Partly, but I don't think it's that simple. I'm about as introverted as you're likely to meet, but I enjoy the hell out of MST3K. Making fun of a movie in ways the creators didn't intend, tickles my sense of humor. Doing so in a setting where I don't need to share my physical space with my co-conspirators is just awesome. Going to a crowded theatre sucks. Going to a popular drive-in and knowing that there are hundreds of other cars full of people enjoying the show, and if the weather's nice and the insects are -icided and the windows are down and we can hear each other laughing, is a fun collective experience. There are some movies that prefer to be experienced alone, or with one other. There are books that need to be read from the page, not narrated by Audible.com. There are albums that crave headphones and a comfy chair and a silent room, and there are albums that thrive on the open road with windows down and hair flying. I think that's part of the art, as much as the audience.
