Here's the original post by 3lau:

And 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.

[–] ShareMySims@lemmy.dbzer0.com 133 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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)

[–] parody@lemmings.world 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] SplashJackson@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well, he was certainly paid with exposure

Remember the good old days when people died of exposure? Pepperidge Farms remembers, and wishes for those days to return.

The era of wasting tax payer dollars is over? I honestly don't understand how someone is this dumb.

[–] jonne 78 points 1 year ago

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).

[–] VubDapple@real.lemmy.fan 33 points 1 year ago

.... wasting taxpayer dollars on the poors is over. It needed fixing.

I’ve never heard of 3lau, but fuck that guy. What a bootlicker.

[–] andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works 18 points 1 year ago

No one heard and no one would.

[–] dditty@lemm.ee 13 points 1 year ago

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.

Begun, the second Trump administration has.

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

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

[–] NakariLexfortaine@lemm.ee 22 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] EldritchFeminity@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Hopefully he's changed a bit since then, because he got kicked off of Twitch for making some racist comments, and he made some disparaging comments about trans women around the same time.

But even if he hasn't, a broken clock and all that.

Judging by his own reply he's actually a Magat, not just a dumby who wanted to do something big.

[–] secretlyaddictedtolinux@lemmy.world 34 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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?

Have you seen the recent demographics for Burning Man?

[–] secretlyaddictedtolinux@lemmy.world 25 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] ubergeek@lemmy.today 36 points 1 year ago

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.

Lol not getting paid and losing audience. Art of the Deal indeed.

[–] Thcdenton@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] khannie@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Deadmau5 is a massive cunt in his own right

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

[–] scbasteve7@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He's just a little transphobic and homophobic . Also he has an insane ego.

He performed at a friend's venue once and was apparently a massive douchebag, ordering everyone around thinking the world revolved around him. He also publicly berated staff over silly mistakes and even publicly berated the openers.

[–] khannie@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Ugh. My friend and I have a name for people like that - door pullers. It came from this one incident we saw while travelling for work where some rich dude started angrily pulling on the door handle of the car because his driver (his actual driver, like not an Uber or taxi) wasn't fast enough unlocking it.

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.

I'm more interested in whatever drama there is between subtronics and deadmau5 tbh

[–] talentedkiwi@sh.itjust.works 52 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think they meant they had to unblock 3lau to see deadmau5 comment

[–] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

Now that I'm more awake I see it.

[–] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 20 points 1 year ago

I thought it was that too but I think he means unblock 3lau.

[–] laffytaffer@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

What the other commenters said, but if there was drama it'd probably be due to the fact that deadmau5 used to be one of the biggest assholes in EDM. He might be nicer now, but back in the day I'd never heard of someone having a pleasant interaction with him.
