"Squidward flute" made me cringe so hard I almost passed out. God please tell me none of you are actually that lame

no one is. this is the most ridiculous caricature I've ever seen and the immense snobbery of the so-called musician is unbearable. no one calls cellos violins. no one says Squidward flute or plinky plonk. literally everyone knows what a saxophone is, no one says careless whisper, which hasn't been nearly as popular and ubiquitous as it was decades ago. i wouldn't be surprised if fewer people know about careless whisper than they do about epic sax guy from Eurovision.
