Or groove with the song like the Zentradi?
I'm still not sure how I feel about it.

I guess one thing with Macross is that it requires you to have at least some knowledge of the previous series. Yes, it is ok to watch it without prior knowledge, but usually it helps to have some prior knowledge.
The Zentradis used to be the enemies of humanity, and had no culture beyond written text and a military society. Music was introduced to them during Space War I, and many of them became infatuated with human society. After Space War I, the two 'races' were integrated. But, given their memories of Space War I and idol singers, the latter is infamous for being the Zentran 'weak-spot'
