On a scale on 1-10 how well does this text describe... a) you? b) IDM-fans in general? "I is for intelligent.... D= dance... M is for muzak... in other words... its pretentious elitist pseudo-house or hip-hop music that people would never, ever actually dance in a club if it was actually being played by the DJ. we are better than you, whoever you are. most of the people here still have their mommies cook them dinner and wash their clothes. the typical listens to this genre through mp3s on their computer, never actually even hearing the bass that might attempt to shake your booty. most IDM-ers listen to one mp3 from an album, then decide that it is the worse shit they have ever heard, or the greatest thing since microwaving food to death. most IDM-ers also have a porn addiction." (text above was originally posted by i don't know, on '') |

i am not intelligent! i am not dance! i am not music! i am not better than you either... what does it mean anyway better? according to which standards? "most of the people here still have their mommies cook them dinner and wash their clothes." > now i don't care whether it is true or not but i don't get what's the point of this? in which way does it matters at all when it comes to music, if you do the chores or if your mother does them? : ) "the typical listens to this genre through mp3s on their computer, never actually even hearing the bass that might attempt to shake your booty" > you dumb fuck. : P i don't listen to music with my ass, i listen to it with my ears. and i have good headphones and a good sound quality... if your PC configuration doesn't emit basses, consider changing your equipment! "most IDM-ers listen to one mp3 from an album, then decide that it is the worse shit they have ever heard, or the greatest thing since microwaving food to death" > i agree with ONE thing off this: some people tend to over-praise some music... well... if it ever means anything. "most IDM-ers also have a porn addiction." > i don't think it has something to do with idm - rather with being on a messageboard all the time. ; ) |

yup that seems to be me, except for the "listening to one mp3 and then praising/trashing an entire album." o yeah, and you wanna hear bass? listen to the system on my comp, i literally have to turn the bass _down_ in both winamp and on my mixer for most stuff to be even listenable! bah |

a)2 b)3 I don't know where we got this reputation... most people here like other sorts of music just as much... there are loads of dnb and hip hop fans, people into classical music, jazz, etc. I mean come on, we had a thread about Kylie's latest track the other day and several people liked it. This idea that we're all elitist idiots who stroke our chins whilst listening to the latest ae imitating glitch act is a bit off the mark to say the least. And the comment about the the bass on mp3s is dim to say the least. I listen to vinyl and cds through the same system as my mp3s. Dunno what mp3s they've been listening to, but mine certainly have bass in them... I can actually feel the floor pulsing now. It's such a stupid argument really as if there was no floor shaking bass (for dancing to in clubs) the stanton final scratch (mp3DJing system) and traktor would never be used in clubs. People do dance to IDM in clubs, I've played Aphex Twin and FSOL and had the dance floor just as full as when playing some mindless chart fodder. I love it when fans of other genres, can write off our music as souless noise, but if we criticise their genre (for example, garage) it's due to elitism. Personally, I find the drum and bass heads in Cardiff and Bristol are a lot more up themselves than IDMers... |
