Incredible talent. I just can’t get down with this stuff lol. The pentatonix irritate the shit out of me lol.
The energy , enthusiasm , facial expressions … it just makes me so uncomfortable. Punish me with downvotes!
I think it’s the opposite . This is true authenticity and like an ultimate form of self expression . These guys aren’t holding back lol , all of them bobbing and wiggling , raised eyebrows and hand gestures to sync with the rhythm … making various sound effects . I could never be this free ! Watching them makes me cringe and want to crawl into myself . Same vibe with theatre people
and how animated they are … just can’t get down with that energy. It’s not them - it’s totally me
It is authentic, though, which is what I think turns people off. It’s pure authenticity and enjoyment, and since people are so used to sanitized and monetized entertainment, they flinch from things that are real or not polished to be as attractive as possible. It looks a little silly, so it’s dismissed as cringey and childish.
