Personally, I'd say the brand promise is
"The music you hear tonight is produced live, with no pre-recorded samples."

Some of us use recordings as source materials.

Others perform with looping software such as Live or radiaL.


Personally, I don't consider myself so much as a "looper" as a  performer of live electroacoustic music.

Looping in my case is one technique among many.

I gladly participate in events billed as "looping" performances and I consider myself part of the looping community, but this does not preclude my membership in other creative communities. Others among this group have a much stronger identification with looping and therefore may care a lot about what the music is called and how it is presented. This is fine, but such strong attitudes can get in the way of the musical comraderie.
