I guess when I think of jam bands I also think of goofball bands like String Cheese Incident

― look at this quarterstaff (Hurting 2), Wednesday, 26 September 2012 02:27 (fourteen years ago)

I need some examples of "deepster" too though.

deepster:

(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.
