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.
