If you observe the roots of Electronica over the past 40-50 years (new age, Ambiant, noisescape, concreten and so on) the term IDM just seems retarded. Does Itelligent Dance Music refere to the drum & Bass/Ambiant crossover or just Bands like Aphex twin and squarepusher, or autechre. What the hell is up???? Coments??? |

Intelligent Dance Music to me: Refers to electronica music that is intelligent. (Most Dance music, i.e. on the radio/pop/house/mainstream trance and hip hop has been dumbed down for the general public hence, not "intelligent") True the Dance part isn't necessarily accurate but who cares? Its just slipped into vocabulary, anyway, I've been known to Dance to some AFX and BoC in my house :) |

although IDM may seem like a retarded term (i am from Fort Worth, TX by the way) how else would you categorize these artists? You can't just slap a standard dance label on these guys -- Autechre has their own genre, as do Squarepusher and Aphex Twin. The fact of the matter is that IDM is a term which is used to categorize the artists who can't really be categorized. It is music that is intelligent -- an oasis in the desert of dull raver music. (although i will admit some of the earlier Aphex Twin and AFX has rave potential) |

In my opinion calling it IDM all the time is the first step to mass commercializing this product as mucis. Its a stupid tag, its not intelligent, its different. Its anything, why dont you call it DDM its just stupid. IDM, who cares, just watch soon they will be selling it as IDM, and have its own section. Its all over then. Worthless, just as bad as the rest of the music industry. |

I like the term cerebral music, or just electronic seems to cover a wider group. Intelligent music is all right, but I don't think the dance part is a very accurate discription for EVERY song that is filed under this "genre". |

Fun is fine . and ofcourse its fun. but.... er... IDM is kinda stupid. When someone asks me what kind of music I listen to, besides saying breakbeats, and some hip hop/scratching, and drumn/bass and shit. I say pretty much electronic. DIFFERENT STUFF> |

i suppose the music is inteligent, but a much better word would be creative. you think that's a bad genre name? i think the worst one yet is "Post-Rock" i.e. godspeed you black emperor! what the fuck is post rock? after rock? so godspeed is the final word on rock and roll? i don't get it at all. |

I have an idea... Call it Non-Repetitive Electronica... That's what I class some of my stuff to be, when I can't think of any other name for it (ie. the electronic-funk-hiphop-dance-rock stuff and hard-industrial metal techno jazz jungle-core) |

I dont call it IDM coz it sound like Im too dumb to like it, so Im not allowed to listen to it. I dont think other music is dumbed down, its just thats what people like. When people hear Aphex and say "what is this shit? Its mad, turn it off!" Its coz they dont like it, not coz they're dumb. |

call it braindance! that covers robert normandeau to dmx krew! and it's the term that aphex himself recommends. if the aphex fansites don't adopt this term, then IDM will live forever (sob) |
