People are allowed to have varying opinions, particularly if they take the pains to explain them. Lockstep this forum isn't.

I concur: the purpose of K-On! is the depiction of everyday lives of a closely-knit group of friends, with music forming the initial framework for unifying them. I sure as heck didn't walk in expecting the entire series to be about the music
No, but quite a few of us were expecting a series about a light music club to have *some* music. We eventually got it but there was considerable expectation for something that might include a "tune a week" or perhaps a music video sequence every few episodes. You are just being revisionist if you don't think a lot of viewers weren't disoriented for the first 4 or 5 episodes. I love the series, I enjoyed the movie ... but it didn't mean I was goggle-eyed from the start.
