For anyone who came of age in the late '90s/early '00s, listening to 'NSYNC was basically a rite of passage. (Unless of course you were a ride-or-die Backstreet Boys fan, in which case we don't blame you.) But when one millennial teacher recently decided to play one of the boy band's classic songs for his 7th grade class, he got put in his place real fast — and the results are pretty hilarious.
The clip was shared by Shane Frakes (aka "Mr. Frakes")
A lot of kids instantly shot it down
"It's not bad, but at the same time it's bad," one kid asserted.
"Trash (sorry)," said another.
"MOM MUSIC," declared someone else.
In fact, a lot of the comments dissed the song for basically being an old person's tune.
"My tia does this song on karaoke when she drinks," quipped someone else.
"Is this video from the 1900s?" asked another.
(Ouch — that one stung.)
Some kids went a step further with their brutal honesty
One kid simply wrote, "I hate this song," along with a sketch of himself sitting in a chair with his head in his hands.
Another said they would rather eat their own hair than listen to this song again.
But not everyone was hating on the single.
"My mom loves this song — 10/10," wrote one person.
"Why is it so catchy?" another mused.
(Answer: BECAUSE IT'S THE BEST!)
In the comments, people could not stop laughing
"It’s me, I’m the Tía," one person joked.
"Your Tia and I have that in common," someone else said.
At the same time, a lot of others got defensive.
"Mom music, the 1900's … I feel attacked," one person said.
"This video called me old in so many different ways," said someone else.
"The late 1900’s comment placed me in my nursing home early," yet another person added.
Honestly, SAME!
