This is stupid. I’m pretty sure it’s still acceptable to sing badly.
I kinda agree, you are “allowed” to sing or dance or paint just because you want to and not to get good at it, nobody is going to yell at you for that.
But on the other hand I feel like a large amount of people won’t even try something for fear of being bad at it. I don’t think they explicitly think of it this way but “the only point of doing something is to be good at it” is the implication of that attitude.
(That’s not to say that you shouldn’t seek to improve your skills if that’s something you enjoy. Just that ‘trying to get better’ isn’t a prerequisite for doing anything at all. You can have fun and enrich your life while sucking at something.)
The problem is in your head. If you do it for money you need to be skilled. If you do it for fun, no one cares, go visit a karaoke bar and have fun!
I don’t think this is a gotcha - yes the problem is in their head but it’s not like it manifested there by magic. It’s just another way social media makes us think we have to be perfect at everything for it to be worth showing to the world. Influencers try to simultaneously be relatable but also impossibly perfect, warping your view.
