Can't hear the music?

 The idea here is that our harsh judgment of others who step out of conventionality is prompted by ignorance. We don’t understand what we are experiencing - we lack context to make sense of it. Instead of activating intellectual humility and accepting that we simply “do not understand,” we fearfully turn to the presumption that there cannot be any sensible rationale for the behavior or belief in question. This “other” and their strange way of being are absurdities without purpose - they are ”insane.”

It’s a beautiful quote that highlights an important idea, but there’s no evidence Nietzsche is the author. One of the oldest printed versions of the quote appears in a London newspaper, The Times of London, in 1927. "They who dance are thought mad by those who hear not the music. The truth of the old proverb was never more surely borne out that it is just now."

The newspaper identifies the idea as an “old proverb,” indicating that this piece of wisdom was around during and perhaps before Nietzsche’s time. What’s wonderful about a great idea is that it can stand on its own. Great ideas should not gain greater credibility due to their authorship. The reverse should be true, that an author ought to be better-regarded when they come up with a valuable, original idea.
