The ones who liked the scene and original music?
Good answer.
The way I saw that all go down, a few years younger than you... the Dead Heads initially jumped on Phish, but then there was a split right around 97 where half of them went Widespread and the other half stayed with Phish.
If you wanted weed, shrooms, acid, you went to phish lot.
If you wanted meth, crack, x, opiates, you went to widespread.
Phish was about (1) The music (2) the drugs
Widespread was about (1) The drugs (2) the music
Just my observation as a bonafide hippie during that time period.
