focus on the definition. the name can be anything,  preferably following the conventional rule of other naming  objects something a human can pronounce with it's mouth  tongue and vocal cords, as long as we agree on the  definition.

OK: the music we are commonly discussing on this  board is  not 'intelligent' since it's inanimate and unable to think.  It's not braindance either 'cause dance is the moving  expression of your body (by definition).
 
  I call it experimental music or just electronic music ( good  electronic music ).

if we made or have an objective definition, perhaps one  based on math, it would be hard for people to disagree. all  knowledge is founded on axiom isn't it? eventually you have  to accept something as true because there is no way to 100%  prove anything

We grasp reality by applying abstractions to specifics  things. Rope-like is an abstraction regarding shape. Rising,  falling. heaviness and pinkness are abstract concepts. 
 
  Through abstraction we classify, putting into each  classification things with similar characteristics.  Creatures who have characteristics like ourselves we  classify as human. If we poke them and see they are solid  rather than ghosts we have added one more characteristic as  verification. Sometimes we get our categories mixed up and  need to reclassify, such our neighbor not being an ape, or  the creature flying around is a bat rather than a bird. To  classify we must differentiate.

( i think braindance is more than rephlex. but maybe we should  call it _intellectual_ because everyone talks about it, so  it IS intellectual. (ex people dont talk so much and so deep  about dnb, hiphop nor anything else)
 
  anyway i like the word experimental, because that music is  about it.
 
  whatever )

"To classify we must differentiate."
  True only if you consider that 1 item cannot belong to two  classes. Be careful you look like a 14 years old kid talking  about math classes he will take in 6 years. Maths are a  dianoïa, yoy cannot apply them to real life.

so math can only be applied to that which is not "real  life", like fantasy life or something? I don't know the  definition of dianoïa. Don't let school get in the way of  your education. You shouldn't learn in year designated  chunks.

No ä dianoïa is different from a science (astronomy -  chemsitry - sociology ) because it cannot be verified thru  experiments. It's the upper layer in other words. And don't  let your lack of education prevent you from doing your own  researchs.

Sorry but braindance is Rephlex. There is a lot on Rephlex  catalogue that is IDM fans would really balk at being called  Intelligent. Actually some of that stuff is charmingly and  endearingly and wholly intentionally childish and dumb.

it's funny how genre names can get strange. if i, in  finland, say idm, people (not all but most of the ignorant  ones) immediatly think about very dark non-danceable  chillout music, like illbient. and when i try to explain idm  is not suicidal at all - well, no difference. only schematic  material really fits that description. also, no-one here  ever knows that idm comes from intelligent dance music. 
 
  as for myself, i call it mostly 'strange electronic music'  or even 'different electronic music' (most of my pals think  of electronic music as techno, house, trance)

i agree with Flea...Braindance is a trademark owned by  Rephlex. rephlex music is Braindance. IDM is a more general  term. 
 
  but now it's called Xltronic music, right?

i never use the term idm.  i don't understand why it's even  acknowledged.  i wish that this post would be the last i  ever heard it from anyone other than bonehead music  journalists.  braindance is simply rephlex, cause that's  what they call it ans it's their music.

at school, where i can't be bothered to explain to people  what 'idm' means and stands for, i just say electronic  music.  if they're reeeaallly closed minded and listening to  britney spears, i call i techno to save me frustration.  at  home, where my whole family is digging most 'idm', i can  actually call it braindance, or idm.
  -------- what was that new term that didn't catch on a while ago?

The term IDM got it's start mainly owing to the Artifical  Intelligence series...released by WARP
