brostep, hipsterstep, and all sorts of garbage in between (about the crowd)
I think age is an issue, too. Back in ATL most of the dubstep crowd was older DnB fans who had taken an interest in it because it's sort of like downtempo DnB. Out here the dubstep crowd is pretty much all college-age and younger.
I mean, I have no problem with hipsters. I sort of am one. Hell, half the people at techno parties are hipsters, but these younger ones... should we call them kidsters? scenesters? Whatever they are, they're much worse than my friends and I were in the early 00s UFO, glowstick raver days. At least back then it was about PLUR and all that, whereas all these dubstep kids just want to do mosh pits and nonsense like that. I mean we're all pretty dumb when we're teenagers, but still...
Maybe I'm just turning into a grumpy old man.

Nope, It's called being smart. When this line up drops, you'll change your mind.

Great marketing Henry. Buy without knowledge is what screwed consumers in the past. Just saying a general statement.
As I've said already... I ask Insomniac to prove us all wrong right now. It wont hurt sales, they already know that. There is little to no point in holding out more of the lineup. Christ the event is 2 months away. By that point we knew 2/3rds of the lineup of Ultra, I know the complete lineup of Sensation or Energy in NL.
I'm not saying you should drop the lineup, but you have to be kidding me if you would blindly buy a presale to any other event for 200 when you know 3 names out of an entire weekend. Unless you love all three of them... that's a different story then.
I don't get what good it is doing Insomniac hiding the info.

Last year at EDC, Friday seemed like "House Night" and Saturday seemed like "Trance Night". This year there are 3 days, and so far no trance.
That's why I went on Saturday and not Friday last year. I would have been disappointed if I blindly bought a ticket for Friday and wound up with the house-y lineup.

tritonal is fri/sat and sander van doorn is friday....
