I like it. I visit classical concerts more than pop ones, but there it definitely isn’t automatic, but a light-hearted “artist’s choice” response to a genuinely enthusiastic crowd after the approx. 3rd round of applause. Not a given. My favourite is still when the soloist did a jazz encore and the audience swapped from “no applause even between movements” classical mode to “applaud good solos” jazz mode.

Tomato Europe vs Potato Europe.

A waffle iron would equally be unwise.

The Nordic model is a capitalist one.
