I'm so fuckin' tired of this title, it's just behind "Happy Hardcore" as the lamest genre name. I'm embarassed to speak it outloud. Let's just kill it right here... how about "expiermental electronica?" that does the music justice and goes back to the roots. |

i use electronica, but people who have no clue thinks im listening to trance and such. but then again, people who have no clue is not normally the people i socialize with. but then again, a nice girl sometimes gets confused in genres............ argh.. DONT KNOW/DONT CARE |

IDM iz teh 1337 |

|
in true IDM style, IDM doesn't actually stand for "intelligent dance music" and it doesn't stand for anything else for that matter. it is merely an autechre-track-name-style meaningless acronym that can be associated with this style of music. |

T'is a farkin lushness name! |

yes, it's a silly term. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|

Last I checked even WATMM was using the term derisively. |
||||||||
|

fuck idm up the bumhole |

Just tell people you listen to Iron Maiden if they ask. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Whatever. Call it glitch. I just call it ambient music. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
UDM! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
we've already had this discussion and we all agreed it's called idm2 from now on |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
When I talk to someone about music I call it ''electronic music like Autechre and Aphex Twin'' and I hope whomever I'm talking to is familiar with them. This rules out that I may be talking about Darude or something. Although it's not really a bad move to just outright call it IDM, that's a conversation piece. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
I just say: "Dance music, but not the cheesy stuff, well some of the cheesy stuff if it's good." |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
as i've said before: one thing that's lamer that the name 'IDM' is complaining of how lame the name is |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the thing is find lame is the fact that you're complaining the thing that's lamer that the name 'IDM' is complaining of how lame the name is |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that doesnt make sense, i think |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well i ain't making threads titled 'can we just end the name replacing nonsense' |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I tend to say electronica, in fact I forgot the term IDM until I discovered this forum, IDM seems to say that all other dance music is dumb, which isn't the case. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i just say 'electronic music' |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

just odn't listen to it and save yourself the trouble |

IDM is older than some XLT members. SAW 85-92 is fuckin' 14 years old. if it were a boy, it would have a little fuzzy mustache by now. |
||||||||

let's call it xltronic. I listen to Xltronic. for short we could call it Xltro. |

you were 10 years old when 'I care because you do' was released. you were in the 4th grade. you still thought girls were yucky. you still made turkey drawings out of your handprint for thanksgiving. you still slept with a teddy bear. you still had recess. you would debate with your friends about whether santa was your parents. you couldn't get into PG-13 movies without mom but that didn't matter because The Lion King was rated 'G.' the term "IDM" was just 2 years old, and even though you had never heard of it, you would someday grow to hate it. |

dear god man, BoC have gotten to your BRAIN! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but seriously though, every time one of these threads pop up, I say the same thing: I just tell people it's electronica, but note that it's not to be confused with club/dance music. I'm all for ending the term IDM. I just don't have any idea how to erase it from all published/internet media and force people to stop saying it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
by the way, it helps to listen to other types of music. That way, when you say electronica, and it crashes and burns just like it always does, you can also tell them you listen to rock and hip-hop and you'll have the cd's to back it up. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
note: I would like to add one (1) :D to the last post, please. why am I always afraid people will take me seriously when I am joking? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well i break it down further and say " I listen to dub and some other crazy shit like that" and then if you are asked to play some I'd play Apheztwin Mangle Eleven at least the general public has some sort of Idea what Dub is. and it will blow them away when you destroy their knowledge on what dub is changing their perspectives on shit. |

It was August of 1987. You were only 11, and already the pressure was mounting. Your parents had decided that you should join a little league baseball team. You were overweight and your peers called you "Mayonasse." It hurt but you pretended it didn't. Snapping out of a daydream you realized the coach was calling you. It was your turn up at bat. Earlier that day you had picked a poppy and placed it behind your left ear. You rubbed it for good luck. You stepped up to the plate, akwardly holding your aluminum bat. You looked into the stands and spotted your mother and father. Your father was drinking. It was now or never. The young pitcher began his wind-up. You tried your best to position yourself. The moment the ball was released from the pitchers hand, you took a furious swing, and the bat came flying out of your hands. You hit another child in the head. He missed 3 days of school and recieved 7 stiches. There were tears that day and on many days to come. |

IDM stands for "IDM's dead mwhaahaahaa" |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|

I think another problem is that there is so much diversity in the IDM sound that you would need a name for AE's type of sound APHEX sound (the pretty shit and a name for the hardcore shit) and break it all down further before we get anywhere with any real worthy title for any of it. I am sticking w/ Xltro |
