The "IDM" cognomen is bogus. There is no doubt that people like squarepusher and AFX don't want to be grouped into a category like this. Why don't you just stop using it. |
||||||||
|

shut up be happy |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what category should they be grouped into? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
doganus, of course |

no category. Is prefuse 73 hip-hop, experimental hip-hop, IDM or jazz? Does it change the music if you call it IDM or would you no longer like afx if it was called 'elecro-rock 'n jazz'. If genres help you find artists you like then you're probably missing out on a ton of artists you might like but havent given a chance because they are in a different genre. |

"The only thing more annoying than the term IDM is people who complain about it all the time" -- Me |

lol... Xanatos I see what your getting at... but i tend to agree. IDM is pretty lame... I just lump it all into the electoinc catagory... makes more sence to me. XD |

squarepusher has a lot of "traditional instruments" though. so sqpsh could be considered traditional jazz with electro influences. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
does traditional jazz exist? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
probably not. Does any genre really exist. |

"experimental electronic" seems to be a vague term that would some up most of these artists. ??? |

no, i'm just saying it would better describe the genre than idm would. i said it i guess... |

I thought IDM was an acronym for Industrial Dance Music. That makes more sence to me and it sounds a little less pretentios |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
still can't "dance" to most of it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think it should be called "IEM" (Intelligent Electronic Music) that would make more sense and give newbies to new-age/electronica a better idea of what to expect - instead of expecting a danceable song or catchy melody (which may apply, but not always) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Does anyone remember the term "Blipvert" as someone who likes IDM? |
||||||||
|

The ''dance'' has always thrown me off... I can't dance to 99% of this stuff. I don't like the term ''IDM'', but I won't stop using it. It's just convenient. We all know what kind of music and what artists someone's talking about when they mention IDM. Just makes life easy. |
||||||||
|

I dont think there is anything wrong with the term idm. Its an easy, if not lazy, way to describe a certain style, nothin wrong with that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i agree with ophecks , i like using the term idm because its easy and fast to write |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i like glitch pop and cliqhop i usually just say experiental electronic though. but i don't mind idm. meh. |
||||||||

"What music is aphex twin?" "Erm... electronic." "So shit then." Can we please have a better name for it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
instead of a better name, why not just punch in the face whoever says "So shit then?" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Hmm, i would but hes like 6 foot 3 and built like a brick shit house. |

yeah...i dont really like saying 'idm' either sounds too pretentious...and 'experimental electronic music' is a bit long...so when asked what i listen to ..i say 'ya know..electronic stuff' and usually get the response 'ohhh..techno eh? oom ts oom ts oom ts' |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I hate the term IDM I make that clear on a weekly basis. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i prefer braindance... but i agree on the experimental electronica.... well sortoff not all "idm" is experimental.. but blah blah blah braindance it is... just cus it sounds cooler and a lot less pretentious than IDM |

Wayout is so right. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
braindance is even more lame, imo. why not stick with electronic music? that's what it is, after all. usually i don't bother explaining to other ppl what i listen to, though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well a lot of rock uses electronic equipment does it not? aren't the genre boundaries becoming more blurred anyways? why not say "fuck genres" and just call it "sound" or "noise" or "music"? if something sounds good it doesn't matter what category people feel the need to put it in -- and the category can stop people from giving music a chance - maybe people would be more open about trying new music if the stigma of a label was not attached? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well i think ppl still want to use categories cause it makes it easier to discuss music? that's just the way it is. but you're right, in a way. cd stores always have seperate sections for the various genres, it's just a question of convenience, i think. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, Intelligent Dance Music, come on... the media would say "This IDM music is for listening with headphones on" or something like that... well, why is it called intelligent DANCE music then? Call it Intelligent Listening Music if anything... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i don't think they used idm. it was chosen for them. you know that saying"if you can't beat them, join em." well that probably happened to them |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, convenience - i hate that concept - convenience food, convenience tv, convenience everything - convenience means gentlefolk don't have to think any more - and the word convention has the same root as convenience too as an interesting side-note... and the word "fact" comes from the root "to make"...shows that the difference between fact and opinion is not so large after all. |

Back when I was first into electronic composers most people said "electroacoustic". Both Aphex Twin and Squarepusher have worked their way into this type of instrumentation. I almost feel a worthy distinction between art driven music and commercially driven music, but those lines are blurred also. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Im still used to saying electroacoustic, so I mostly use that in description of AFX and square. |
||||||||
|

its "dance" because it evolved a lot from dance, acid house, techno, hip-hop, disco, industrial dance... why do people have to pretend this is "better" than those types of music, that is snobbish and stupid, segregating music like that... Rephlex has made a decades worth of music indebted to acid house, drawing from it, but people still insist that it is "better" than that lame, lower class music that you would shake you booty at instead of your braincells. and, yes, this is a pointless discussion, because if you insist on segregating, you are going to keep on trying to draw unbreakable boundries to try to get the music segregated. and isn't all "good" music, Intelligent Listening Music? if you want a label, how about Adult Themed Anti-Contempary Post-Dance actually Post-Dance is a term that might have some meaning, but it sounds pretty lame thou ... are you labeling the music... or are you trying to label yourself, a label to show the world how smart and cool you really are? |
