this is sort of inspired by the posts brought up regarding an XLT-subculture & an IDM influence in rock. what long term effects might IDM have in general in the music industry? does IDM harbor a clear & present message? should IDM be kept "underground" so as to protect it from corruption by popular media and culture, or should it be expressed freely and have the liberty to cast an influence on the music industry? would it change culture and society in general as well? it's quite a broad spectacle. anyone else occasionally ponder this? |

ehhhh, tis why i mix intelligence with club-friendly stuff...keep a good message, but get it to the people somehow. hell yeah i think it's got a message to send, as far as i can see with all electro, IDM seems the most personal |

that was the funniest reply since somebody said (in reference to a weird picture of richard devine): "that looks like some kind of rock monster" The exclamation point helped it seem like a motto they'd teach with zest in an IDM classroom. The IDM philosophy is best quoted by zip masta zack, the king of idm, from mp3.com "I only have one philosophy, if you have a problem don't call me." His gay song was about telephones or something. Unfortunately mp3.com's song limitation makes it unavailable for listening. |

don't know .. we get manipulated by media and our own little "subculture" as well ... whether or not it will/should influence music culture, i think to some extent it already has. but its difficult to predict mods and fads ... if there is a philosophy to idm - i'm with titsworth ! |

korben, I found a site that is totally target at getting away from the media's information filtering process. It is called www.memestreams.net I havn't used it yet, but will whenever I get my own computer. It's creator seems intelligent and funny. Consider the internet link for people seeking employment in their corporation: The Industrial Memetics Institute is looking for energetic, intelligent, creative people who will do what they are told, when they are told, and how they are told to do it. You will send us your resume, along with a very carefully crafted cover letter. We will throw it into the trash. We will not respond. We will continue to insist that we have open positions for which you are perfectly qualified, but we will not respond. We will go before the United States Congress and insist that we cannot fill the positions we need to fill and that they need to change the law to make things easier for us. We still won't respond to your resume. This isn't about you. This is how we "negotiate" salaries and raises with our existing employees. However, if it does so happen that we DO actually want to employ you, we will have our head hunters call you at your current place of employment several times a day until you succumb to our organization's needs. Working at Industrial Memetics: The most important thing for you to understand about working at Industrial Memetics is our dress code. Our dress code is business casual. This is because we don't want you to look good, but we don't want you to be comfortable either. We want the clothing you wear to be a constant reminder of your status within society. You are not powerful, and you are not free. The sooner you understand this the better off you'll be. Intellectual Property: Be sure to include with your resume a signed statement granting us all rights to any idea, invention, writing, patent, or copyright which you may conceive, develop, or produce at any time, even if we decide not to hire you. It is important that you understand |

IDM makes easily influenced people disregard music with soul and melody. it also opens up new worlds of music to people with open minds. |
