I agree with both of you but the flipside of that, especially if you're producing, is that you get lost in the minutae of music and forget how little of it really matters to the majority of people. I used to produce IDM stuff and just got locked into this punishing cycle of trying to reinvent the wheel every time I made music, producing the most angular, obscure tracks then being really disappointed when my music failed to connect with people. When I started going to free parties frequently about four years ago, on of the things that impressed me was the functionality of the music, and the way that the artists agenda wasn't tolerated at all. It was all about the dancers, they were in charge aesthetically.
And once you get into the vibe of free parties, normal clubs start to become really boring. Everyone acts the same, no-one stands out, there's no random office furniture, no dogs running around, etc etc. You miss the edge of it. That said I do tend to avoid parties that are heavily psytrance or breakcore, cos it's not really my bag.
