Lol, right. Blows me away what kids view as talent. Pushing buttons on a machine using software someone else programmed to an audience that has to use drugs so the music sounds good.

Bassnectar is seriously talented and makes amazing music. He is one of the most experimental artists ever. He has made rock remixes and made epic remixes of songs like Somarfagel by Wintergarten and his new album Into the Sun is dope. His brand of Bass music, trap, and dubstep are so good. His only competitor(s) in that domain is Zeds Dead.
I put on Zeds Dead the other day just to see what the hype was about. Seriously the music sounded like teeny bopper trash. Like it was all the EDM music cliche's wrapped up into one.
All the EDM shows I've been to were filled with self righteous upper middle class white kids dressed up funny costumes eating shitty drugs that care about nothing more than themselves. The entire scene is just about the money and building massive egos.
It's not that I am against the format of the music, because I love the current jam band scene now that EDM has completely slit away. Improvisation and live performance are key elements to music, but so is telepathy and musical communication through the members of the band, all of which are lost when you have a single DJ pressing buttons and replying loops from other peoples music.
Give me rhythm, blues, and rock'n roll please.

I saw him at EF this year too. I thought his set was pretty good, but it could have been better. I've seen him play before too. But the girl behind me kept screaming "Oh my God!" over and over so she either thought it was the shit or was on some really good drugs.

I absolutely hate the mysticism around nectar. The first time I saw him was amazing! He threw down so hard I was really caught in the bassnectar hook. But the next four times I saw him I was very disappointed and upset with the sets and very much so with the crowd. He would just play this stupid, slow, flowerstep bullshit and the crowds just going the whole time,"omg bassnectar I love you! He's going so hard!!! Omg!!!!" And then afterwards all people talk about is how hard he threw down and all I can think about is how weak his set was and how caught in a trend people get because it is trendy to love nectar and talk about how awesome he is. Sometimes though he does absolutely truly kill it though, and I thoroughly enjoy that!
I thought his Ef set was garbage and so did this guy standing next to me. It was his 80thish nectar show he said. Him and his whole crew were standing there with their thumbs down in front of the sound tent the whole set. At bisco nectar even said "here's payback for electric forest"

What kinda fans turn their thumbs down to the artist they are going to see. Improvisation works well when it's working, but when it's not it's usually a flop. It's par for the course dude. The Grateful Dead did a lot of bad shows in their time, but never would I show that level of disrespect to an artist in this type of scene. That's exactly my point above with the crowd and the people. It's all about how the music made them feel, never about anything great than themselves.

I agree with this. I get the feeling most of the shroomery hates the west coast bass music scene. I think its the kinda thing that you either like or absolutely hate. My parents and relatives for example, just think most electronic music is garbage. They've heard me listen to all sorts of electronic music from nectar, to tipper, to four tet, to max cooper. They think it all just sounds the same. I like it, I just don't get carried away with it like some people. Theres a difference between liking nectar and going to his shows, and the people who are straight obsessed with him and cant admit thats hes not perfect.

Bassnectar is ok I guess but mostly all electronic music pales in comparison to real instruments played by actual musicians.

Also, bassnectar sucks. Custy music. I can't believe OP called him "the most experimental", lol. It's cookie cutter made music for suburban children. The folk music of the snap back set.

Nope, what you define as a real instrument or musician is a matter of perspective.
If the music has conviction that's all I need, doesn't matter if I don't like the sound I will still respect the artist.
Bassnectar is alright, he reminds me of John Mayer with respect to musicianship. Technically proficient but willfully squanders that for the sake of pandering to a more profitable demographic.
