its really a tired discussion. i generally think its a bad
name, but, people take it way too seriously.

lets say you have "alternative rock"....whats so alternative
about it? nothing, as far as i can tell. what makes one
alternative? the term is really unaccurate!

yet, nobody gets upset or takes that seriously. why should i
take the term idm seriously? well, i dont. i really dont
care.

neither should anyone else. its like they only get upset
because its their music of choice, yet they dont complain
about the rest of the 99% of genres that are unnaccurate
according to the people who listen to them.

people just need to chill. straight up.

Same here.

People say "What are you listening to?"

And I say, 'some shit you wouldn't like'. I judge it
unfairly before they get the chance to.

now... don't get me started on other genres.

that gal darned "bee bop" has been pissin' me off for nearly
60 years now! there's nothing "bee" or "bop" about it!...
well, it may be slightly boppy, but, not much.

and "scat"!? well...

idm is an annoying name if you want to think about it too
much. but its not worth thinking about. its just
functional.
nobody really has come up with a better, catchier name that
functions the same way.

i try to not let the genre name get in the way of checking
out some awesome music.

i only use the term IDM, when talking to people who know the
different genres of electronic music.

ive tried using it before, and the whole explaining it thing
is just annoying.

Now, if people dont know what im talking about... I say,
experimental electronic music, or ambient/minimalism. or
soundcollage.

but, these are kind of more specific...

Yes I like to say experimantal electronic or just
soundscapes.

replies.Why is that?

I believe it was "Iggy the drunk monkey" that came up with
the first IDM tune... hence the initials

what's wrong with just saying experimental electronic,
abstract electronic, or something to that effect. I think
the word intelligent was used when artsy, abstract or
something to that effect should have been used instead.
