Intelligent dance music? ok just like intelligent jungle  back in 1992-3 IDM is an abreviation used by geeky  middle-class Nerds and corporate officials to put a label on  something they never realy understood to either gain  "popularity" (whilst saying "popularity" waggle index  fingers and the bird fingers at the same time to emphasize  inversion of commas!) or to make moneeeeeey(large collective  of rolling eeeess!) and catagorize again something they dont  realy understand!

I like the name cerebral as the focus seems to be the mind  not like the dancefloor or something. You're going to sound  arrogant if you label what you do intelligent even if it  is... (but the creators aren't often the ones that label it  this way) As long as people have agreed meaning they can use  any word they choose, language is just a tool.

The omlettes leading to the path are a path in themselves.  Or a path leads to an omlette. I just ate a burrito at 1:22  in the morning so I'm not hungry anyway.

Electronic Listening Music, or ELM.  But then, that could  include Jean Michel Jarre, Mike Oldfield etc couldn't it?  Scratch that one then.
 
  My stuff tends to be CDM, Childish Dance Music.
  Ah sod it. Experimental Electronica, Electronic Bollox.

i never really got too stuck up on labels...i call it idm  openly, cause people usually know what i am talking  about...i do think it is pretty pretentious, that whole  intelligent thing, and i hate dance music with a passion,  but idm it is and idm it shall be...to late to change that

When I listen to music, I don't bob my head, or dance, or  whatever...I try to enjoy my music to the fullest...I can't  really do homework well (although I do it anyway, heh) with  music on, because I find myself stopping to listen to the  greatest parts.
 
  IDM? Not really.  I like calling it what it is,  Electronica/Electronic, Computer Generated ... whatever.  Stuff like Squarepusher and Nine Inch Nails is also good,  the combination of real instruments with computer  synthesizers...don't know what to call that. 
 
  ICH? Instrumental and Computer Hybrid?

If you really CARE what its called, then maybe IDM is  offensive.
 
  I never really put much faith in the term.
  Anyways, why are we forcing modesty upon the musicians. I  think a lot of IDMusicians are highly intelligent. Look at  most dance music. Fuck. IDM isn't really even dance music. 
 
  Have you ever thought that the title was totally tongue and  cheek?
