i argue now for about a month with my friend about the term idm. i know this has been discussed lots before, but i really wanna know your opinion KNOW. is a link with a short but quite good article about it. i mean in lots of articles like this i read that idm at the beginning had something to do with dancefloor music, raving. but know ? i mean when i know ask someone about idm artist's he mentions otto von schirach, venetian snares, autechre. but is this idm ? what does this have to do with dancing ?? |
||||||||

idm means nothing as it covers too many genres |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
ugh.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

yeah i know that game ! wasn't that the one you had th fly with that helicopter and collect cave people ?? come on... |
||||||||

i'm just curious how this all evolved... what people think as idm now. i always thought that otto, snares and ae ARE in fact idm. but know i'm not sure any more |

"i always thought that otto, snares and ae ARE in fact idm" if it isnt idm, does it change anything? imo it is still great music so who really cares... |

pigeonholing music into genres is not an exact science.. and sometimes it has some nasty side-effects (genre snobbery being one). the thing is, music has come so far and so many styles have melted into one another (especially with electronic music) its hard to set some things aside from one another. personally, i dont like the term idm - because it really doesnt mean much, literally or musically.. i prefer "electronica" - but even that is a massive umbrella. as is techno, drum&bass, jazz etc etc. its always been this way.. take "rock" for example. hendrix falls into that category (and also into blues & r&b) but, so does status quo.. or robert palmer.. or phil collins.. sigh.. |

haha, thats something you havent heard before, right? :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well.. it is a hideous cliché but, like all the best clichés, its true.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
erm, not really. but so many people use the term idm, me too. but i would want to know what i'm talking about. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if you don't know what you're talking about, i'd definitely steer clear of using that terminology. there are no rules, so its going to mean something slightly (or dramatically) different to different people. i wouldnt lose sleep over it if i were you. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
why the hell would anyone seriously use the term "idm"!?!? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
not really loosing sleep, but i was argueing kinda ruff with my friend about it... i mean that's a term that shouldn't really exist... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well then we all seem to agree.. the term is more or less redundant. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you never used it ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
fuck that's kinda scary... i mean a few thousand people use a term not even knowing what it means... ! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
same can be said of many, many things in this world.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
example ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
*sigh* musicpoliticsartracereligionsexualityhistoryliterature etc. too much to go into here and now. all i meant was that i've met a lot of people that talk knowledgeably about things they only relaly have a loose grip on. thats about it really. |
||||||||

|
|
kinda disgusting... curious that only one person has something intelligent to say about this... a pity |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sometimes its tough, though, when someone asks: "what kind of music dyou listen to?" and all i can give is names... cause how in the freak do you describe autechre to someone... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
until today i said - "idm" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yup |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yup what ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"I listen to inventive, non repetitive electronic music,... and no,.. it's not what you're thinking of,.. you just have to hear it to know" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you can dance to some idm. Well maybe not you but I can :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yup IDM |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
What DOES "imo" stand for? (No, it is not a typo, I didn't mean IDM, that's "intelligent dance music," I know that, but the phrase you seem to use often instead of saying "in other words.." or something like that, "imo."). What are the letters for? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
autechre is pop venetian snares is rythm & blues |
||||||||
