[CC] how do people watch these stage performances, they're pretty much always the same, and i bet the xox are tired of performing the same songs over and over too

i (try to) tune into one gongyan a week, but most of the time i'm splitscreening it with work or even having it as a background tab. and i skip over mcs or mentally tune them out if i'm multitasking. so honestly i basically just listen to the gongyan setlist once a week in shitty audio quality. which probably explains why i'm not sick of the performance or anything. but actually even if you watch properly every single week, personally i wouldn't be bored since you can see the tiny ways that the xox do things differently each time, especially during team songs they have tiny interactions with each other. actually i really liked watching the first few songs for trigo functions for this reason. i'm sure the ones that've been running the same stage for a while are tired, but i think it's a bit similar to being an actor where you put on the same show over and over, that's the nature of your performance. having regular (weekly) performances is such a key part of snh anyway that i think the xox have to either be okay with or make peace with that fact. not to mention the bulk of the gongyan is mc3/4 for them anyway, which varies week on week. mcs aren't always good but it's interesting to zero in on specific members and just study what they do and how they interact with others. that's just how i view it at least? i mean i'm also autistic and snh (h2) is my special interest so that might explain why i'm content to watch the same thing over and over
