Performative

Performative music emerged in the late 20th century as a delightful concoction of theatre and sound, where musicians realised that merely standing there with a guitar was a bit boring. Instead, they proudly displayed their interpretive dance skills, dramatic flair, and, oftentimes, an absurdly elaborate costume to match their avant-garde sound. It sounds like a spirited debate between traditional melodies and chaotic audio experiments, leaving you either mesmerised or wondering if you’ve just witnessed a musical circus gone awry.
