I also don't like it, because it feels just like a play and fake.
Like a societal norm that just has to happen, but all the entertainment effect of it has gone (as it is so common to come back)
I saw a band, i cant remember who maybe we were promised jetpacks? Anyway whatever band it was just finished their last song, asked the audience if they wanted to hear more and when they cheered said 'okay this is your encore' played two more songs and then left. I feel like thats a good way to handle it.
I've seen bands not come back out. If the crowd isn't into it, they can just leave.
Fans should do a flash mob and instantly start to leave, when the band leaves the first time
The best I’ve seen it handled was by The Pixies. One show they did the whole thing backwards. One song encore, the a three song encore, then the main set. The other, the did their set then stayed on the stage encouraging the crowd to cheer louder, the did the encore.
