I have no doubt that this no agreement that sound needs visual
representation.

Where is the pressure to include visuals coming from? Are electronic
music programs telling students to include visual now?

Is the success of youtube making muscians without visuals feel
humbled??

Obviously these are questions that individuals must decide for
themselves.. I don't see why there has to be a group consensus over it.
