I agree with ophecks...I don't like the term 'IDM' at all but its just easy and as I said on my survey, everyone knows what kind of music it is. I find 'electronic' a bit too vague and if I say that to people they are like 'ohhh, so paul van dyk and ian van dahl and stuff?'. I often usually say 'experimental electronic music' but when typing on the net I say IDM..takes less effort. I find the term 'braindance' even cheesier than IDM and never use that.

But actually, a few people I know thought it was industrial. And I think the 'dance' should be dropped, I ain't ever going to try dance to Ziggomatic or Boneville Occident!

i would say is anti-conventional music.
so in a few years idm of today will no longer be idm. it will evolve into something else..
i'd call it now... reaccionary music (electronic or not)

I call it music. Nothing more, nothing less. I know loads have people have said this, but we can go on about this for years and still come out with no conclusion. Just shut up and listen. (note to self - copyright last sentence)

yeah i'd do that too...
but you can't deny any category contains an escence... and escences are very important to me... what i'm trying to do is to put the overall escence of the "IDM" or "braindance" genre into words.
but yes it is just music.

that would be cool if you could do more with music than listening, like eating it! a producer would be like a chef

i think that Rephlex's "braindance" was suppossed to be joke, making fun of the over serious sounding "IDM". Braindance is supposssed to be silly.

OK, i thought that "alternative" had bagged the definition of "anti-conventional"? i really hate the word "intelligent" in IDM - it should cause hatred and loathing among the rabble! so condescending!
IDM fan: "ha! keep your happy hardcore handbag dance! for i listen to INTELLIGENT dance music you wench!"
handbagger: "yes sah!"

IDM is a stupid term, but people know what you're talking about when you use it. IT doesn't really matter what you call it as long as its something people can identify.
