If you can believe it, it was once considered rude to stop strangers on the street by shoving a microphone in their face. Now it’s part of daily life. If you’ve spent more than five minutes on TikTok, you know how prevalent man-on-the-street videos have become.

In fact, they’re so popular that there are even sub-genres of them.

Nowadays, we don’t just accept this man-on-the-street culture, we long for it. Instead of viewing ourselves as normal human beings who just want our privacy, we all see ourselves as hidden talents yet to be discovered.

Take me back to a simpler time, and please, if you see me on the street, don’t talk to me.
