can you honestly imagine saying 'intelligent dance music' out loud? I certainly hope not--it's the most pretentious genre moniker ever conceived. Might as well call it "the stick in my ass makes me better than you". IDM sounds kinda neat; maybe I'll think of it as ingesting diabolical matrix, or intrinsic destructive malice, or interstitial diabetic malignancy, or .. luckily everyone who knows what I listen to hates it, so I can refer to it as 'my shit', or 'that twitchy shit', or .. yes yes, we've been over this before (no I'm not referring to my threads sucking.. haha yes I aren't) |

i think the name suits intelligent listeners that we most definitely are. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok, so I recommend we elevate the name even further, i.e.: MAJESTIC GENIUS AUDIO FIBRILLATORS (the last of course because our intellects allow us to make sense of anything) how about GLORIOUS TWATS you twat |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
infact mabye it could be called "music for intelligent people only" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
excellent...just what i was thinking. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
just what i was thinking, even before i read this |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i gave up. ppl always ask me what i listen to, it goes like this "so what are you into?" "IDM" "what?" "intelligent dance music" "huh?" "experimental electronica" "hm?" ".....techno..." "eww that sucks, its so repetative and gay" "well i also like ambience" "huh? whats that" |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
techno > idm |
||||||||
|

you know, if you don't want to slander the good name by calling it various forms of shit like I do, I recommend violence: "you listen to what?" *uppercut* "wait, who?" double backflip ultra ineffectual judo seismic counter wave! 12389 |

It should be called Electric Boogie Break Dance |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
too siss-ass, sorry sis. Needs to evoke at least some superiority, even if veiled. therefore I recommend REVERSABLE MUTANT SEIZURE FORCE |

i like IDM, the term and everything. i have no problem with it. but others do when i try and explain. because the word dance is in there, all the ppl who try to explain it to use the combination of the word dance and electronically made to quickly categorize it as rave or techno. then they immediatly think i listen to darude, and thus im a faggot. hmm ill give it a try myself. Intelligent Pattern Noise "IPN" if you dont like it fuck off |

|
|
i tell them the truth when ppl ask me; i listen to the most brilliant music but it's for intelligent people only, so fuck off dumb asses. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

comeon, but how can you stand to say it is 'intelligent'? I have a real problem with adjectives used in naming schemes which provide no illumination and only have subjective semantics, often arrogant. For instance in programming there are 'smart pointers', which are usually 'scoped pointers' or 'reference counted pointers'--the word smart is meaningless, and just makes the originator look like a cunt. me and my intelligent cat listen to intelligent music in my intelligent home, because I am so haughty |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah i know it is a little arrogant but really, it took allot of intelligence to produce some of the electronica we listen to. and we have to say its intelligent because in the fields of music genres, its the smartest most intelligent one there is when compared to some others such as pop and rap. |

who farted? |

a t shirt with: music for intelligent people only on it would be lush |
||||||||

Anyone who uses the term IDM should be ridiculed from now on. -IT IS YOUR DUTY- |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
the one who smelt it dealt it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah I can imagine it now: Stranger:"Hey man, what kinda music is "music for intelligent people"?...I just saw your shirt...." Me: "Exactly, your too dumb to know." and walk away. how fun would that be |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

FACT: I am a cunt |

|
|

"So what do you call this music?" me: "IDM" "whats that stand for?" me: "No clue, thats just what people call it. I dont think it stands for anything really." |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|

Come on, no one has a problem with product names like, "Power Shakes"... People have been using self-congratulatory names in music for years and unlike the IDM artists, the artists/labels themselves made them up. Look at early turntablists, everyone is "Grandmaster", "Grandwizard", "Grandmixer" or "Cutmaster". Dub artists prefix their artist name with, "Prince" or "King", etc. Certainly, "Intelligent Dance Music" sounds like you think you're more intelligent than your average pop/commercial dance fan (who likes nothing else), but let's be honest, a hell of a lot of us are, aren't we? The fact that we get upset over the way people percieve us as elitist (because of the name) is so common that it's recognised as a quality of IDM fans in itself! "...some of them despise the term..." (Ishkur's Guide to Electronic Music) So; it's not an ideal name, and even by genre definition's standards, it's not a great indicator of what a track will sound like (compared to saying, "Oh, it's Indie-rock" or, "It's Drum and Bass"), however, and this is the most important thing and the reason a) We use genre names and b) We shouldn't let it worry us is, IT'S SIMPLY CONVENIANT WHEN TALKING TO PEOPLE WHO ARE FAMILIAR WITH THIS SORT OF MUSIC MUSIC! Certianly, the term isn't ideal, but it's pretty much here to stay, even if we all boycotted it, the press/industry would still refer to it as that. So, let's keep using it, but keep a knowing glint in our eyes as we say it, eh? :) |

i just say experimental electronica, but that more a description than a name but whats the use of the name idm if nobody knows it or wants to use it but we're just stuck with idm, braindance is gay (in the original meaning of the word mostly) anyway |

lets call it rabbitface. |
||||||||
|
|

|

its been done like a gazillion times before. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ahhhh it's ok, leave it as it is. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The term idm really does seem to be dying out. The phrase is more often critiqued than actually used. "mentally ill computer music music" |
||||||||

|
|
ah, that was quite funny the nonsense remarks, never refrain from posting those people |
