In the future, who's (here) most likely to write The
History of Braindance?

Tom Jenkinson is literate but all-hating.

Richard Devine.

And half the book would be photos of himself with his gear.
And another third would be about him using SuperCollider and
his relationship with the Flashbulb.

Oh, and he might mention the Aphex Twins or the Autechres
and maybe even the Squarepushers in the Epilogue.

I'll write it:

The History of Braindance by glasse

In the early 2000s listeners off the electronic subgenre IDM
(Intellegent Dance Music) became uncomfortable with the name
and tried to come up with some other name to replace it.
They felt Intellegent Dance Music sounded a bit pretentious,
and that it implied that other forms of dance or electronic
music was unintellegent. Granted, while having roots in the
club music of the 80s (techno, hip hop, trance et al), this
new form of electronic music also shared the influence of
musique concrete, electro-acoustic, experimental, noise, and
industrial along with art forms such as abstract,
surrealism, dada, and most notably futurism. This gave this
movement a higher degree of perceived cultural refinement
that set it apart from other club music and to many
justified the label of "intellegent."

One of the many term proposed to replace the name was
Braindance, along with glitch, experimental electronica and
sometimes simply electronica. These new terms only helped
to spark long winded arguments on electronic music
messageboards and cause catagorical confusion.
