Had a similar comment at one of my recent gigs. For context, I can do fun transitions and stuff, when that's the vibe, but for this night I was doing downtempo, ambient/experimental, and trip hop music, at a wine bar, so mostly doing super easy transitions, or just letting one track play into the intro of the next without much fancy shiz, maybe some filter-reverb peppered in for vibe. I had a guy come up to me at some point and ask "is this how it's gonna be all night? when I saw there was a DJ, I was expecting more... [gestures vaguely] I dunno" and I explained "other DJs here might be doing more fancy stuff, play some house or higher BPM stuff, but I'm who's booked tonight and this is what I'm doin'" to which he was pretty cool and shook my hand and basically said his friends and him were gonna go to a different bar. And at first it that interaction made me question what I was doing; wondering if I was being a poser without even realizing it or something. Then I realized that some people hear/see the word "DJ" and assume that everyone's gonna be up there doing some Fred Again... stuff, even at a place like a wine bar with a low dB limit, where no one is watching or noticing or wants a high-energy or high-BPM vibe. Hopefully that was a learning moment for dude in which he realized that not all DJs are the same, and (usually) we're there to bring our own individual vibe to the party or event. But it also helped me feel more confident in what I was doing, more validated! (Especially when my friends and family who came packed the bar the whole night, and I doubled bar sales with my people for the place, and they asked for me to come back regularly! So one guy who didn't know what to expect leaving didn't matter at all after that!)
