IDM stands for Intelligent Dance Music (also referred to as braindance). It's called intelligent because the sounds are usually manually programmed. IDM songs are likely to be non-linear (unlike trance and techno). While other kinds of dance can be made in 10-20 minutes (come up with a catchy tune, pick the sounds from a synthesizer and repeat it), IDM can have very complicated and unrepetitive drum patterns. Unfortunately I can't answer the rest of your question.

IDM is the name of a genre of music that seems to focus on copying Autechre, Aphex Twin, Boards of Canada, or one of their clones.

I use the term sometimes. The Rephlex label obviously don't mind using it. I think I read somewhere that Richard thought it was one big joke basically, to a certain extent I agree with him:
sitting there and thinking simply "This is a wicked tune" is one thing.
sitting there and thinking "hmmmm, yes, oh yes this is so much more intelligent than normal music." That would kind of take it out of it a bit, it is possible to dissapear up your own arse if you get too obsessed with something. Even if you're going against the norm. "Intelligent Dance Music" seems to encourage that from my point of view. Maybe everyone else comes from a different angle, maybe I'm talking shit, forgive me, it's quarter to one and I'm pretty tired, peak time for making a dick out of myself on MBs. Few more posts, then thats my lot.
