I know people dislike the expression. Many say its not "danceable" or "music" some even argue its "intelligence". I say the term is not incorrect but rather dated,a few years ago the whole term fitted perfectly like Surfing On Sine Waves.It was intelligent,dancable and 'twas music. I say keep the term,like people have kept the term "Rock".It would never change names because of its history, thats what music is built upon,its own history.Athough it can evolve sub-genres (but thats a whole different subject ). So by changing the term "IDM" we discard the genre's history which brought you here. But then again this genres about evolving isn't it? |

Look at me with my crazy ramblings. |

If I'm forced to use a name, I prefer braindance, but I usually don't see music as rock or techno or trance or braindance or whatever, it's just music to me. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
...or we can use the name idm while forgetting what it stands for. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's strange because "IDM" is music you cant label, so in a way it doesnt make sense to label it, braindance is more accurate or even just electronica or electronics |
||||||||

|
someone on here wrote an interesting essay about what "IDM" is and why the label though pretentious does make a little bit of sense |

i like it myself.. it's a thousand times better than any other suggestion ive ever heard anyone else make. if you are going to start subcategorising techno music then why not use the term IDM? people who get all bent out of shape about using 'IDM' get on my nerves.. hip hop producers usually aren't manually juggling loops back and fourth on turntables these days.. so they aren't really 'hip hopping' anymore.. but people don't get upset about that label.. pfft.. |

good HIP point HOP HOP.. on a related note, live dj's backing emcees on stage are a joke. play the 12" instrumental cut, fade to the next one. repeat. exceptions: nu-mark & cut chemist, chief xcel, and _______ (fill in the blank!) |

my only problem is the 'intelligent' part... implying, not so subtly, that other forms of music are un-intelligent. a pompous condescending viewpoint that a lot of people in the more "underground" genres of music seem to take... and one which puts a sour taste in my mouth. I know it’s all been said a bzillion times, and, not that I even that I care much at all about the name, but, it reflects some things that I really dislike about the whole scene in general. |

"internet dork music" - lust incarnate |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thats not as bad as the rock/pop band that had a dj as a 7th or 8th member.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I get more annoyed that there are so many threads discussing this name... who really cares what music is called... I love this music, yet if it was labeled by the music industry or something as shit, I wouldn't care... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
come on now... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
then name 3 idm albums you love |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
most stuff by Autechre, some Squarepusher, some Aphex Twin, Boards of Canada, Jega, etc, etc... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
As it says on the rephlex site: "It's not intelligent, it's not dance, it's not music" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you didnt name one. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i prefer the term, irreverent dunce muzak |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm sick of insolent bastards without any education ravaging the fruits of IDM as if it were Regular Dance Music... their time will come though. |

GRROW UP ASSHOLE |

|
|
why do I need to specify specific albums, when albums by those groups, which would be considered by most people here as IDM, I love? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
heh, specify specific... that sounds funny... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lol internet dork music.. i loved when she said that epohs there is a sort of "intelligent" aspect to it that comes with less periodicity and academic musical influences.. this was that essay i was talking about () |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I agree with that,in no way are any other genres un-intelligent. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I would like to answer your question directly, but considering your past reactions I feel that to do so would be a disservice to you at this time. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
considering my past reactions? Huh? Answer the stupid question, or else quit posting these stupid vague messages... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
See, what did I tell you? You are flying off the handle already! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
not flying off the handle, just seems like a stupid thing to say is all... answer my question, and quit telling my why you won't... |
||||||||

titsworth...I read almost the whole essay, I agree with alot of points that were made, especially that it is constanly evolving into new music. Good read. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so what kind of music is bjork? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
pop music - but that covers lots of genres doesnt it :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

Internet Dork Music is a great way to put it! I also like Intimate Dude Music. And I heard somebody else say I Don't Masturbate. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
this whole arguement is just silly and idm is a pointless stuck up label for geeks - i'm talking to you fuckwagon |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I HATE HATE HATE telling people I listen to IDM, and then have to explain to them what it stands for... and then defend myself. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think it's far more anal to get bent out of shape with what people call it. what are you so insecure about? why do you CARE? just be glad people are feeling it, that's all that matters. be a nerd about star wars or math, leave music to listening and appreciating. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I often find when I tell people I listen to "electronica",they think I mean like trance/dance. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
This genre will always be commonly known as IDM,its just a name,who cares what it stands for?Its about the music. And after typing that,I think to myself..."Why did I even create this topic?" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i was wondering the same thing |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
umm, correct me if i am wrong, actually don't correct me, but when i talk about music and describe it to somebody as IDM, i am only saying it so the person has a point of reference, i am not using it because i totally believe in it being "Intelligent Dance Music", it doesn't make me some wanna-be intellectual hanging around thinking i am cool. i amusing this term like i use the word "kiss my ass" to let someone know i don't like em, just like i use the term "what the fuck?" to verbalize my confusion.....so don't fuckin get all smartassy to someone who says IDM, and flame em forever, its a frikkin word, |

i normaly same fucked up stuff you wont like it works for me |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
just out of curriosity; if it was referred to as 'irritating dance music', or 'uninspired dance music', or 'rediculous dance music', ect... would all of you who say "who cares about a name" still say the same thing? or is it that 'intelligent dance music' is self-congradulatory, and you happen to agree with it, so, you feel that the name is ok? i'm not trying to start a flame war... just offering a different viewpoint. |
||||||||

i normaly say fucked up stuff you wont like it works for me corectin myself |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes and yes |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Was that directed at anyone in particular? |
