Nah I fucking love it. Stage time is limited often by when a venue has to close due to noise ordinances, if the band respects your time enough to not pretend to walk off stage you actually get more music.
I mean, it’s also about having a bit of fun. It’s definitely fair that you don’t like it, but I feel like enough people enjoy the little dance, so that they do demand an encore.
At the very least, you often feel like a clap-activated jukebox throughout your performance. And then when you’re about to leave, the audience suddenly wakes up and showers you in applause.
Believe me, lots of musicians find encores silly, too, but when you’re given so much love at the end of your performance, you feel bad not answering that with an encore.
Yeah it depends. The venue I go to definitely doesn’t have to shut down due to noise (it’s in the middle of the city where there’s tons of bars and clubs), but I get that every minute of a show costs someone money. I don’t think the kind of shows I go to would result in more music if encores were skipped, and it’s a good feeling when your chant brings the band back out (even if I know it was planned). But, I understand the aspect of not wanting to be click-baited irl.

It’s always pre-planned. The performance with the encore simply begins a few minutes earlier.
