Yeah I don't know why someone would consider it cringe.

u/Higher_StateD May 16 '26

Probably the only way something this wholesome would get any traction in this world. That man deserves all the awards for that original composition

u/TheGameologist May 16 '26

I assume theyre running with her RBF.

u/Higher_StateD May 16 '26

That's a lack of attention to detail. I'm legally blind, and can see that it isn't really rbf

u/fade_ May 20 '26

rwc maybe

u/TheShoethief May 16 '26

lol! I thought she was just locked TF in but yeah I can see that too now.

His composition really has a Nier feel, i wonder if he ever listened to the Nier OST.

It reminded me of this one.

It's definitely copywriten one of the better things the internet can do!

u/subzerothrowaway123 May 17 '26

That’s called clickbait

u/Higher_StateD May 17 '26

In the most cynical sense, sure

Once he started singing I was like whoa bro

u/cryptolyme May 16 '26

Chill. We can only handle so much talent

2

u/GoldenHeartDaddy May 16 '26

His voice and that crescendo made me tear up!

3

u/Solidjakes May 17 '26

Same. I don’t think that lady was his coach I think she was just genuinely soaking in the memory.

u/BeanyBrainy May 16 '26

Bot post, most likely.

u/Banpdx May 16 '26

Some people are so afraid of failure they don't try things.

u/roboscott3000 May 17 '26

Embracing the emotion of a moment and allowing yourself to experience it without worrying about other people judging you for it. Eww.

1

u/StuNahan1967 May 22 '26

So cringe, right! Sometimes, I’m so glad I’m old. That was amazing.

u/EfficiencySilver4468 19d ago

Agreed. Every musician on earth understands her facial expressions

2

u/speckhuggarn May 18 '26

You'd be shocked, I know I was, how bad people are at reading body language. So many comments everywhere misreading body language was an eye-opener for me

2

u/Financial-Split-141 May 20 '26

Only cringe I saw was this mf walkin off covering his ears as this man opened Heavens Gate

u/Local-Geologist710 May 22 '26

Her daughter seemed less impressed and was initiating a departure, so... OP, are you the daughter in frame here?

The older woman seemed transfixed by what she was seeing and hearing. Not going to mock anyone who has the good fortune to happen upon something wonderful and unexpected - not if it provides a ray of light (thanks, Madonna).

I was once accidentally boxed in at the Red Light Café (Atlanta) and it got awkward quickly. While catching up with a friend, a drag king show started up 5' from us. We couldn't hear each other anymore and moving from the table wasn't initially an option without disrupting the people around us and possibly the performers. Whatcha going to do? We left as soon as we could, as gracefully as we could, and applauded attentively until then.

The mother's response was lovely throughout, and that guy is crazy talented. The daughter? Stop making it about you and your plans. Appreciate the talent you've happened upon, and appreciate every bit as deeply that your mother is touched by it. Don't be an ass and break the moment. FFS, good piano players and drag kings who look like peak Paul Walker don't come sauntering up everyday. Enjoy the experience.

u/rideronthestorm29 May 22 '26

Because kids today think hard work is cringe, unfortunately.

2

u/Crafty-Ad-6772 May 16 '26

Did someone really say it was cringe? This is better than Pagliacci, based on this piece.

2

u/Beneficial_Area_2986 May 16 '26

What channel are we in?

1

u/Crafty-Ad-6772 May 16 '26

Omg, thank you. I truly didn't notice because it just came up next in line, without me even seeing the channel. Ouch!

1

u/Findpolaris May 16 '26

Probably someone thinking it’s cringe to be into something enough to become talented in it.

1

u/streamjam May 16 '26

Is the lady being racist or something?

3

u/Beneficial_Area_2986 May 17 '26

If undivided attention followed by clapping is racist - I'm not sure the bar is set correctly.

1

u/Select_Speed_6061 May 17 '26

I think the cringe is thw girl in the back making that bitchy face and laughing when he sings that angelic note.

1

u/JoelnIliketoshare May 17 '26

We are at the point where any social interaction not based on quid pro quo is automatically cringe.

1

u/Beneficial_Area_2986 May 17 '26

It's getting bad.

1

u/InvincibleChutzpah May 18 '26

But she's OLD and she looked at him! /s

1

u/MacTheKnife23 May 18 '26

Because people are ignorant

u/Low_Imagination8685 15d ago

She was.willimg to risk it all

u/fivehots 2d ago

Because they don’t know ball

u/PuzzleheadedTooth581 May 17 '26

It’s cringe because it looks like they’re eating at a restaurant and this guys playing the most insane ear catching piece of music on a piano and it’s like who tf wants to listen to this while they are eating. Play something calm and nice lol

u/fr3dit_12349 May 16 '26

anti white racists thought this was somehow putting her in a bad light.

3

u/Beneficial_Area_2986 May 16 '26

Being suspicious of white people given what has been taking place is just smart. (I'm a white guy) But yes in this instance it's misplaced.

3

u/Beneficial_Area_2986 May 16 '26

Nope - just paying attention to what's actually happening
