This is the music equivalent of the protesters who throw tomato soup on important artwork.

I don't even have a problem with the cause, but if there is no thematic or substantive link, the protester is just a time and attention thief. They are non-consensually interfering with the agency of every person in that arena.

Do that at a Trump rally, or to protest a company's complicity, or whatever, but it's just lazy and narcissistic to interrupt collective consensual activities that aren't even relevant just to draw publicity to the cause, however worthy of attention otherwise.
