Unplugged music means music that doesn’t use technology.
In today’s society it is very difficult to do many things without the aid of some technology. In music terms this includes things like recording equipment, sound technology and electronic instruments.
In order to make music ‘popular’ it has to be distributed and this is extremely hard without the aid of technology. It would be much more difficult for the artist to record the songs and hard for it to reach a wide audience in order to make it popular. Some genres of music also heavily rely on technology to give them their desired sounds that make them unique. Although some argue ‘popular’ music can be unplugged demonstrated by live bands and acoustic artists, there is often still some technology involved. In a liver performance a singer would need a microphone in order for the audience to hear over the other instruments that in most cases also use technology such as an amplifier. There are some exceptions however such as freestyle music and some rap but this is often aimed at a smaller audience but if recorded would still use technology if it was put onto CDs.

I am assuming that a liver performance is one given by an artist who is a heavy drinker?
By your original definition of unplugged music being that which does not use technology we would surely have to discount the use of all musical instruments whether electric or acoustic?
