New Term for IDM...

there has been alot of people talking about how IDM is a
shit name (i agree)...

...and i was reading a review of Boards of Canada online,
and the guy called them "Electronic Drug Music"

i thought that was pretty fucking funny. It kind of works...
i mean for several reasons:

1. People who hear it for the first time assume that anyone
who listens to it, has to be on drugs.
2. While listening to it, it can feel like you are on
drugs...even if you arnt
3. If you are on drugs... it sounds FUCKING AWESOME.

so yeah

EDM... electronic drug music!

lots of ppl are complaining about idm-when they have to
explain the term to ppl that don't know what it stands for

i can't see why edm would be any better

i like electronic drug music.

but i also quite like 'electronica', because it's just a
general term,

unlike the stupid terms 'IDM' and 'braindance', both of
which imho suck eggs.

i usually like to call it snares.....but then again it´s
betta just to call it by separate names, afx, spusher,
u-ziq, whatever.......y really hate the terms idm or even
"electronica", ´cause it just doesn´t apply ´ya
know?...........oh well..whatever....

Trying to categorize music always frustrates me, so I just
say "electronica" if I have to say
anything.

"2. While listening to it, it can feel like you are on
drugs...even if you arnt"

One time when I was in a record store with a friend, they
were playing "Geogaddi" in the store and he said it made him
feel like he was high and he didn't even know who it was [he
doesn't know much about IDM]..

I still like EEM

give it up..

okay you might get about a dozen people here to agree...
then try and plonk EDM in your search fields and see what
comes up...NADA

just accept it..we are stuck with IDM...there's thousands of
online resources available for it...

btw..all the IDM gets filed under Downbeat down here

we could call it IDM: Intelligent Drug Music

but anything with "dance" in it is complete and utter
bullshit as Aphex Twin should not be described as a mere
dance-musician..

I agree that DANCE does not belong in any electronic
acronym... but DRUG? That's even worse!

IDM is here to stay... and it's too bad, it's completely
moronic...
