I was recommended to make a new post out of this, and I think I should since its quite interesting. I'm doing some research into the whole 'braindance' thing and was wonderiing if you'd agree that its predominantly male dominated and if so, you think of any reasons why? I can't really tell since I've never been to live performances etc. Cheers, Ben |

SpaZpheX from PAlAcIlsuRRounDSouND on 21:08 11/11/2001 Well, i reckon, and don't all jump down my throat on this- it's just my opinion, but the music is kind of cold and calculating, the way it's made is much like constructing a fantastic new building. The end result is beautiful but the thinking behind it is mathmatical and practical. Male thinking, not female. Can anyone think of some electronic music which has female character? This is a very interesting question you have raised and i really think you should start a new thread on it if you want lots of people to reply to it! |

Eh? I don't think you understand, I'm looking to see if there are any differences, and if so why not if it *should*. And the rest of what you are saying, I don't have a clue... |

I don't care if its a guy, girl or transexual. I'm doing a sociology paper into it, thats why I need to know peoples opinions on it. |

Ok then, if you think that, then where are all the females on this board? Are they hiding? And its not about what you think it should be like, its what it is like and why. |

It's an interesting question...I agree with you, IDM does seem to be predominately male orientated but I think the same is true for most of the dance music sub-genres...Theres no getting away from the fact that it's quite a "Technical" musical form and maybe it's that side of things that makes it appeal more to guys... But it's tricky area and trying to decide whether it's nature or nuture behind this sort of bias is very difficult to work out...there are probably much wider cultural reasons for this imbalance that go far beyond the music itself... Have you read "Speed Tribes"? Theres some great stuff in there about Otaku in Japan: obsessive fans (generally male)...pop to your local lib and see if you can pick up a copy, it might give you some ideas or potential directions to investigate further... Let us know how you get on... |

What jand said. Also (And I think this point has been made before) girls are less inclined to use messageboards/the internet generally, hence fewer people of the female persuasion here. Also, Will: Like it or not, it's a fact that girls and blokes are different, in terms of the mind - hence it's quite possible that this kind of music is less appealing to girls than to guys. I know that a higher percentage of the blokes I know (even IRL) like Aphex Twin than the girls. Also, elipsis marks are made with full stops, not commas. |
