Was once sightreading a difficult 20th-century piano piece (slowly and rather poorly) and my dad walked in and said "Are you... composing?"
Using this as a start: what are your favorite examples of unconscious/unforced dad-or-mom shade about your musical tastes? Just something said immediately or off the cuff. Spill all your secrets!
I want to say, when I was a kid, shortly after we got cable, we were watching MTV (obviously back when they actually played music videos) and something by Aerosmith was playing.
My father, walking through the room said, "Is that Mick Jagger? No, wait, not ugly enough. Can't be him."

I agreed to sing music I don't know in a quartet tomorrow morning and I'm lousy at sightreading so my kid is recording the bass line for me on the harp to practice on the drive there. Having a kid old enough and skilled enough at something to be able to lean on them for help is WILD and I love it.

I'm so happy I can still punch above my weight in DDR below the gimmicky 16+range, or sightreading.
I somehow 2-0'd PolloX at the MomoCon DDR tournament first round top 8 while sightreading a 15.
...Then I got destroyed on LIGHTW8 and Bostic300 on new(er A3+) content. GGs they are INSANE

What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders?
Many traveling music shows like videogame soundtrack concerts are performed by local musicians sightreading (or having 1 rehearsal) over a pre-recorded track.

Lots of artists sharing info already.
So antiques industry (in which I previously worked) instead!
Most old stuff doesn’t have much $ value. Unless it’s very early (pre 1860 at least), in exceptional condition, AND rare it’s meh.

a woman who despite jetlag and not seeing some of the music until literally the soundcheck (and sightreading it once before playing it in the concert) just had a great orchestra concert!

I see you play the violin. Would you like to try something like a bigger, mellower violin? Isn't that nice?

I vibehacked a fun little sight reader app that runs in browser. Works with MIDI in Chrome; you play and if you get all the notes right you go to the next level of complexity. It doesn't save any data to a server, it just is. ftrain.github.io/sightreading/ (Source at github.com/ftrain/sight...)
