Well, you are listening to great music, so it must make you more intelligent!

seems like a reversed cause/effect relation... isn't it rather "you are more intelligent, so it must make you listen to great music"?
and even so... chacun ses goûts! (each one has its own tastes) :)

i don't think you get smarter by listening to so-called "idm", but you're clearly open-minded musicwise at least. and that's always a good thing.
i feel sorry for all those tossers that are listening to eurodance or all of that f*ckin' top40 shite. it ain't da shiznatz, if yis ge' me drift.

open-minded?
yeah... but it can depend — if you only listen to idm, denigrating other genres, you're not really open-minded...

you probably had to be quite open-minded in the beginning to get into the idm stuff, i reckon. but it works the other way around as well, of course.

it0s just that some peoples hear more than other, some peoples are able to get more details and character of music, other peoples can't understand, or won't understand that other good music exist, just cliché peoples IMO

since music influencates your mood... if you're listening to idm or if you have idm tracks in your head, you're seeing things differently — not only things related to music...

I feel superior because I listen to IDM. Am I a cocky twat? Yes. But you can't but feel a notch above the rest of the monkeys when CockVer10 is blasting out the car and turning heads, while everyone else has some lame mainstream bassy p hop playing.
I find IDM fans are a hell of a lot smarter and more interesting, anyway.

i think listening to certain types of music does make you more intelligent if you really follow and grasp what's going on. comprehending music is a valuable skill. obviously in idm, jazz, classical, etc. there's more to grasp than in punk or pop, but there's meaning to every note of every composition.

music doesn't make you more intelligent... music is only as good as what you bring to it, thus, you have to already be of a certain intelligence or personallity type or whatever, to like IDM, Jazz, classical, or whatever... that's just my opinion...

Before IDM my life was upside down. I'd go out with friends, yes, I had friends back then. There was time to kill and I would waste hours being social and taking care of them. They would ask me out and we'd meet some girls from school and go watch a movie.
NOW, when I first started to listen to IDM, I noticed how I didn't have to answer their calls anymore. I felt no need to call back either! I would sit home alone, hypnotized by the distorted beats, masturbating. My full acne camo returned within days of no care! I strongly feel that without IDM my life would be the same hell it always was. IDM is solely responsible for these fantastic results. Thank you, Sean, Rob and Richard.

Not that the music makes you smarter, but smarter people tend to gravitate to... erm... smarter music. I've never talked to an Autechre fan that was a stupid Abercrombie and Fitch frat boy moron.

I dont think so
I can just think about some nu metal messageboard where someone goes, "Nu metal will make you cleverer". and clearly this is not the case.
I just like the music, i dont want to put it up on some pedestal it cant live up to.

I think that it kinda does, but how exactly are you measuring the inntelligence here? A quotent? Clverness? Imagination? Creativity? I think that it doesnt really affect intelligence, or measure it for that matter, but I think that theres a difference between those who listen to Trashy club techno, and then those who listen to AFX and Autechre and whatnot. But only when it comes to creativity and imagination. You know, we just dont pick techno or IDM so we can f'n DANCE to it or take drugs and wig out on it.

yes, there is a difference, but I don't think it's necessarily an intelligence difference but more of a personality difference... those who like IDM maybe just take music more seriously, and spend more time listening... it doesn't mean we're smarter, but that we just enjoy listening to music more, and take it more seriously...

ok, this is from an old post, too lazy to retype, everything again...
>>>
i think what the funkmaster said (i think it was him) is that with this kind of music there is a lot more detail to pick out... it may make you feel more intelligent but it's more that you can notice things better, the "little things" seem more vibrant (sp) to whatever sense receives the type
of stimulation.
i think autechre and BoC effected me the most... when i first listened to these artists i was bored or what not... but as i forced myself to listen i began to notice a lot more in the music. such as sounds intereacting... and the formation of mental imagery.
the people that listen to mainstream music don't get the joy of the artists place detail within the music... drums, bass, guitar, and vocals. the element thats only up for interpretation in "pop" music is the vocal... and drums for
their feet to interpret too. pop music is intended to just be "popped" in and almost be comes the background, or a
"mood setter".
electronic on the other hand is "listening music".
hope that made some sense, i'm damn tired.

Yeah I think that ^ (nhiiq) is pretty true. As a person who used to mainly listen to underground melodic punk (not poppunk) I feel that I tried to do the same thing, that is, listen to the deeper points of music (sound interactions, mental imagery) and I quickly gravitated towards IDM because there truly is so much more to listen for, every song reminds me of some past experience I have lived and the feelings associated with that experience. The aspect I find the most ironic is that those who only listen to pop have no idea what they are missing... On intelligence, well I don't feel any smarter, mostly just that my senses are being stimulated in a way that regular music doesnt come near, and maybe that could account for the feeling of becoming more intelligent. Hope this is useful ;)

hold on, we just listen to electronic music, or the most of them is electronic generated music. if i ask a mainstream trancehead what for sound he likes to listen to it, he maybe answers "electronic" or "techno" or something, "sorry, you're a lier"
