I feel the same way about electronic music. There are lots of electronic artists I love to listen to and some I love to dance to, but I don't find it compelling as a live performance. It reminds me of being in high school and watching my friends play video games. This isn't true of electronic music with a live component like MEN. I could watch JD Samson play with her laptop all night because there are live instruments and singing and theatrical elements besides lighting happening on stage.
