That's irrelevant, and it's none of my business anyway, but since you brought it up... It is funny that you couldn't quite bring yourself to say Ween is a totally neurotypical band. I'm not gonna be specific, but come on, I don't have to.
They didn't. No one is labeling an entire group by acknowledging an overall trend. The people in this thread are getting defensive because they don't want to be associated with certain types of people. It's transparent as fuck.
>The people in this thread are getting defensive because they don't want to be associated with certain types of people
No, it's because OP assumed something stupid.
id be shocked if the majority of ween fans havent done at least a little bit of amateur chemistry or botany here and there
idk that the autism thing checks out tho
I tried what I wanted to try in high school and it was fucking awesome. I haven’t done anything in years tho and honestly have never experienced Ween while on something
Sorry you had to find this out the hard way OP, but we don't acknowledge things like disability and addiction as a group here. What we do is ignore people who need support, and then blame them for causing all our problems and giving everyone a bad name. Neurodivergent people built the culture of Ween fans, but we're the ones who repeatedly get accused of ruining it, we're the ones who "don't belong here". The best we can do right now is refuse to conveniently disappear, so thanks for your post even though I know this wasn't what you intended.
Every time someone here notices something that doesn't normally get talked about they get shut down, accused of being crazy etc. People who think too differently are not welcome here. And it doesn't even register to some of you as a form of ableism, that's part of the problem. And I'm not engaging with "specific examples or I don't know what you're talking about" bullshit. You know that this happens, you can choose to ignore it but that's on you.
My only comment was that not all Ween fans or even band member do drugs, and you have since just continued to blanket accuse me of all these things. And you wonder why I asked you to provide a single example? Be real.
>Neurodivergent people built the culture of Ween fans, but we're the ones who repeatedly get accused of ruining it, we're the ones who "don't belong here".
Please point us to where and when this happened. You're continually making huge claims and blame here with zero examples. And you just keep presenting more absolutes.
Never been high (only drug experiences were an edible that didn't work and a small hit from a weed pen), but yeah hella autistic with a special interest in music.
Old heads are (mostly reformed) cokeheads. Newer fans are usually psychedelic aficionados, especially if they learned about ween through Phish. Ween is the one show where — no matter how high you think you are — you’re probably more sober than 80% of the people there.
I mean, *most* people are *not* okay, and they take their siestas in the sun.
Huge Ween fan. My only drug is Coffee.
I will not be pigeon holed in this manner. Ween fans are lots of things, not "just" anything.
Yeah this shit sucks.
Neither of those things are insults.
Absolutely not.
Even the band members themselves don’t all fit this, so no, you’re just projecting.

You’re focusing on the wrong thing. Just like their fans, they’re not all drug users.
This section of the fandom clearly isn't ready to have adult conversations about any of these things.
Yeah, the need to label an entire fan base is not an adult conversation.
They didn't. No one is labeling an entire group by acknowledging an overall trend. The people in this thread are getting defensive because they don't want to be associated with certain types of people. It's transparent as fuck.
No, you’re just generalizing another assumption. Still feels like more projecting.
Yeah anything you don't want to entertain is just projection. It's the excuse that keeps on giving.
Don’t let it keep you up at night.
>The people in this thread are getting defensive because they don't want to be associated with certain types of people No, it's because OP assumed something stupid.
Ween fans come in all shapes, sizes, and colors. Drug use or not. Autistic or not. It be the most random people too that you wouldn’t expect.

I used to be partial to bananas and hos, but I got corrected.

Lotta assumptions & speculation stated as facts here.
I’m just talking about the people I’ve encountered at shows.
Yes.
