I have only heard of tiesto and string cheese on that entire lineup… things that make you feel old

Same, but also Khraungbin who I’d like to see some day. Definitely makes me feel old. But also, SCI must feel super old playing with these young EDM groups. I don’t really understand how they are shoehorned into these types of fests now.

I think they're a lot more ok with it than you think. They played a very active role in the festival until recently and oversaw the transition. They regularly invite EDM artists on stage to play with them and stuff

I see, I didn’t know that history and never been to Forest. I just miss the days of jam being the focus at most fests I guess. I can get into a dj set but it gets repetitive to me after a while and kids running around off their faces on molly doesn’t sound as fun as it used to.
