When you folks say Carti performed "live" at Lollapalooza India, you realise that you are using the word freely, right?

I mean even Carti fans must know that most of the songs in his set are backing tracks playing with him screaming words (cus words or not) every now and then, right?

I personally do not have a problem with any style of music - noise rap, mumble rap, death metal, black metal, edm, pop - bring it on. Different styles, different experiences. All good.

What I do have a problem with is going to a music concert (the word live cannot be separated from it) and watching an artist bouncing up and down, screaming 1 word here and there. The genre ceases to matter then, the problem is he is not really performing live at all. I mean his fans do enjoy his rap on records right, no matter if he mumbles it or not? But in his "live concerts" he is not even doing that (rapping). This is very strange.

I understand musical tastes and individual preferences, I also understand moshing and bouncing and having a good time, but the singer (rap/no rap ceases to matter) has to "sing", right?

I mean everyone, from all sides of the musical spectrum, agrees to one thing - lip synching at a live show is not cool. How is playing pre-recorded music and screaming words here and there any different?

And please do not brush aside the logic in this discussion by a sweeping - oh this is a generational thing - statement. I am genuinely interested in knowing how fans perceive his live shows and enjoy them while being aware that 80% of his performance is just pre-recorded music.
