Hey, it's just anthropology - like how rock fans scream at concerts while "classical" music fans sit quietly until the end of the piece. ;)

yeah, whatever gets your blood pumping, I guess.

Although, rock music induces and encourages screaming almost as a form of audience participation.
Classical music has been around for hundreds of years and, much like fine art, tends to draw a more contemplative crowd... I think that's it...

What do you say, though...

on a count of 3 or what?

Well, it wasn't always as temperate as it is now, back when it was contemporary. I think it's a class difference - entertainment for the elite versus the hoi polloi.

And yes, I grew up showing my hand on the third swing - I just opened the poll because my Scout troop prefers the fourth.
