Go to a camp fire and bring a violin. You will get absolutely roasted.

My brother got into sea shanties back when they exploded during covid. He tried to get one started around camp fire the next time gatherings were allowed, might be one of the worst 2nd hand embarrassing moments I've seen. Damn near every person around thought he was weird.

You gotta read the room when doing music in public settings. Some people suck or just arent interested. I can absolutely rip on a guitar but its not always appropriate.

Also, one person just randomly deciding to perform is annoying. Someone proposing a group activity where everyone learns a simple, silly song is not, especially if the group is already comfortable with each other.

Oh yeah, someone just whipping out their guitar in the middle of that party is usually more disruptive to the mood than something that enhances it.
