People spontaneously breaking into song isn't grounded

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

It's a conceit of the genre, it gets a pass.

Trying to explain why people are breaking into song doesn't ground it any more, and trying to make it "realistic" singing such as part of a stage show or rehearsals just weakens the strengths of the genre.
