Intelligent Dance Music

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.
