idm is like a tradition now

like, ten years ago electronic music was this hot new
thing. now people have been wearing aphex twin t-shirts for
years like metal dudes who have been wearing zeppelin
t-shirts for years.

ain't nothing new!

I'll tell you what is disturbing, I hid a porno DVD
somewhere, and now I can't find it.

it's still rather hard to find electronic artist's t-shirts,
but you can find led zeppelin boxers at target. when they
start selling autechre socks then I'll agree with you.

i wonder if there are hardcore metal fans who despise the
ones who wear Metallica t-shirts in the same way I want to
punch anyone wearing an Aphex shirt.

I was in Tennessee last week and got hassled by a couple of
dudes with a pickup truck, missing front teeth and Ryoji
Ikeda t-shirts.

No no, you misunderstand. I was hassled by

a) a couple of dudes with a pickup truck,

b) missing front teeth,

and

c) Ryoji Ikeda t-shirts.

The missing front teeth were the scariest, flitting around
like big sharp ivory colored mosquitoes.

I tend to want to punch people that wear Metallica shirts...
of course there's a lot of people I want to punch. Metallica
shirt wearers do happen to be high on my list, though.

I still haven't ran into anyone wearing an Aphex Twin shirt,
so I can say whether I'd want to punch anyone that wears one
of those shirts. I probably do.

I have got an Aphex Twin t-shirt but most people assume it's
the symbol of some spooky right wing cult. Which in a way it
is, right kids?

ask them. There's just this one place that plays awesome
stuff, but other than that...
most people here listen to greek music

I don't have an Aphex t-shirt and while I'd like to own one,
I'd much rather spray-paint or 'throwie giant ones in
public places (which I haven't done either).

i have an aphex twin tishirt but its really old and full of
holes now. that's the black on white warpmart one. in
highschool i printed my own aphex twin shirts with the rdj
face and so on. i was such a fanboy. i still am, i guess.
anyway, there's nothing wrong with sporting your favourite
artist on your clothes, everyone has a right, even mindless
metallica fans. i'd rather have the afx logo on my clothes
than, say....the nike tick or whatever. many people have
come up and starting talking to me because of my afx shirt.
although you get tired of having the same old aphex twin
conversations with strangers. kind of like tiring of the
same old xltronic.com/mb aphex twin threads.

once this guy at a chinese restaraunt asks me "is that an
aphex twin shirt?" i was surprised. people usually don't
know that stuff here.

nobody says anything about my BoC shirt.

idm is a tradition in my household anyway, every year at
thanksgiving, my mom and dad tell me stories of how they
used to go out raving in the early 90s, off their faces on
all kinds of drugs, then listen to some ambient shit to
chill out. mom always stuffs the turkey with ecstacy tablets
and acid blotters and the whole family bugs out to "higher
state of consiousness" by winx.

good times.

conversations about aphex twin?

lol / wtf.

do you guys have conventions? meets? a forum?!

in the street, shops, pubs, at gigs, raves etc.. you know,
places where people socially gather. a foreign concept to
some idm hermits.

'conversations about aphex twin' is maybe lending it a bit
much. it usually consists of both parties just listing their
favourite aphex twin album and going on about how much they
think it rules.

I'm sure there's someone out there with RDJ face tattooed on
his face. All I know is that even if he spends 30 years
working on tracks in his mother's basement, ain't no label
gonna release him, just cuz his face is retarded.

"like, ten years ago... ain't nothing new!"
ten years before that it was the hot new thing too. depends
how old you are.
imo the heydays of electronic dance music were a) with the
advent of midi/digital about 1982 all genres of producers
going mental. again around 1988, a coupkle of years after
hip hop goin to the next level, with the acid house summer
of love. perhaps to a lesser extent about 93-4 with
techno/idm and jungle/drum and bass kicking off bigger time.
by the time everyone got on the internet around 1996 things
mostly went downhill, althought the highlights as high as
previously. kinda depends how old you are and how much music
you know, your perception. mayday/love parade that was huge
round then. today, with communications as they are,
somethings are old or traditional after about 3 days.
