"On a show, there's a certain scene where a person is being portrayed playing a guitar for tips with a cup hanging from their guitar and walking through a crowded train. All the passengers are shunning, cringing, eye rolling, and mocking. This portrayal was perplexing and a little disgusting. Is this what society thinks of a busker? This is someone who actually has a creative talent and is putting themselves out there in a very judgemental world."
"They may not have needed the money either. This person was actually taking action to produce opportunities. Playing an instrument with their own talent, that they took the time to learn. I admire that. Now for sure, I'm not into anyone doing anything for the sake of seeking attention which the majority of the population is needy that way. Everything is better now these days with AI, and computer generated art though!"
A person plays guitar for tips while walking through a crowded train and passengers shun, cringe, roll their eyes, and mock. The scene conveys perplexity and disgust toward public mockery of a busker. The performer demonstrates genuine creative talent and initiative by using practiced skill to create opportunities, possibly without financial necessity. Admiration is expressed for the performer's courage and dedication. There is criticism of attention-seeking behavior by many people. Sarcasm is used to condemn the replacement of real artistry with AI and computer-generated work. Loud phone audio without headphones on public transit and at work is condemned as inconsiderate.
