A group of elderly guests remained unimpressed as a Gen Z dance troupe delivered a high-energy performance, exposing a clear generational divide in entertainment preferences. In a video circulating online, user @contentsbyovee questioned whether the three young dancers had misread the room, as their routine failed to capture the interest of their audience.
The event was predominantly attended by elderly guests, whose lukewarm reactions made it evident that the performance wasn’t their cup of tea. Their disengaged expressions created an awkward atmosphere, emphasizing just how out of place the modern choreography felt in that setting. Online viewers cringed on behalf of the dancers, speculating that the guests might have been put off by their attire and unconventional dance moves.
Many argued that the organizers should have brought in a traditional dance troupe instead, one that would have resonated with the audience rather than leaving them visibly disinterested.
Here are some of the reactions:
@ADA BEKE❤️ These ones should have tied wrappers and performed Atilogwu instead
@just_jessy900 The audience’s faces said it all—pure disapproval.
@b_uniqu.e Wrong audience If those girls are left alone with those elderly women, they’ll get an earful
@ble_ssing_sunday These women will definitely have some dramatic stories to tell when they get home
@female._king Regardless of the audience, what are they even wearing? A bonnet? Seriously?
@omtochi After the performance: “My daughter, come here. This thing you’re wearing and dancing in—do you think it’s okay?”
