I’ve also been a part of communal silence when music is playing, but I have never been a part of true communal silence. I wonder if we are uncomfortable with the idea of communal silence partly because in our culture we value noise (turning on the TV even if we aren’t sitting down to watch it, plugging in the headphones while running or cleaning or something, etc.). I wonder if another part of the reason is the fact that our culture values doing and not just being.
