> promoting music would look like playing a recording of songs in public places
It is. Radio used to be it but now TikTok is the biggest promotion platform there is and those clips don't even show the name of the artist (since it's always some kind of bootleg so the credit usually points to some random username).
Most music events I go to are raves where I've often never heard of the DJs beforehand. I couldn't care less about authenticity, creator-consumer connection or story. I think it's just two different ways to appreciate it, and I'm not sure "authenticity is important" is as common as you make it out to be.
