Hold up... He didn't even get paid? Even Judas took the fucking silver.

Responses that completely destroy the original argument in a way that leaves little to no room for reply - a targeted, well-placed response to another person, organization, or group of people.
The following things are not grounds for murder:
- Personal appearance ("You're fat", "You're ugly")
- Posts with little-to-no context
- Posts based on a grammar/spelling error
- Dick jokes, "Yo mama", "No, you" type responses and other low effort insults
- "Your values are bad" without any logcal or factual ways of showing that they are wrong ("I believe in capitalism" - "Well, then you must be evil" or "Fuck you you ignorant asshole")
Rules:
- Be civil and remember the human. No name calling or insults. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone else.
- Discussion is encouraged but arguments are not. Don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.
- No bigotry of any kind.
- Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.

why waste taxpayer dollars
Translation: They offered me the gig with no pay and I was too much of a pussy to negotiate or just, y'know, say no.
Lol not getting paid and losing audience. Art of the Deal indeed.
Dubstep artists go straight to the gulag
Trump received over $170 million in inaugural donations, primarily from companies and the extremely wealthy.
Yet, this artist didn’t get paid?
And the artist believes they were saving “tax payer dollars”?
And the artist seems to be catching blowback from his industry for the association?
This seems like the standard playbook for “working for Trump”, just in a 30-minute DJ-set format…
I would be personally shocked if most of the funds weren't embezzled
I mean this is the orange idiot we're talking about. He wouldn't have paid this guy regardless.
[Some person is getting devastating flak from industry peers for association with Trump]
[...while also getting screwed by Trump]
Begun, the second Trump administration has.
The era of wasting tax payer dollars is over? I honestly don't understand how someone is this dumb.
He's a cuck They love being shamed and embarrassed...
Yeah, those balls are paid for by donating by sympathetic billionaires. It's the perfect opportunity to demand ridiculous fees because you know they have the money. (If you were inclined to DJ at a Nazi event).
.... wasting taxpayer dollars on the poors is over. It needed fixing.
apparently he didn’t even get paid and covered his own travel costs
Holy shit that's bad. Can't even try to claim the excuse of "a job is a job" and claiming there's no politics to it.
He ends that last reply with "no more spending taxpayer dollars, that era is over!" which is a pretty good indication that there very much is politics to it (so I agree with you, but also he isn't even trying to hide it, so I don't see him trying to defend himself by pretending he doesn't support their politics)
That was a good way to round out the original post, which just mentioned the “POTUS team” and pretended like it was acceptable human behavior.

but the exposure!
I’m sure all those right wing zealots will be lining up to give him lucrative gigs after this. After all, they’re known for their love of edm and the culture surrounding it. They certainly don’t despise everyone in attendance at the average gig (aside from the hot girls on molly they still despise but want to sexually assault)!
The era of being paid for work is over!!
Supposedly, none of the musicians who played at the inauguration were paid for it.
Really tells you about the caliber of these people. Both the artists and the administration.

I’ve never heard of 3lau, but fuck that guy. What a bootlicker.
No one heard and no one would.
He had a few songs I liked ~2013-14 but he was cancelled all the way back then for something, I think just being an a$$hole on Twitter if memory serves. Haven't listened to him since.
Never heard of 3Lau and I'm not going to bother to look up what is probably shitty music to give him what he wants. But this is how morons get famous through angertainment. As they say, bad press is good press.

Do conservatives listen to hard techno, progressive house, dubstep, or other electronica genres? Do they go to massives and drop e?
Does Lauren Boebert listen's to Sophie's Faceshopping while jogging on a treadmill?
Perhaps conservatives do consume lots of electronic music?
RIP Sophie.
Have you seen the recent demographics for Burning Man?
I haven't. Please enlighten me. Has the underground been stolen by "bohemian" tech bros who want neo-feudalism?
I'm not cool enough to attend burning ban.
Yeah, Burning Man used to be a like, art and tech DIY punk thing. These days, it's a music fest for tech bros and insta influencers.
I once got into an argument on this platform with people defending the average salary at burning man being six figures. They tried to tell me that it didn’t qualify as wealthy because I wasn’t considering that they probably worked in an area with a high cost of living and that probably didn’t leave them with much more disposable income than the people making five figures. I guess annually dumping over 5k on a drug trip vacation where you pretend to be a hippy for a weekend is something even the poor can afford.
Judging by his own reply he's actually a Magat, not just a dumby who wanted to do something big.
Deadmau5 used to stream on twitch about his touring setup video system. He'd sit in his studio and craft wonders in TouchDesigner.
Fascinating to watch
I never really followed him, just not my personal style, but I remember seeing clips of those streams. It was seriously impressive. Dude seemed really in his element, and had an awesome setup all around.

Never heard of 3lau. Seems like a tool and is music sucks. But Deadmau5 is a massive cunt in his own right and the less I hear about him the better.

Tell me more please. I wasn't aware of anything to do with him other than his music, some of which I enjoy.
