I am also curious as to this "jaded" self-awareness. Can one actually be "jaded" and not have it be a function of the music?
Yes.
So . . . how does it happen? I don't believe you explained it.

The point of all my comments in this thread is that we should stop treating 'jadedness' as if it's the same thing as 'experience' or 'perspective.' It's not. It's almost exactly the opposite of those things.
Who is "we"? I think one describes oneself as being "jaded" as self-mockery, in a flippant manner. I also believe that one can be critical of the band's music, decisions, playing, bringing in experience and perspective, without succumbing to a "jaded" label. If I leave a show (NYE, Bonnaroo) with expectations that were not fulfilled and wishes for something different, I am not looking for someone to tell me how I could/should change . . .
