Yes, that's why some concert halls have seats.

When was the last time you heard loud fast percussion at a Buddhist chant
session?
I'm not decrying the idea of enjoying the sound for its own sake, and I
don't think I need any lessons in how to listen to electronic music. But I
have a stereo for that. When I go to a party it's nice to have some
interaction with other people, that's why it's called a party. When the
focus of the party is music, it's nice for some of the interaction to be
kinetic. Please pay attention to the word 'some'.
