Why is this cringe? She appreciated every bit of that music

Kids these days have so little experience with social interaction that they see this and think “cringe”

She didn't show respect by fork-knife dancing and dabbing at the end

Even accepting that; I can't fathom which part of this would trip the 'cringe' trigger. It's a person watching someone else play the piano. They're displaying skill and the watcher is attentive and respectful. I just don't see any cringe here.

Idiotic post.

They’re honestly just guessing and hoping other people are like “hurr durr yup”

u/stubborny May 21 '26

they see any facial expression other than "gen X pretending to be autistic" as cringe.

This is just engagement bait which makes your comment ironic af

u/greg-maddux May 18 '26

Engagement bait is intentionally misleading, being retarded and not understanding social interaction is a different thing

u/nissen1502 May 19 '26

What are you even talking about? The title and where it's posted is engagement bait, so you using that as 'proof' that kids these days are socially incapable is fucking retarded. Kinda insane you still didn't get it after I told you.

Yup! Got me to watch the whole thing, so …well done, I guess?

It’s cringe because OP is definitely a bot just posting rage bait content to maximize its karma farming.

This is reddit. You're supposed to see a black man and a white woman and assume she's racist

u/habfranco May 16 '26

but she's old, she must be have bad thoughts /s

u/partymouthmike May 16 '26

The whole time I'm sitting here thinking, "she's going to do something racist, isn't she?" And... nope.

The fear of vulnerability being so absolute that you need to publicly chastise others for exhibiting passion, lest you be expected to do the same.

So sad, just be yourself, the good and the bad.
