NYC subway riders can't help but sing along to 'I Want It That Way'
New York City public transportation might be a hellhole, but at least it's a hellhole with good music.
On Sunday, for example, Twitter user @Wertwhile was traveling on the subway after a tough week when he encountered a shirtless man carrying a speaker. What could have been a painful moment -- someone blasting the worst possible music at the loudest possible volume -- became a beautiful one after passengers on the train joined together to croon the Backstreet Boys' famous hit, "I Want It That Way."
Look at how pure this all is:

The tweet contains at least one reference that might be unfamiliar to people outside New York City. "Showtime" is a phrase typically uttered by young buskers at the beginning of a subway dance performance. While some passengers love to see dancers spin around on poles, others understandably worry about getting kicked in the face on a moving train.
However, @Wertwhile was so touched by this particular moment that he stopped filming to take it all in.
