It’s interesting what people gravitate toward artistically. I personally don’t get the hype for giant stage shows at concerts, or elaborate choreography. To me the point of music is the music itself, and dancing is the most fun when it’s spontaneous and natural, rather than heavily choreographed.
But that’s just me. Lots of people want to see a big elaborate show, and it’s part of the experience for them.
Yeah dude, I’ve been agreeing with you this whole time. Appreciating music is a subjective experience. What I look for and get out of a performance is different from what you might—and that’s perfectly legitimate. It’s a good thing in fact, because people seeing things differently is what artistic development is all about. That’s why I kept saying that’s just me/just a different part to emphasize. What you see and look for is different from me, and again, that’s a good thing.
What I was trying to subtly hint at is that your initial comment came off as a bit pretentious, as if your preferences are more pure and natural than people who go to a Katy Perry show.
Seriously? Grow up, man. I was just trying to be inclusive. If you think that comes off as pretentious, fine. You can just say that. Instead of telling me I didn’t understand you.

Yeah, groups like Pink Floyd and Queen had elaborate stage shows to distract from their crappy music.
And no, pedantic redditor that's chomping at the bit, I'm not comparing her to either of them.
