gotta say as much as i love phish more than most music/bands in the whole world, there are times when i am embarrassed to be a passionate fan of theirs given the nature of much of (though not all) of their fanbase

chill out people.. love life, love music, learn to laugh

so some guy doesn't like phish and called some people wookies..

WHATEVER

go put on 7/6/98 and calm down and move on

its ridiculous that this fool who is missing out by not being a phan is getting death threats and hatemail and such for writing a f***in article. some of yall are nuts

So some skinny jeans wearin' guy says phish sucks. They all do.

I like to laugh and stab people

Wait.. More details please.

Oh blow it out your ass, let the fans have a little fun; the guy is obviously a dick.

The fans having fun are giving the dick exactly what he wants. I'm not surprised that people are too dumb to realize that though.

@tidemikey you are drug addicted human garbage

Who gives a shit, its funny.

I know what's funny, and sir, this isn't funny.

He wants and probably desperately needs all this negative attention. His quote:

A few hours ago I published a story on Noisey called Phish Has Been a Band for 30 Thirty Years Now and They Have Sucked the Whole Time. While this wasn't exactly James Agee-caliber hard-hitting journalism, I thought I had a few choice zingers in there to describe Phish fans, especially phrases like "stoner Wookie trash," "fumbling, intolerable dickweeds," and, that old classic, "human garbage."

What I didn't realize was that the entire Phinternet would lock arms, steel themselves, and charge at me like a pack of wild, weed-crazed doom wargs. Since I published the article, I've felt like Edward The First in Braveheart. I've literally had to shut off my phone to avoid the avalanches of Tweets and emails from these hippy scumbags.

Now it's 4PM, and a few things have happened that I'd like to share with you all, if for no other reason than to hold a mirror up to Phish fans and show the world what a bunch of total dicks these guys are.

^What he said.

Let it be known I don't actually think that about @tidemikey but that is literally how he described ALL of us.

But why play right into this f***ers hands? We have a chocie of how to react, and we are reacting exactly how he wants us to. It's dumb, and shows lack of any critical thought. You're all lke a bunch of f***ing moths floating to the big bright light.

You're accomplishing nothing by reacting to this guy. You're chasing your f***ing tails. Lowest common denominator of phish fans."

I didn't send him anything, but I do take offense to efforts to censor the fanbase over something as pointless as this.

I'm unaware of any efforts to censor anyone. I understand that you're reading is at about a 5th grade level, but do you konw what the word censor even means?"

Trying to use the common ground of being a phish fan to guilt trip people into behaving a certain way sure seems like a form of censorship to me. Its the goddamn internet, the dude communicated, people communicated back in like fashion... no big deal.

If you guys feel so bad about it why don't you write him an apology on behalf of the more positive side of fans, instead of implying that we should feel bad for talking shit on the internet?

not at all... i said "some of yall are nuts"

and i ain't worried about our image as someone else said
