Found some stuff. This guy says, it has little to do with the performance, but is a contagion: http://rsif.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/10/85/20130466 This one talks about the science of applause: https://science.howstuffworks.com/innovation/science-questions/science-behind-spread-of-applause.htm People who attend classical arts (ballet, symphony) actually disagree on whether applauding mid-performance is good: http://www.roh.org.uk/news/debate-what-do-you-think-of-mid-performance-applause On Broadway, over recent years, there have been complaints about too many standing ovations, to the point this New Yorker article had to defend them: https://www.newyorker.com/culture/cultural-comment/in-defense-of-the-standing-ovation I don't know if any of these articles provide answers, but they may be "food for thought". Look up why some LOVE loud music. interesting when you actually read WHY some think louder is better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as other tastes, you couldn't be more wrong. One can also twist that and say some are so encrusted with their own ideas of what any of those places should be that they ( as you say ) can't experience other possible tastes. I do not find it "natural" when the entire majority of DCI, all in one season, leave uniforms and headgear behind and adopt show-specific costumes.

Now I'm usually disappointed by the lack of excitement in audiences and feel like the standing ovations at the end are weaker and come out of obligation. Does anyone agree and maybe know what has changed? Am I crazy? (please feel free to tell me) Last week, we were complaining about too much screaming from fans. I do not think the audience culture has changed since last week. Response just varies from one show to another. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironically, it may well be that the audiences most plugged into DCI are the ones least likely to be impressed with what they see on the field. Imagine showing up to a show, today, and having no clue what any corps is performing. Id say this is what dci was before the Internet. Now, in Broken Arrow, I’d guess the vast majority of that crowd has seen almost all of these shows at least once, possibly more than once. its kind of how we now judge Star Wars films. Everything is measured in the context of the greatest sci fi films of all time. Imagine seeing the latest Star Wars film 30 years ago!

MikeRapp Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Btw every live event is experiencing the same thing. Pro sports is totally different in the age of television and the Internet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people's natural levels of applause is very loud too. While others... well... not so much. Scientists are unclear why some think soft applause is better.

I'm not sure that is even the case. Watch the bootleg crowd-sourced videos of Bloooo's show on youtube, and there is still a reaction to the fake hit in the opener (even in the latest shows), as though they didn't know that was coming. I bet less than half are still seeing the shows for the first time. Edited July 24, 2018 by Precious Roy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
