe.

“Sex and the City” started streaming on Netflix last spring, making the show, which aired its final episode on HBO in 2004, easily accessible to a younger audience.

When the series premiered in 1998, protagonist Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) and her gal pals — Samantha Jones (Kim Cattrall), Charlotte York (Kristin Davis) and Miranda Hobbes (Cynthia Nixon) — were beloved and celebrated for their sexual freedom, over-the-top fashion and frank discussions about their lives and the men in them.

But Gen Z isn’t charmed by Carrie’s stylish wardrobe, witty turns of phrase and romantic escapades — and they’re taking to social media to lampoon her antics.

“She cheats on Aidan, begs for him to take her back and cries that he ‘has to forgive’ her! She essentially stalks Natasha for most of the seasons while bashing her every step of the way,” said Emma Christopher, a 19-year-old college student in Alexandria, Alabama.

Worst of all, Christopher said, Carrie has an affair with a married man — the iconic Mr. Big, played by Chris Noth, after he weds Natasha — yet she “creates the narrative, time and time again, that she, in fact, is the victim.”

The younger generation finds Bradshaw so cringe that when you type her name in the TikTok search bar, options such as “carrie bradshaw cringe compilation,” “carrie bradshaw embarrassing moments” and “why is carrie bradshaw cringe” immediately pop up.

Their biggest issue seems to be her on-again, off-again relationship with Big, which spanned six seasons and bled into the “And Just Like That” spinoff, in which Big dies in the first episode.

“Carrie consistently put up with Big’s disrespect and could never see the reality of their relationship,” lamented Eva Tasmin, 30, a psychologist from London. “I believe he’s attracted to her but socially embarrassed by her and never had any intention of getting serious with her.”

Media Tafreshi, a 26-year-old marketing manager in Minnesota, first watched the show as a teen and more recently on Netflix.

She admits that intially she found Carrie and Big’s relationship exciting and rooted for them to be together, but as an adult now views it as “toxic.”

“Big was emotionally unavailable and made it clear multiple times that he didn’t want a committed relationship,” Tafreshi said. “Carrie’s persistence only prolonged the pain for both of them.”

Others take it a step further. From the perspective of Big’s young wife Natasha, the show is a “horror movie,” according to TikToker Moodsfor3va.

“She was 25, she should’ve been at the club but instead she was being stalked by her geriatric husband’s unhinged situationship,” they write in a post over a scene in which Natasha, Big and a cowboy hat-clad, nearly topless Carrie meet awkwardly at a party in the Hamptons.

Another TikToker, @thelongconnn, posts clips declaring “Carrie is the Worst.” In one post viewed 1.4 million times, they take issue with Carrie crowning the usually demure Charlotte “Miss Atlantic Slutty” when she dresses provocatively during a casino getaway.

“For a sex columnist, Carrie sure sex shamed everyone all the time,” reads the caption.

Others just let Carrie’s cringe speak for itself. The TikToker @upset.homegirl posts videos of herself holding up a tablet playing the show’s most over-the-top scenes as she parrots Parker’s lines.

Two scenes in particular seem to attract the ire of younger viewers.

In Season 2, a beret-clad Carrie brings french fries over to Big’s apartment to welcome him back from a Paris business trip and tell him she’s willing to move there to be with him. He tells her she would need to be moving for herself, and a massive fight ensues.

In the Season 4 finale, a similar moment has Carrie delivering a pizza to Big’s place and uttering, “Get it while it’s hot” in a faux-coquettish voice

On one post featuring the clip, a TikTok user called the scene Carrie’s “humiliation ritual,” while another noted, “Like leave him alone girl he doesn’t want you.”

But even fans who worshipped the show back in the day admit that Gen Z has a point.

Jules Armstrong, 39, co-host of the “Lasting Looks” pop culture podcast, loved the show as a teen.

“It was the coolest thing ever and Carrie was our idol,” she once said on TikTok.

But now, the millennial sees things — especially the Carrie-Big relationship — differently.

“They were both toxic toward each other and they did not belong together,” she told The Post.

But she can’t help feel a bit wistful about the new perspective on Carrie.

“She was such an icon to us,” she posted recently, then added a plea to Gen Z: “Please tell me you like her outfits at least.”

Others note that Carrie was never meant to be a perfect protagonist.

“Carrie has always been overly dramatic and a tad narcissistic,” said Chelsea Fairless, the 40-year-old co-host of the popular “Every Outfit” fashion podcast and an “SATC” expert.

“Carrie was never written as a perfect, uncomplicated character. She was always flawed.”
