i fucking hate these pigeon holing genre names. why is it intellegent dance music? and fatboy slim is/was classed as electronica, same as chemical brothers. anyone think of a better pigeon hole besides braindance? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i just call it all electro :] some is more dance other is more wack :) |
||||||||

You say you hate pigeon holeing and then ask for yet another new one? I just call it electronic music if I am pushed for a genre name. |
||||||||
|
|

i never really got those names either. but i hate people who refer to all electronic music as dance music. AAARRRGGGHHH!!!! |

pigeoholing is one of my favourite hobbies... in reality what has been come to be known as idm is really the experimental fringes of all electronic genres (i've made the comparison here before: idm is to house, techno, and dnb, as Lappland is to norway, finland, and sweden)... i'd say a better name for it all would be avant-techno, or experimental electonics... but really, it's more of a relative state of being on the musical spectrum, than it is a genre... when glitch techno is no longer a fringe genre (if this ever happens), it can no longer be considered what we'd call idm... as far as genres go... idm can be subdivided into many many proper genres... glitch-hop, click-house, minimal house, minimal techno, drill'n'bass, etc. |

madonna went glitch last year, n'sync the year before that, and hollywood has used glitch style production for years now |

I just call it ''IDM'' because it's convenient and we all know what we mean when that term is thrown around. I hate it though. If I tell someone I like ''IDM'', I LOATHE to tell them what it actually stands for. |

i call it electronic music. but it can be misleading to people. they might think i listened to a specific electronic music genre which i might not be really into that much |
||||||||

i like the term IDM. |

when they hear "electronic music" they think of dance music like house/techno/d'n'b. I do enjoy some of it (expecially d'n'b) but my main passion is erhm "home listening electronic music" ...but then again some of it can be enjoyed in a club. you see? it's hard to fucking explain yourself, because IDM (don't hit me) has so much diversity :) |

"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 hey 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." i posted this on another thread, but i thought people stopped caring about the name or whatever. figured i might as well post it again. |

Do you think people don't like the name IDM as it's too literal, unlike funk, hiphop, electro, jazz, indie, folk, house, rock etc. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
funk, hip-hop, folk, and rock are as literal as can be, the rest are somewhat literal too when you think about it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
except jazz which comes from jizz, and house.. i don't know the story behind that genre name |

rock is named after the rocky edge of the guitar riffs, folk because of its everyday folk quality of who would write and perform the songs and pass them on like a joke or story, funk because of the funkiness of the bass among other elements, and hip-hop because it was at the time a very hip new thing with a jaunty rhythm (again at the time).. indie from independent (no real musical meaning, so it definitely gained a sound by connotation instead of denotation), electro associated with electronics obviously.. but idm is strictly literal and a pretty dull name, no doubt |

''Funk'' is the best genre name, makes my soul smile. Sounds like it would stink though. |
