This blogpost is about +none of that. It is about a song that is cringe to _me_, even though +I only ever heard it once. + +Cue ten-year-old me. My elementary school took all the students to +a theater. It was probably Teacher's Day, hence the afternoon off. There +was neither movie or play, just an assortment of performances to varying +degrees of entertainment. If I remember correctly, there was a magician +who claims to be related to Liu Qian. I had no idea what she was doing. + +At some point the host (That Guy) decided to sing an ode to our teachers. +It was a rendition of a very mainstream pop song. I did not know, but +I was about to hear _the_ cringiest song. The verse is some generic pickup +lines and the chorus goes (translated): + +> My beloved teacher, I love you +> Let me walk into your world, and be together with you +> My beloved teacher, I love you +> I will do anything for you forever, in this life and the next + +At this point we discovered that this was exactly the original song, but +with the word "teacher" instead of "girl". Not only that, we were all +asked to sing along to the "I love you". I might have cooperated (oops). +What's worse, the teachers were present, which adds to the cringe factor. + +By changing one word, That Guy managed to transform an otherwise innocent +romantic song into pure horror. Let me clarify. I do _not_ want to walk +into my teacher's world. I do _not_ want to be "together" with my +teachers. They're real nice, yeah, but that doesn't mean I will "do +anything" or reincarnate myself for them, no thanks. + +The whole theater was filled to the brim with cringe. I wonder how they +approved that song. They had one program to celebrate Teacher's Day, and +they celebrated in the worst way possible. + +The difference between this song and memes is that memes are funny. It's +just cringe. And it is no longer possible to recreate it. I can tell this +story to you as a joke, and you'd be like, "haha, the song sure is +terrible", but you can't experience the damage it did to a pool of kids. diff --git a/docs/shitpost/index.md b/docs/shitpost/index.md index fb4da31..2fc0998 100644 --- a/docs/shitpost/index.md +++ b/docs/shitpost/index.md @@ -12,3 +12,4 @@ precious time you could've spent more wisely elsewhere: - [The Egg is Flat](flat_egg) - [Haiku collection 2](haiku_2) - [Writing A Blogpost Without Using Backspace](no_backspace) +- [Cringiest song I've ever heard](cringiest_song) -- cgit v1.2.3
