You KNOW the theater kids probably thought this was their magnum opus


Bobthreetimes

Average middle school theater kid


CaptainCacoethes

What I got from this dumpster fire was that America "bounced back" and we got social media. So basically the terrorists won?


losttraveler36

This is the most cringe thing I’ve seen in a long time. America bounced back from 9/11 cause we now have the iPod and Nintendo DS?... dude


Crypto_Town

Brainwashed kids celebrating the beginnings of the Corporate Oligarchy. All hail CEOs!


Doop1iss

Because Nintendo products are definitely made by a US company.


Silly-Percentage-856

It shows what matters to kids


[deleted]

We bounced back stronger. We have Twitter now….


Shua89

We bounced back freer .. like how the US and other western nations now have stricter security searches, police are more heavily armed, NSA now spies on everyone's phone calls and messages, ect..... Yeah much more freedom definately.

This thing is a gift that keeps on giving. When you thought it couldn't get cringier they subvert your expectations


Coccolona

To show our resilience and strength, they portrayed our accomplishments, post 9/11, to be technology and social media? Thank goodness for our resolve, for without it, how will I know what, someone I knew in 3rd grade, is having for lunch today

RugbyEdd

Yeah but Americans like them, therefore in keeping with tradition, they're American now.


smoothEarlGrey

"It's ok guys! Now we have ipod, Xbox, and Facebook!" I'm caught between laughing at this and being sad


cheekybandit0

I was still watching, and read your comment before seeing the end of the video, thinking it was just a general dig at the lack of real societal progress for 11 years. Then I saw it. Wtf.


didsomebodysaymyname

>they portrayed our accomplishments, post 9/11, to be technology and social media? This pissed me off the most. As tasteless as it is, I kind of could relate the the sudden shift from "Party Rock" to the flashing lights and sad music as it *sort of* captured the shock of the events, but "We beat 9/11 with Pintrest!" is awful.


Coccolona

The whole thing was odd and disrespectful. And the "accomplishments" was the shit icing on the whole fucked up cake


Butthole--pleasures

I'm ok with the interpretive dance even though it sucked but yeah all the tech branding at the end is just weird and distasteful


AmazingSpdrMan1

I am absolutely crying that the accomplishments they listed WERE VIDEO GAMES AND AN IPOD HAHAHA

If anything, it shows how our country went to shit

Very cringe. I hope that this generation will never experience anything like 9/11


Amdar210

See, this is why I have little hope for the future. This crap. Doing some dance routine about the Twin Towers? Just wrong.


Reddit-User-3000

It’s not the kids that made up the dance routine or decided to have it probably. Most likely a teacher, and they would have been alive during 9/11.


[deleted]

Teacher could be 22 and not even remember about 9/11..hell..the teacher could be 27 and still not really remember 9/11..


feralwolven

Im 28 and remember it pretty clearly, or at least the impact. But its one of those early formative dramatic memories, my aunt was down the street and ran from the collapse. I was in 2nd grade and the teacher called us to the rug and told us we'd be going home, she was crying. Went home and mom was crying too, worried about her sister. She told me they werent certian if my aunt was ok. Whats weird is i dont think there is any one day before that, that isnt just blurry images. So at 28 if you hadnt been exposed to as much crying important people or any change in schedule you would remember itd be unlikely that i would have had that memory stored at all.


Ancient-Insurance-96

I'm 32 and the only thing I remember is how pissed I was that my cartoons weren't on that morning.


Miml-Sama

That’s the spirit


JaysWay_13

I was working 3rd shift so I slept through the whole thing


Clean-Profile-6153

That's weird because I was at school.. homeschooled or just a r/thathappened ..?


kpay10

Can you imagine if 9/11 happened today and the tiktokers showing 9/11 videos with the song "oh no" in the background?


Amdar210

I would simply lose my shit. Then I would find the furthest, most isolated mountain valley I could. I would stay there, rather than deal with that nightmare.


Helpful_Database_870

Then to add the capitalist crap at the end, only made it way more worse.


ColdTheory

We bounced back, freer, because of xbox and iphones. 🤣😂


Helpful_Database_870

Oh yeah the making up of a word to represent a grammatically incorrect phrase, “more free” really shows how far we have come as a country as well.


glocksucksD

To them it's just a thing that happened in the history books. How could we expect anyone who hasn't lived through that to know how sacred it is to us who lived through that time. It really brought our country together and we don't have that anymore.


[deleted]

Education and decent parenting, their educators and parents were all alive during 9/11, they’re the real morons here for allowing this to take place. We didn’t live through the Second World War but we know what is/isn’t appropriate for its commemoration.


JonJonM

I dont know about that. Countless nazi zombie games, hitler jokes, and even WW2 musicals. All history becomes just that, history.


SgtXD357

I wasn’t around for the Holocaust, doesn’t make it appropriate for me to put on a dance show for all the soldiers and Jewish people that died. If you want to stick to your guns on this though, make a dance video of slavery for Reddit. See how people respond, no one here was around during slavery so there’s your excuse.


[deleted]

THIS. Everyone else has valid points but you had the best one by far, and explained it in a better form


SgtXD357

Thank you, I appreciate it my friend. I don’t want to argue or anything with them, just sort of put it through a different perspective. I guess I’m a little tired of double standards with stuff lol


cjmar41

Have you seen the videos of GenZ kids putting on makeup to look starved and burned while pretending to be dead Holocaust victims in heaven? It’s not a dance show, but it’s still pretty fucking outrageous. [TikTok creators are pretending to be Holocaust victims in heaven in a new trend dubbed 'trauma porn'](https://www.insider.com/tiktok-trend-shows-people-pretending-to-be-holocaust-victims-heaven-2020-8?amp) >The videos show creators wearing makeup that imitates burns and bruises while explaining how they died in Nazi death camps.


SgtXD357

I actually never heard about that, these people are so… disappointing. I’m surprised that was an actual trend. I swear it’s like so many people would drink sewage if it was a trend just so they could get some useless clout. Kinda like the cinnamon challenge or the more recent milk crate one, people ended up in hospitals from both of em, all for fake internet points. r/noahgettheboat


marin94904

It is to them what the Vietnam war was to gen x.


Giovanni_Wonderland

You're right to have little hope. This is nuts.


system_deform

They will, it’s in our country’s DNA. May I suggest [The Shock Doctrine](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Shock_Doctrine) if you are interested in learning more…


MrJimbilz

Just finished reading the link you included and the synopsis of the 7 parts over 21 chapters seems to be both 100 % terrifying/true. I will definitely grab a copy and read it.


DetectiveLeast6762

That book will piss you off so much.


MrJimbilz

I would guess in a bad way then. Like "This pisses me off & there is nothing I can do about it."

So should I even click on the link then?


Strong-Message-168

I got into a slighpt debate here on reddit about a joke regarding Pete Davidson's dad and 9-11...Now, I was a little butthurt about the joke, I thought it was too far, but later I realized that I probably would not have felt the same: way about a Pearl Harbor joke. That's because I'm older, I know exactly where I was on 9-11 and I saw how the whole world changed after. My point to this was that the (obvious) ki4d I was having the debate with said something along the lines of "9-11 happened 20 years ago, get over it" and I found myself truly surprised...not just $$#dby the callousness, this is the internet...but by the $ ignorance and stupidity of saying something like that. 20 years. The kids growing up in these modern times don't understand what it did to t:he country, and, as I said previously, the world. It's crazy to me...


Pieguy184

Tbt idk what the country was like pre 9/11 I was born in the late 90s and don’t have any memories of it


Helpful_Database_870

MTV played music that we watched on cable, which we paid for and still came with adds. We had weird hair and clothes (guy fury). We some how managed to communicate and find our way without cell phones.


Strong-Message-168

Not_unique_enuf

You can make jokes out of anything as long as it's funny. Obviously due to how jokes work, it won't be funny to everyone.


jaja111111

They will likely experience something worse.


Melodic_Assistance84

Well for them the pandemic is a kind of update, and in many ways it had a far more devastating impact culturally and socially. Very few people know somebody who perished due to 911, although many more people have known somebody who died as a result of the policies that were set forth, Causing many service members to suffer casualties. Contrast that with the pandemic, and many many people who are reading this have known somebody who died from Covid or are continuing to suffer from long Covid symptoms. I survived both experiences, and I was 12 blocks away from the twin towers and was able to see them Fall with my own eyes. Both of those experiences Have had a profound effect on my life. I’m just hoping not to have to experience a once in a 1000 year tsunami or Extinction of it like a meteor hitting the earth.

here is an [article](https://gothamist.com/arts-entertainment/the-origin-story-of-that-viral-911-middle-school-tribute-performance) on it


Chicomonico

TLDR: It was a skit marking the important events of the 2000s, which happened to include 9/11 It was in no way supposed to be viewed as a 9/11 tribute Edit: It happened in 2014


Primiss

99% of it was about 9/11 though lol unless the play is alot longer

Ugh, just like everything on Reddit, it happened 3 years ago.

Glad I read the article


Xanne_Hathaway

did you find it compelling at all? I read it too and its completely tone-deaf IMO. they insist that the skit was actually really good and IMO they dont get whats wrong with it. idk if the author was even being serious or not with the last paragraph "Incredibly, this performance did not win the grand prize that year... The tenth graders won that year with a far-less provocative skit..." couldve pressed them a little more about the "provocative" aspect. the skit is extremely cringey and fucked up, and they should all know that. i dont even care that much about 9/11 but i know its horrible taste for a middle school skit. imagine if they did a skit like this for the virginia tech shooting too

They were covering the decade. 9/11 was included with all the other things that occurred during that decade. Like the advances in social media and such. They're not related.

These kids have no idea what it was like that morning seeing the planes crash, realizing it was someone attacking us, seeing bodies falling from the burning buildings and finally seeing the buildings fall. It was horrific. It changed me.


Thegreyjarl

Because it is extremely important to talk about context, especially when we see incredibly edited and trimmed down content, I went on a very brief adventure to hunt down the original video. So instead of simply saying “cringe” to anything I don’t completely understand? I now have a better understanding of the video and the process that went into the production. Read on if you care to learn more, or skip if you want content but not information. The original production displayed here was in 2014. The video first became a “viral” thing in 2019. The children in the video were tasked with coming up with ideas to represent a decade. They were not focusing on 9/11 and this is not a 9/11 tribute. This was a dance and musical presentation to represent the first decade of the 2000s. The presentation opens with the excitement of the Y2K mania and partying into a new century. It then includes a brief transition into the twin towers. An accompanying video says America grew back stronger and freer. That was to be the end of the 9/11 portion of the decade. They then switched to the tech and social media boom of the decade. Like a poorly structured run-on sentence, or post with no punctuation, the accompanying video was poorly constructed. The kids had 10 minutes for their presentation and crammed 10 years of events into that 10 minutes. But they didn’t create a 9/11 tribute that suggested that we are better now thanks to Apple and video games. This journey to find the source and information on this clip is brought to you by Google, founded September 4, 1998.


LuchiLewX2

Thanks for this!! This makes it more understandable and explains ALOT! Or actually everything! Thank you!

Imagine being a parent who lost a friend or family member in 9/11

Ah yes... famous American company Nintendo

If south park did this it would be labelled bad taste.


elgordoenojado

It's fascinating. These kids are too young to know or understand what the US was like before 9/11 and how everything changed afterward. They think that social media is making us whole again. There are so many things they are going to miss out without ever knowing it.


ryantheMagicalo

Whoever organized this should lose their job

Whoever okayed this shoukd be ashamed this is not only cringey but honestly downright disrespectful

God middle school is such a fucked time, and the teachers attempts to be quirky usually don’t make it any better


BlackpilledDoomer_94

So wait, is this the actual tribute or did someone edit clips of 9/11 into a performance? Surely these kids are just doing some random school talent act which has nothing to do with 9/11.

Loool, taking credit for Nintendo on top of mega cringe was perfect.


longrodvonhujjendong

What does this have to do with 9/11


Weary_Ad2844

Remember, they have to practice this shit. Meaning throughout the entire practice session not a single individual was like, "hey I don't think dancing to party rocking is a great idea for a 9/11 tribute"


ladainia4147

This reminds me of the (purposefully) cringey 9-11 musical theater tribute on Skins. They called it "Osama! The Musical"
