Then frankly, you're missing the point of a whole lot of music.

Not to mention, not everyone owns an expensive guitar, nor can those people justify bringing an expensive guitar to an event like that in some cases.

In fact, you've said it yourself. Your tastes are confined. And its likely that most of the artists you like can in some way be linked directly to the commercial interests side of the music business, same with most musicians.

Interestingly, I find the most independent musicians, are actually the ones who don't make a big deal about it, and get on with making the music they love, A la Ozric tentacles, who are their own cottage industry and record label.
