i don't think any musical genre can definitely die; there's
always be the possibility of someone "resurrecting" a genre
that's not popular anymore, new artists/bands inspiring
themselves from it...

The hype is dead, not the genre itself. In so so many years
the hype will be back on and the scene will appear to be
fresh and vital and creative yet again, but it won't
necessarily be so. In the meantime you will have workhorses
like Autechre and Aphex Twin providing a pulse and a breath
to a scene at rest. I think the most exciting music within a
scene is more likely to happen when it's not in the center
of attention and subject to hype but true to itself.

i agree, 'idm' is certainly one huge, genre. i would expand
but im drinking and watching frasier which is far more
interesting than plinky plonky music.

who cares? what you like is what matters, no genre is ever
truly 'dead'.

I don't know, in no particular order:

If it was 1990 again
If I had a bottle of Endless Booze
If I had the body, head, and brain of someone else
If Lost didn't drag on so much
If I owned my own pub
If I was less insufferable
If Dicky would just get SAW III out of the way

a few things.

No, why would it? It's a board to discuss excellent
electronic music not just IDM.

Legowelt and all his aliases is what I look forward to
listen the most also Gerald Donald.

IDM is just electronic music. Just saying... hence
electronic music is dead to you based on what you said.

It might not be as popular right now, because people are too
busy listening to samey, bullshit fuckratting emo, indie and
mainstream rap, but I'm sure things will swing round again.

Quit living in the past and go to any fucking club that
isn't completely retarded, you'll hear that IDM is the new
Dance Music.

IDM is a subgenre of electronic music., I don't know what
you guys are trying to say anymore.

It would appear that vin3islih refers to all electronica as
IDM.

why do people start these threads? as long as people still
listen to it, it is never going to die, and any scene is
what you make of it. granted that the unsigned people who
want to break into the biz does not have favorable
conditions, but as long as there is technology and creative
people, we have YEARS AND YEARS of good electronic music to
listen to. Lets see what the new generation here kicks out
in a few years... it's going to be mental.

IDM ended at 12:00am, Jan. 1, 2000 and began sometime in
1994 with the collision of ambient techno, electro, and
bleep house.

I don't really think there is a solid IDM 'sound' anymore
the way there may have been in the 90s. In the 90s, you
could look at old Aphex like Analogue Bubblebath and old
Autechre like Amber and classify them together pretty
easily. Can you really look at an album like Drukqs and an
album like Draft 7.30 and say the same thing? Autechre's
sound developed into something that is really more akin to
post-industrial to me, ie Download, Coil, Scorn, whereas
Aphex has stayed a little closer to the roots of the scene
(acid, drill and bass etc.)

Even Boards of Canada .. you can listen to MHTRTC and
Tri-Repetae and hear some very similar stylings in the
beats, synth choices, etc., but good luck getting that same
effect listening to Untilted and Campfire Headphase, they
are pretty different and hard to classify in the same genre
except for some common roots.

It is not so different to what happened to punk after the
early 80s. Listen to Black Flag, The Sex Pistols and The
Misfits and you could easily identify them all as punk
bands, having a similar sound and coming from the same
movement. Then listen to Henry Rollins Band, P.I.L and
Danzig back to back and decide if you can say the same
thing.

So has IDM died? In a sense, yes, and in a sense it has
grown and diversified to something a little less purist and
monolithic. Also, hasn't it become passe to put out IDM
that sounds just like BOC, Aphex, or AE? People that do are
generally seen as fanbois who made it and are not taken as
seriously.

No. It's alive and well, just most people don't want to
download it off net labels because it's FREE. They rather it
have been wrapped in plastic before.
