Yep.

A lot of the creative electronic stuff has migrated from IDM
into house, hip hop and mainstream pop music. It's just
there, everywhere, and ubiquitous. And those genres feed
back into "electronic" styles.

That's a good thing! Keeping its bloodline pure like
European royalty makes it pale, chinless and anaemic.
Mongrel bastard musics are always going to be more vital and
healthy.

it isn't dying, but i think people in general aren't
satisfied with some weird sounds put together..they look for
something more, which is nice. artists will have to put more
work and imagination into it if they want to stand out
somehow.

Main problem is it's gone back underground and everyone is
wondering when the next guy with something of a personality
is going to come along - the next Aphex Twin, not in terms
of musical ability but jesus, at least in terms of having a
sense of humor, and hopefully a better one than him.

Even Moby would be a welcome return. Save us, Moby! We need
your weenie insights as a religious vegan celebrity or
whatever.

Electronic music is like movies.

We have just learned how to make all of these crazy special
effects, so we made a bunch of movies that were just scenes
of various shit blowing up. Then this gets old, but we
don't know what kind of movies to make now, because we still
want to be able to blow shit up, but realize we need
something more.

Like that. There have been a few good ideas, but none have
really taken hold.

In 1992 The New Fast Automatic Daffodils asked
How Much Longer Must We Tolerate Mass Culture? The answer was about 15 years, because
popular cutlure is grinding to a halt, possibly to be
replaced by a combination of drugs and videogames to make
everyone shut up. Have you seen how they're getting old
people into videogames now on the pretext it combats
Alzheimers. BULLSHIT, it's social conditioning for the near
future. Electronic music, who gives a rat's tit?

electronic music is in a beatiful moment right now - because
everything has been said and done already so now instead of
coming up with something new, the thing is to look back,
take the best out of electornic history and make something
out of it.

always come out, like a next jazz or something
