deepster:

(a) not just an interest in drugs, but the belief that drugs are reaaally interesting
(b) pussyhound (the deepster is a hetero male)
(c) belief in eastern mysticism and/or the american desert
(d) closet prog fan

so, not so different from the jam band.

yeah, idg deepster either. Those criteria seem to describe many of the best posters on ILM. I would also like to hear these jam band songs that rip off India Song because that sounds like my kinda thing.

I need some examples of "deepster" too though.

deepster:

(a) not just an interest in drugs, but the belief that drugs are reaaally interesting
(b) pussyhound (the deepster is a hetero male)
(c) belief in eastern mysticism and/or the american desert
(d) closet prog fan

so, not so different from the jam band.

Does this mean Devendra Banhart?
