"What is the Most IDM Thing" Bracketology 2009

call me old fashioned but i was hoping insects would win, that could make a cool tribute album

fuck the internet

whatever has the longest name should win because it would be ridiculous to title a compilation something 55 characters long

Some Of Those Choices Brought Serious Lols :teeth:

vote ullillallia, you illillidiots.

C'MON OWLS.

antartica (22) vs north face (11)

 

 

this one will go down in history. i am personally rooting for north face to make a comeback.

i hate idm-ers addiction to north face, they look like retarded corporate shills, no better than a basketball player sporting nike everything.

Antarctica IS idm

I can't believe Ullilillia is losing...

This is a sad day :cry2:

Today is not a sad day because Konklaver just came out.

woah I didn't expect my INDUSTRIAL PIPING to end up here, nice

personally I'd like to see SPISH win

man, there needs to be a fundamental sit-down discussion as to the very semantics of what is idm... cuz as i said in a thread about what is NOT idm, to which i gave GWAR as the ultimate example of not idm (while, amazingly, realizing that heroin is indeed IDM) i got to dispensing words about what i believe IDM to be:

idm is all about the feeling that's going through your head when you pose for that magazine interview / promotional picture / album insert shot /whatever -- where you wanna look like you're from the future and you and only you contain teh wisdom that is quintessential for the survival of our future. and you're not here to save us because you have to save the world, in fact the world can be damned, you're here because you're so damn cool hip and important that you're gracing us with your presence just because it's about damn time you got recognized.

your look has to be a barren look, one that is indicative of deep meditation-like-thought as you stare off into the future, aka your homelands, where the CIVILIZED blokes all recognize you as the important foremost musical genius that you are.

you're too sharp and important to be clowney, you are dead serious, for your music is the ultimate form of all sonic-based-communications. you dream of CGI landscapes in your virtual reality goggles, because your view of reality is so sickeningly deep you have to take things in virtually because you are essentially one with technology: the machines work for You (the Y being capitalized to show divinity)

you're not one of those dance music clowns, be it a producer with spikey red hair or a DJ with sunglasses, you're INTELLIGENT dance music, as you naturally transcend such primitive forms of communication. in fact, you're quite offended when someone tries to sully the innate brilliance of your music by dancing to it: they insult hte fact that your patterns are so complex that anything short of a computer pumping out 73 trillion gigaflops of calculations per second would be able to comprehend them and consequently react with proper dance moves. your music speaks not of the world that is but the world that should be. each note is meticulously crafted as per the instructions directly from god: You are the vessel, the conduit, the medium which communicates messages from higher beings to lower beings. anyone who listens to your music gains five IQ points just by default. You feel sorry for poor sods like aphex twin who have to move to rural scotland to support their family, despite being the so-called "idm king"

you are a self-made millionaire who travels the world with the money stacks the bitches hte respect and the ability to cause cameras to cry because they know they're about to epic fail when they try to accurately portray the magnanimous aura that you eminate in a single frozen moment. you are the flashbulb, so important and quintessential that you can take the works of aphex twin and most notably squarepusher and immediately transcend them and become some kind of ohmygod-famous and rich just because you're you. You gave quantazelle the idea to hock old IDE cables as high fashion belts. when the humans aren't around, assembly lines dance to your music. aliens travel from 50 quintillion light years away just to slsk your new EP when it hits the p2p circuit, and they're inventing technology to morph into humanoid bodies just for your next show.

you always have a look of disdain in your face because there is no joy in making this music, there is no fun, this music is too important to be taken anything short of gravely serious. every time someone makes eye contact with a picture of you the temperature in the room drops three degrees. you like shiny-looking zip up fleeces with a small embroidered logo on them, and you have a beard because you can't be arsed to deal with banal things like shaving: your true purpose is in the studio, invoking the spirit of photek as you meticulously craft the kind of snare hit that deus ex machina would use, and also make sure the levels are pitch perfect so lianne doesn't show up on your sub-forum someday and say "say don't you think that IDM-artist-X is kind of overrated?!"

women only want to fuck you because they can't understand you, and if they could, you'd dump them immediately for being beneath you. dogs stare at you like you're god, and they're mortified of daring to bark when you're around. you wear those grey shoes with an N on the side of them. you wore emo glasses before people called them emo glasses, and you never drink any sort of beverage that isn't from a company that thinks it's saving the earth by selling you a drink. the thought of eating a big thick juicy hamburger sickens you because you need to look at least semi-emaciated to fit into your damn-near-skintight fleece. you balls out respect boards of canada but you don't know why. you secretly harbor ill will towards aphex twin and think he's overrated because he doesn't pay close attention to the specifics of his levels when he's mastering. you watch the news for history lessons because you've heard this all before.

and most importantly, you only post on watmm to correct people.

you are indeed the essence of IDM. and no, you're not an owl or an insect.

can someone plz tell me why an owl or an insect is idm?!

and btw, i've said it earlier i said it here and i'll say it until i die:

GWAR is the most anti-IDM thing in the collective history of reality.

period.

end of line.

i know you're talking about the flashbulb but this is a bit weird

i just recently bought a damn-near-skintight, shiny-looking zip up fleece with a small embroidered logo on it.

and 'grey shoes with an N on the side of them', i had grey ones 3 generations ago. currently black with a red N.

the large chunk of human brain that the avg human doesnt use ftw

thats a myth by the way, people often say 'people only use 10% of their brain capacity' but I haven't been able to find any research to back that up

ulillillia ftw (against sloths)

ferro fluid sculpture and ferro magnetic fluid are not the same thing?

and i don't think electronic music shouldn't be in there.

i actually cant believe uilililia is losing to sloths, this is a fucking outrage

i voted sloths big guy. sorry but sloths are more idm even without their own blog.

gravity always wins

id really like to see a hating weed compilation album, even if i dont think its particularly idm.

Some of these are stupid, you can't possibly OUT-IDM north face clothing or bacon. It's simply not possible, they are the very particles that form IDM.

fuck bacon. there is nothing fucking idm about bacon. everyone loves it and its not actually that good. bacon is fucking pop music.

since when does pop music taste salty and meaty ffs

Without bacon life as we know it would not exist. Bacon is the dark energy the LHC is trying to prove. Bacon is what holds the universe together. Bacon is god and we are all it. Everyone that knows IDM knows this.

i used to wear a north face ski jacket before it became a staple in idm wear!

i'd totally rock this though! actually... this is more minimal techno style really!

id say bacon was more alt rock

its tasty tho
