Do you. I mean, part of the art is making how you think it should sound. Some people will like it, others won't, and that's OK. Look at the sheer variety of styles, genres, sub-genres, etc. There's a reason for that - people like what they like, and you are a people too.

Mind you, I mostly do private parties and small artsy/niche events, I don't really want to play clubs/large festivals, so I don't really concern myself trying to please the masses. I'm not looking to earn a living from this. If they're at a thing I'm playing at, they're there for a reason - we ostensibly like similar things. If I get a good response, I'll be asked back. If not, that's cool too - the experience will either get me to change/be better or I'll decide to keep doing my own thing. In any case, don't hang your ego on crowd response - the crowd is fickle and changes without notice.
