The music of "THE MAN THE MYTH THE LEGEND" is most assuredly secondary to the story. It is a running accompaniment to take the audience through changing moods while the tale of two people is being told, thrust together upon the set of a television broadcasting studio to complete their separate jobs for the day - Bubba, a (hopefully) novice cameraman, and Armando, who's trying to sing his heart out and make it as a performer. The characters are constantly completely transparent and unsubtle with their thoughts and intent throughout the play - Bubba, through his usage of the camera, and Armando through his body. Both of them evince a constant, tamped-down frustration that the true gravitas of the performance they are executing does not seem to be adequately conveyed to the audience, and this constitutes the abstract drive that propels the production onwards.
Armando throws his head back as if to belt but continues singing normally, he jumps when the song lyrics say jump, he strums his sham of a guitar so hard that even when his right hand comes off it he continues shaking it by the neck as though he could wring out some more music out of it. Bubba is less invested but still tries, like someone who has read "guides" to stage camera operation written by people more interested in selling poetic language than practical knowledge - he zooms in and out repeatedly on Armando's face to desperately try and emphasize the passion in it, pans out into wide shots to convey some unspecified emotion, and sometimes tries to follow Armando's flailing arms before giving up.
In their actions, they demonstrate a simpleness that is as much charming as it is infuriating. Armando's overemoting is obvious, but more curious is Bubba's where he leaves the camera focused on the guitar frozen in the air almost like he doesn't quite know what to do without being told, or when he zooms in on Armando's feet, sunk into the floor, to satisfy his own fascination and curiosity instead of trying to redirect the camera's attention, or when he keeps the camera on Armando all the way to backstage - perhaps because he forgot how to turn off the follow function. At one point, Armando is muted for two songs, and Bubba does not lift a single finger to warn him or to fix anything - despite having previously demonstrated that he is more than capable of the act - because, perhaps, sound is not in his job description? These small, trivial questions keep the viewer engaged and primed for the central message of the unfolding performance.
Both the characters try, through all the means at their disposal and to varying degrees of enthusiasm, to communicate the majesty of a musical performance to their audience, but are constantly stymied by their lack of skill, inexperience, and their character flaws. Truly, "THE MAN THE MYTH THE LEGEND" belongs up there with the likes of "Waiting for Godot" and "The Bald Soprano" as a striking absurdist performance that explores the nature of existence and meaning in a way that is both amusing and insightful.

Ahem. Let me reiterate, with renewed vigor, why blowing up PPP is a bad thing.

PPP represents the last bastion of untrammelled creation, the symbol of (wo)man grasping the rules of the world as revealed to her and enforcing her raw will upon them, as bound by her limited intellect as it is, instead of being entrapped by the few paths that have been blazed by her predecessors and never straying beyond them.
To destroy PPP is to succumb completely to the enframing tendency of technology, "Gestell", as cited by Heidegger - an orientation to the world that views everything as raw material or 'standing-reserve', a means to an end. A wood farm makes wood, which can be burnt to make iron, which can be used to build railway tracks, which can be used to move resources, such as wood, which can be burnt to make iron...everything is seen as a means to an end, but there is no end. The end is the means is the end.
The repeated consensus dismissal of PPP, to be blamed in large part as well on the audience, is a key, no, overwhelming factor that has led to the acceptance of this worldview, which has had long-lasting, rippling effects on all the holos. Nothing is built if there is something more efficient that will accomplish the same goal; instead, it is seen as a waste of resources. This worldview also causes them to place little value on aesthetic structures, for they provide no resources either; they are viewed as useless. This has led to paralysis and stagnancy on the server; no one will build anything because it is not "worth it". Even a much-needed shot-in-the-arm like Moona's introduction of piston technology to the server has failed to shake this ennui.
Likely while being completely unaware of the true significance of what she is defending, with only her gut feeling to go on, Kiara is preventing the Borgview from completely taking over EN. As long as PPP remains, the girls will at least have a reminder that there is value in building from first principles, there is individuality, and that there is more than simple efficiency to Minecraft. In giving up the pursuit of purpose, they may all find the purpose within themselves that they have always been looking for.

The only state of repose is apathy
Love is the shadow of hate, much like an electron hole
When a shitposter pushes the theory that X girl hates Y girl, implictly she likes all other girls more
This does not have much effect if shitting is minimal, but as the amount of shitting exponentially increases, this narrows ships down into the least hated equilibria
What is more, because of differing narratives, one may then pick and choose whichever shitposter narratives to support their anti-ships and thus generate their implicit ships

This is a direct result of the "enframing" tendency of technology, or Gestell, as cited by Heidegger. Technology is said by Heidegger to be an orientation to the world that views everything in it as raw material, or "standing-reserve". A wood farm makes wood, which can be burnt to make iron, which can be used to build railway tracks, which can be used to move resources... There is no end in itself; everything is seen as a means to an end.
Because of this viewpoint, nothing is built if there is something more efficient; instead it is seen as a waste of resources. This is embodied most in the repeated consensus dismissal of PPP once a better alternative was made available;the acceptance of this worldview has had long-lasting, rippling effects on all the holos, where no one will build something new if it doesn't do something "better". And they do not have the skills to organically build something better - at the most they reach for a guide, which then instantly leapfrogs the server in that area to that cutting edge and leads to stagnancy once again.
Is everything lost? Not exactly; not everything on the server is technology, after all. Showpieces such as the resident KFP or the fountain Bae was trying to build still exist. But even then the omnipresent technological mindset that binds the normal world eats at their minds; it forces them to consider these things as trivial and worthless, for they provide no resources to be used in the further propagation of resource gathering.
Unfortunately, it does not seem that Heidegger has an answer; as always, the cop-out is that by illuminating this danger, humanity may realize that it does not always have to see the world in these terms, and may reinvent its own vocabulary for experiencing it on different, more fulfilling ways. So perhaps the girls will be able to one day find a satisfactory answer for themselves and chat, to be able to build structures and redstone contraptions that stand on their own, with sufficient meaning, regardless of there "already being something better on the server".

tldr; Holos should take some inspiration from the Amish and chill out

I made this post

what could she actually be planning with Hinotori? Without studio 3D?

Any chance of gorilla Fall Guys after she gets back home from shoe shopping with Mamatori and her brother?

Hearing that she tought about graduating several times in the first months is pretty sad, i hope if she gets too tired of it she just chill like shion and ayame, you only need to provide content 3 times a week for the first year anyway no need to graduate.
