Yea that definitely makes sense. There's bands I saw earlier on that I didn't like at the time that gradually evolved and sounded much different and a lot better even just a few years later.

And as far as improv music, it's definitely something that people either love or hate. I love it but I definitely see where it just isn't what others are in to.

Yea there's a good bit of that. I think that turned me off from Panic growing up because everyone loved them because their older brother did and it was way too fratty for me.
