Migos took the SNL stage with a live band Saturday night, and while many of their fans were impressed by the performance, those who don't generally tune into Saturday Night Live for trap music were a little more confused.

The trio performed two tracks from their bursting-at-the-seams new album Culture II; the Pharrell-produced single "Stir Fry" and the Pablo Escobar tribute "Narcos." 

Many fans were into Migos' colorful outfits, dance moves, and dexterous ad-libs. They defended the group against those trashing the performance.

Others were critical of the audio setup, which was largely blamed on SNL rather than the group.

Then, of course, there were the people who just did not get it. Some of these people admitted this was just a matter of being too old. Among those who weren't into the performance were fans who simply felt the group could have brought a little more to the table.

The best may have been the people surprised that Migos was a group not a solo artist. Yes, these people still exist in 2018.
