She probably bribed him to do it, sayings things like: "But we are going to make money, I’ll buy you something with it!" And if she didn’t have to bribe him to do it, you know who he was raised by. And if you say that they need money, she can afford giving her son violin lessons, and speakers. Not to mention their clothes, makeup, and so much more. Side note: They probably used that audio, since there was a beat. So there would be an excuse to have a speaker there. The kid should be defended, but people are defending him for the wrong reasons.

The people defending that violin kid scamming scares me, especially as a (visual) artist, art is stolen so much daily and there's never been a solution to it. And if the internet is teaching younger generations that stealing someone's work is ok, I can't even imagine the amount of art theft there'll be in the future

[@xtwinni]

I mean, I'm gonna defend the kid. He's a child, a minor. There's clearly an adult with him, that person is the one where all the anger should be directed at. And I'm sorry, but the copyright music is the least of the problems here. The main question people should be wondering is why the hell is this adult using a child to busk on the streets. It's like exploitation basically, and is similar to the kind of human trafficking that often happens in first world countries. This isn't about stealing work, this is about why the fuck is an adult doing that with a kid, why can't that adult provide for the kid on their own, etc etc. These are the concerns that run through my mind when I see that vid, the music is like last priority.

[@starrynights5855]

@@xtwinni true that is a good point, I'm not saying it's the kid's fault, because they most likely don't know better, and it's true that the adult is at fault, because they clearly seem like a guardian / or have some kind of authoritative power and influence which should not have been used to gain attention or for their own profit. And yea you're right, manipulation and exploitation are bigger problems than art theft, however, I'm saying from my point of view as being a visual artist for years and have been on the internet, that I've seen art theft daily so it comes to my mind more often than probably some one who is like an engineer or something. Again I'm not saying it's the kid's fault, but the adult who is teaching these ideals and the people in the tik tok comments saying that it's ok, cause not only does this encourge art theft but the whole manipulation and exploition issues as people will most likely see it as a way to get some money without consequence or cost, and everyone knows that a lot people will practically do anything for money.

Well, maybe that kid himself agreed to such things, you can't know for sure. Anyway he is in that same age when you actually start to use your own brains.

You're working yourself up over nothing, mate. All this undue recognition these fake musicians are receiving really isn't worth that much. In some cases these aren't even their tiktok vids to monetize. And those that do monetize them, well... you can pretty easily google how much that amount of likes/subscribers is worth, and it's not exactly a windfall. And as buskers, I doubt if they're pulling in more than a 50$ a day with their routines. And it's not sustainable. You can't keep up that same act in the same spot all day every day and make a fortune. They'll eventually get chased out of that parking lot by a security guard and have to hump their way to some other location, set up, and do it all again. Outside in the heat, with bugs, and annoying people and cars. Are you really jealous of all that? If so, you can always fire up TikTok yourself... real musicians are also permitted to use it. Get yourself out there and rake up those sweet sweet likes if it's so easy. As a real musician you can rest easy that you'll not be stealing anything or scamming anyone. But ain't nobody getting rich here with any of this stuff. They're scrapping by with their little show, and some people throw them some likes/looks and forget about them. After one or two videos they never click on them again. It's just fodder. It's not even the same audience who would ever watch real musicians video (because it's obviously fake), so it's not as though they're really poaching the looks from real musicians. They're scrapping up likes/coins from a totally different group of people... people who want a story and performance. It's not sustainable, lucrative or scalable, because as soon as anyone started making more than a few dollars doing it, and tried to take their act off the curb, they would get sued/fired/etc. What are they gunna do, sell out Carnegie Hall? Give a TED talk? Get invited to meet the president? No. This is just scavenging, and can never evolve to more than that. Don't let it bother you. As a real musician this presents no threat to you.

Parents teaching their children to act immorally is not uncommon, at least not uncommon in the places I've lived here in the US. Granted, it's probably not uncommon worldwide, but to comment on what I've seen, I used to work a number of security jobs for different businesses and department stores. I've seen parents stuff merchandise in their kid's clothing. I've seen parents outright instructing their kids how to look for, and avoid, security cameras. And maybe in the grand scheme of things, a few people lose a little money from being swindled, or a rich business loses a couple hundreds dollars in merchandise, but the real horror is that kids are being raised to act in ways that will at some point land them in jail, or at least before a judge.

I saw a new electric violinist playing in my city the other day, replacing a regular busker at the same location who I know plays real (the old busker sounds the same with electric and acoustic violin). It was tricky because this new busker clearly knows how to play. Her left hand and bowing matches most of the notes and has legit vibrato. I thought it was real in the at first look and gave her money for the beautiful music. However, after staying for a little longer, I started to notice small mismatches between her playing and the music. I felt being lied to, but was hastened to confront her because her case is different than the obvious fakers showed by 2set. She was actually playing the notes (or most of it). If you tell her to turn of the audio and play unaccompanied, she can probably do an excerpt with no problem. She just masked her likely flawed playing with perfect recordings. So it is more like lip-sync and auto-tone during live singing concerts? Wonder what others think about this.

i think that ruins the idea of busking. busking is all about getting immediate feedback for your work-whether it's good or bad. if all she wanted was to showcase her work, she should just record it and put it on youtube. when a person busks, there is an unspoken agreement between the musician and the audience: i put my heart out on the line for you, and if i'm good, you'll let me know. to me, it's more like watching a stage play vs watching a tv show. if i wanted to see a perfect performance, i'd watch something that was filmed and edited. audiences go to see a stage play because they want to see how the performer acts live, and the performer gets the gratification of a live reaction.

The scam buskers also take money away from real buskers too, those who find out they're scammed are less likely to give money to any busker in the future.

[@Horizqn_]

Yeah!

[@FlamingCockatiel]

Buskers should have to test for a license to prove their ability. I wish it weren't so, but it was harder (impossible, even) to fake busking ability back in the day.

why are the “guitarists” obsessed with slapping the strings after playing 2 notes every time

[@g6rf]

It’s like they’re playing the bass- **summons davie504** oh shit

[@-simply--boba-9342]

as someone who has just started guitar, a brother who has been playing guitar for 7 years, and a dad who is a musician. They slap the guitar to get a certain sound. But they do it quite often 😂 in certain places and sounds it sounds a lot better than chords. People who play the bass do that. But in a different style.

The problem with this is that they give fake "musicians" the clout, while real musicians who have actually studied and are excellent in their respective instruments (nikocado avocado with the violin for example), have to find other ways to get that exposure, payment and praise. I believe he spiraled down to what he is today because he didn't get enough attention for being good at what he likes, and now he has to act like how he acts right now because it is the drama and slowly killing himself with the amount of food he's eating, that gave him exposure. Edit: this is just my opinion, sorry if you dont agree. I dont support nikocado but you have to admit it's kinda sad.

[@austin8292]

I will agree that the real musicians are getting buried by the fake musicians, and it is very sad that this happening. I hope that they are blind to how badly they affecting real artist because if they know they are truly horrible people. Same with the music industry. The stuff that sells is absolute garbage, but the problem is that the garbage sells. So while there are people that want to make real and original music, they are being buried by these people that make garbage and are obviously just doing it for the money.

I’m learning piano and it’s so annoying when you learn a song and perfect it, especially if you can improv the right hand and it still sounds amazing and a TikToker walks in and is like “Bro I could learn that in five minutes- *pushes you off YOUR OWN PIANO, and proceeds to play a simplified industry baby, missing every other note and playing with only one finger.*” (Especially annoying if they think they are better at piano than you)

[@fire_fux]

"Why do people do this?" Well it gets likes. "Why does it get likes?" 1.) “Man is a stupid creature who would rather fight than use its brain.” 2.) People are lazy/instant gratification addicts and want the "easy" way to everything. Whether that is learning to play an instrument/particular song, or watching a video. No one's willing to put in the time or effort for the pre-requisite delayed gratification. (Myself included much of the time) 3.) See 1 but omit fight and insert Brian Reagan eye cross gif.

As a piano player, I feel PAIN just watching those videos because of how simple they make it, and make it sound like the actual song when it actually sounds like random keys playing.

I've recently encountered someone doing a violin scam once before actually. Back in August, I went to a store and someone was "playing" on their violin to gain money, but then I saw there was moments where in reality, she wasn't actually playing anything and she even disconnected her Bluetooth for it lol I understand that people sometimes do what they have to for money, but the lack of moral and throwing away your integrity to do so is so much worse..

As a Classical/Jazz Violinist, I’m so glad you guys made this video because recently, I was driving to the grocery store to get some food for the house. When I parked the car I saw an electric violinist playing pop songs that sounded like a MIDI file/karaoke track. I saw a sign that said my father is poor and we need money something like that. I never seen a man wearing JORDANS and playing an ELECTRIC violin for a bargain. When he played Just Give Me a Reason from P!NK, I saw his bow sliding to the fingerboard, his vibrato was off, he needs to fix his bow hold, his money is in a cup on the violin. Not to mention, he even played on a rest on that song. It’s just so embarrassing and SACRILEGIOUS that a young thug is fake playing IN FRONT OF A GROCERY STORE. So help me PLEASE DO NOT fake play an instrument that children and beginner adults can see this as an absolute reality.

I just wanna point out that there is no correlation between your clothing and how much money you have. They might be the only piece of expensive clothing they have. If people are fake playing an instrument is because we have this shitty mentality that to receive money you need to offer something, so simply putting there the sign wouldn't give them any money and they probably need them.

[@wakingtheworld]
