These kids really suck at music
I’m not really sure where I wanted to go with this update, but I think asserting that “me inserting a recorder into my ass and farting would not only sound better, but would also be a lot less painful,” is a good start.
These kids suck at music. All of them. There is not one talented child in this video yet the parents are clapping it up like wind-up monkeys with cymbals. That drummer is off beat and horrible, the recorders are choppy and out of harmony, the choreography on that Asian ensemble is out of place and weird, and the saxophone melodies are boring and dumbed down to an almost unbearable extent. Why are you clapping and supporting this? Beethoven was slapped every time he made a mistake as a child, and wrote some of the most beautiful music as a result. You’re applauding kids who can barely put together “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star?”

8 seconds. That’s all I could watch. But if it’s good enough for bull riding I should be proud right?

Exactly. Watching children have fun is a lot like bull riding: It’s so much more fun when you’re drunk and you’re not in Texas where you can practice sodomy and abortion like…oh wait wait, I’m cramming too many thoughts into one message. Ending post now.

I learned 3 things from skimming through this video (More than 10 minutes? Seriously? No thank you.):
1. Watching a bunch of elementary school kids doing whatever is barely tolerable when I’m watching my own kid participate in whatever awful thing is going on; it’s agonizing when it’s other people’s kids entirely;
2. Parents who are too damned stupid to set their YouTube videos to private shouldn’t be allowed to own computers, own video recording equipment, or even have kids;
3. This bunch of 8-year-olds with recorders are more talented than the band in my high school was (exempting a couple of band members). I’m not paying the kids a compliment here. Have you ever heard of “damning with faint praise?”

I love our Daughter but you are right on the money with #1. I do not look forward to stupid plays and Christmas school shit, etc. I do not want to be in your Dad club, I don’t care that your kid is first lobster, no, I do not want to watch your kids video.
I will patiently tolerate these things so in 20 years I can have grown up conversations with our Daughter.

I think the problem is that the parents who think this shit is cute will pretty much think that EVERYBODY will think this shit is cute. “How could anyone not like this,” they’ll say. So they’ll post these videos on YT for people like me to laugh at. The standards for children’s competence in America is pretty low, and if we keep coddling kids who ARE PLAYING TWINKLE TWINKLE LITTLE STAR AT AGE 8, we’re going to grow a batch of dud kids.
If I ever have kids (I won’t), I’m going to work them until Child Labor gets involved and tells me to stop selling their hair to cancer patients. Until then, stop treating kids like incompetent morons and cheer for things that actually are worthy of being cheered for.

Christ. This is awful.
No, I didn’t watch the video. This is one case in which I’m certain that my imagination can’t possibly conjure something as bad as the real thing.

Kids are gross. I don’t need to watch the video to know this.
I hope they all burn.
