Viral Post Sparks Debate Over Provocative Performances at School Festivals
A recent post on the Pann forum has garnered widespread attention with the title, “Why have school festivals become like this?” accompanied by images of a group of four girls presumed to be high school students.
The post, amassing over 50,000 views, has sparked a heated debate about the nature of performances at school festivals.
The original poster wrote, “Some students take the stage alone, performing bold dances like twerking to draw attention, while provocative dances and removing outer clothing seem to have become the norm.”
The post has elicited mixed reactions, with some expressing concern over the appropriateness of such performances in a school setting, while others argue it reflects the younger generation’s self-expression. The issue has fueled online discussions about the balance between freedom of expression and responsibility at school events.

- It was the same in the 2010s and 2000s too. Don’t exaggerate.
- It’s been like that for ages, lol. Why hasn’t it changed? Those dance club girls always go on stage with that “hey boys, am I sexy? Getting turned on?” kind of expression—it’s honestly so guilty-looking, lol. They seem the most excited when doing choreography that emphasizes hips or booty, totally lost in it. It’s always the pick-me types who act like that. The ones who go to college after being in dance clubs usually end up living with their boyfriends right away.
- It just looks so cheap. (Though in real life, people probably flatter them like “Your stage was amazing!”)
- Seriously looks cheap.
- Filming full-body fancams, editing their bodies, and posting them on Reels—this is peak “pick-me” insanity, lol. And even writing things like “Karina from ○○ High School” in the caption? That’s just unreal.
As the debate continues online, it remains unclear whether schools will begin to impose stricter performance guidelines, or embrace the shifting landscape of student self-expression.
