The term 'intelligent dance music', or IDM, was coined in August 1993 by the (now defunct) IDM mailing list based at hyperreal.org, as a term to describe the sound pioneered by the Warp Records Artificial Intelligence Series. The series featured Aphex Twin tracks (under a different pseudonym), as well as early productions from labelmates such as Autechre and LFO. The usage of this term spread in the USA and on internet messageboards, but the term is still a source of controversy and derision amongst the artists and fans, including Aphex Twin.
Perfect Sound Forever: Another term that's been used to describe your work is intelligent dance music.
I just think it's really funny to have terms like that. It's basically saying, 'this is intelligent and everything else is stupid.' It's really nasty to everyone else's music. (laughs) It makes me laugh, things like that. I don't use names. I just say that I like something or I don't.
—Aphex Twin[33]
When Rephlex staple and musical collaborator Mike (Mike & Rich) Paradinas was asked "'No one says IDM in England?" he answered: "'No, only on message boards when they're talking to Americans!" "No one uses or used it in UK. Only Americans ever used the term. It was invented by Alan Parry who set up the IDM mailing list'."
In the UK, Aphex Twin's music is normally referred to as electronic music due to Aphex Twin's influence coming from electronic musicians such as Parmegiani and his study of electronic engineering in technical college. The official genre name from Rephlex Records is Braindance. Aphex Twin refers to his own breakbeat tracks as breakbeat, jungle, or drum and bass interchangeably. Other genres that he indulges in include acid, ambient, ambient techno, noise, and many more. Rephlex artist Luke Vibert, when presented with the suggestion that he invented a genre called drill 'n bass, replied "What the fuck is drill n' bass?"[34][35]

The next Aphex Twin album will be called Intelligent Dance Music, thereby confirming IDM as a real genre. Wikipedia will be fucked then won't it!!!!!

Wait a minute? Aphex Twin? IDM? WHAT THE FUCK? Aphex Twin makes music. Americans make a fake genre. Fans continue fake genre. Aphex Twin hates fake genre. Suddenly, Aphex Twin releases new album named IDM to support the fake genre made in America. Why? To cause a chain reaction will raise tsunamis and earthquakes all over the world as the revelations of Kuhn Lut Kahn survive the Satanic rituals of Kubbulua 7. Fucking IDM fake genre cunts!!!!!!!

I love the term IDM. It's wonderful! Hopefully one day we will only name genres. Soon the word 'music' will disappear.
