Discordance

There are people who claim music is "important" to them, and who apparently don't listen to, say, Porcupine Tree albums (whole albums, not individual tracks) on their audiophile equipment for "mere entertainment".

There are also people who engage in the mindless participatory sensation of whistling, yelling and generally flailing around at concerts.

The puzzling part is that they're often the same people.

Either it's 'just a bit of fun' or it isn't, surely?
