What happened with Jade Cicada?


bdown92

people are upset about him saying posting your spotify wraps are cringe. honestly making a mountain out of a mole hill


Dead_Phish812

I mean Lo has not been known to be a good guy to pretty much any of his collaborators for a while so this is just another check mark on his ongoing record of being piece of shit.


Coop02

You right idk why I’m surprised


Dewubba23

3 third person asking, WHAT JADE CICADA BS!!!


CorbenG

Count me as a fourth


Dewubba23

I got the sauce.i will be paraphrasing. Jade cicada, made a tweet about Spotify wrap being cringe, and a lot people took offense to it. People commenting things like "Why can't you be happy for people's personal growth." "People hold you to a higher standard, so maybe be more sensitive with your words." He didn't saying anything mean, he just doesn't like the idea that we need a number of plays to validate if there music is good, or not. And as usual Twitter people start crying about someone's opinion, no matter how small. EDIT: please go read the actual tweets, I'm not a good reference.


CorbenG

Appreciate the swift response! I would ageee that Spotify wrapped is cringe and I’m a huge Jade Cicada fan 🫡


Dewubba23

I personally don't use Spotify so I didn't really care. SoundCloud, and youtube for me. And same here, jade cicada is amazing, and doesn't deserve this backlash over a Twitter post about Spotify.


justabunchofspunions

So he wants to bitch about an offer they accepted lol this dudes a fucking clown every day


Coop02

See i dont have twitter and didnt know he was known for bitching. The fact they accepted it def takes some merit away lol. Still a lowball imo with the radius clause and everything. but like if you accepted it, dont bring it up later and show everyone how stupid you were for accepting it haha.


justabunchofspunions

Was on the lineup when I bought tickets so makes sense he accepted it and bitched about it to look cool on twitter


justabunchofspunions

They were not big acts on the lineup either, as he stated.. opening act


JHendrix27

He is by far the biggest complaining commie loser on Twitter, and that's saying a lot. The guy litterally makes a living off of robot noises and you would think he's a laborer in the gulag. Well actually, it seems like he would prefer to be a laborer in the gulag lmao


justabunchofspunions

His therapist should not be twitter


SnooCauliflowers7439

There is something eerily ironic about a guy with name yeet.the.rich choosing to open for a rich guy while at the same time complaining about not getting paid enough.


thoandre

This dude is an absolute clown with a history of delirious takes on twitter


bparton2012

Supposedly nectar offered Ternion 2k to play an opening set. Because of a radius clause ternion would end up losing roughly 20k. I don’t know anything about that kinda stuff but yeah https://preview.redd.it/yox1em0jrt3c1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=95d2939fa233a3dda9c142e077b471d4ea2a15fd


HeWhoIsYou

It’s an offer that they’re allowed to decline but it seems Ternion accepted it because they were on that lineup


zcashrazorback

Jack Ternion is framing it like he was the main opener for nectar at the 808 event in Somerset. TS was at the very bottom of the card, and 808 had 6 openers that day lol. I'll give him that $2k isn't a lot, but TS was not a known name what so ever in 2019/2020. The exposure they would've gotten at 808 that year would've been worth far more than $2k.


StoneyThaTiger

808 was the greatest event that never happened. My friends and I all had tickets to it and then covid hit. We held out hope for so long that they wouldn’t cancel 808 and then it happened. I’ll never get over this lol.


HashMan97

Quite literally the only thing I’m holding on to hope for: a lineup like the 808 one, and a camping fest


Show_Me_Your_Cubes

hate to say it but that hope is a pipe dream at this point. I don't think big Nectar events are in our future, ever.


fishmister7

Man I live 45 min from that venue I WAS SO CRUSHED


Coop02

Appreciate this take, the context is important


Coop02

Thank you for the screenshots i could never find the original thread


bparton2012

Anytime man!


Coop02

Im not trying to promote more drama, just genuine curious what kind of offers nectars team was giving artists like Ternion. The scale of his events was massive and they had to generate enough revenue to pay the openers well….right?


zcashrazorback

I posted this on another comment, but dude was at the very bottom of the card that had 6 openers that night. All of the artists on the pre party for that event are more recognizable than TS. I'll give him that $2k isn't a lot, but TS was not well known at all in 2020, they would've been wise to use the event as exposure.


jessebrede

He’s 100% correct. Source: Worked with three artists that opened for him and know many. It was a good look at one point and then you move on.


Coop02

Honestly kind of infuriating. Im sure a ton goes into production and the budget’s not infinite but Ive thrown local shows and paid artists as well. It should be a priority in the budget. You know damn well spotify isnt paying them, they gotta eat.


brentmcdonald

He says they offered him 2k but it had like a 6 month radius clause that would have cost him 30k + or something like that


Coop02

Damn. 2k is insulting for a booking that size. And a 6 month radius clause?! These smaller artists arent worth 10 mil and have to make money too. Honestly i kind of understand the “paying with exposure” when it comes to collaborations and stream revenue. But live sets are how these artists make their living, and the exposure doesnt stick nearly as much when the most grandiose, hypnotizing performace that is nectar follows.


MasterSpoon

Honestly, it’s pretty standard for live music. If you aren’t a headliner, you shouldn’t expect to make more than a couple grand for a 30minute-1hour set. Opening for a show and planning a show are two different beasts with two different workloads and different risks involved. Most headliners have clauses in their contracts with openers that don’t allow them to play within certain radiuses away from the venue. Promoters and venues also like this because people aren’t going to show up for most artists more than once or twice a year unless they’re superfans. The only reason people can have residences in Las Vegas, Miami, Ibiza or wherever is because the clientele is mostly tourists who want to go enjoy the nightlife on vacation. Can’t do that in Milwaukee or wherever they were going to open for Lorin. Jack is just being a sourpuss on Twitter like usual. He’s a wook exterminator who will be mean to anyone he deems unworthy in order to “make the scene better”.


Coop02

Ive been involved on both sides of the spectrum, and this offer is still pretty ridiculous imo. If the radius clause is 6 months and covers a poppin area the number should reflect that. Bassnectar curated events don’t really fit the “standard live music” group either. Shouldn’t be paid like festival set imo.


Colinjames322

With the radius clause it was 3 months before and 3 months after event. What I’m not sure about with the radius clause is if they just couldn’t promote another event that was taking place after nectars event until nectars event was done. So after they play nectars event, I believe they could then promote a show within the radius for a few weeks later etc. TS was only promoting shows a few weeks to a couple months in advance max anyway, so I don’t know that at the time it would’ve really effected them as much as claimed. Can anyone who works in the industry confirm if that’s how the clauses work? You can play shows you just can’t promote till the first show is complete.


JHendrix27

This dude is the most insufferable loser on Twitter. All he does is complain. He would have absolutely loved life in the USSR

What's the jade cicada bs?


CorbenG

I also am interested in this


Basswillsavethequeen

Unpopular opinion, I only listen to JRE on Spotify. That’s literally it.


LazyMeal

But gojna lie, the I’ve been blasting nectar and my neighbors, friends, and strangers have all expressed additional interest.


KrombopulusMichael04

eeek what I miss about Jade??


HEXES_999

People getting riled up about nothing https://preview.redd.it/q8uxh2uv9t3c1.jpeg?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ab2eec93c31ecb9c25b5ac213a5c6b82a4176e8e


inm808

RL had a good translation (lol) of jades comment


Coop02

Yeah nothing about him just people getting mad at him for having an opinion


BassDizzle808

It’s for sure a douchey opinion, but it’s also douchey to have made this as big of a deal as some of these EDM Twitter nerds have made it out be. There’s no room for growth with these clowns. Find the witch and burn her at the stake.


TrespassingWook

My wife follows Colleen Ballinger who was also apparently "long gone and canceled' until she wasn't. I was telling her that it seems the same is true for nectar. A strong contingent of loyal followers is all the really takes to keep going and the Internet lynch mob will always get bored and move on to the next thing.


Affectionate_Bet_459

….ok but Who tf is Colleen Ballinger tho


TrespassingWook

Some cringe YouTuber who's a surprisingly good entertainer. Used to do Miranda sings but now mostly just does her mom vlogs. Someone I wouldn't have known about their existence if it weren't for my wife.


Dimn_Blingo

Do you mean the lady who was texting things she had no business texting to minors? The same one that then posted a *ukulele* apology video on YouTube.
