can 'social anxiety' and 'being socially awkward' be merged?

seriously? why does it matter?

 

subtle variations is IDM

because they're the same thing

huh? they're not the same thing at all.

plenty of people are really socially awkward but have no anxiety about it.

like this guy:

MOST IDM ULI 2012

cmon motherfuckers

I'm getting so many cool ideas now that the idea stage is over.

Waking up to a CRT-TV shining blue light all over the room at 3am.

Watching materialistic TLC and E! programs while in hospice wards.

Night drives on empty highways while listening to Oneohtrix Point Never.

The clocks on household appliances blinking 12:00 after a power outage.

Man, a lot of these were cheesy as shit... I do like the "Not Being Able to Explain Yourself Verbally", though.

Incomplete skyscrapers' year

Yeah, one of the best entries. I think I somehow missed it when voting, though.

He retired after last years tournament.

oh yeah incomplete skyscrapers is a team with the vertical advantage. their ever increasing form makes them a dead cert for climbing to the nausea inducing heights of the championship table and grabbing this years most IDM fucking trophy

Go uli!

why didn't i vote cowboy boots? why didn't anyone vote cowboy boots? why didn't i even SEE cowboy boots? idm tribute to cowboy boots. cowboy boots.

please, all, keep the album in mind. incomplete skyscrapers are going to sound way dark ambient, and i doubt that fart chambers will carry a whole album.

i dunno what kind of dark ambient incomplete skyscrapers world you live in but in this world, incomplete skyscrapers can be anything

also it's a bit weak to come in here with that but not actually back anything yourself

edit: oh, would it be Strandbeest?

First off, soooooooo many trolls. Do there really have to be so many ridiculous submissions? It's getting annoying how troll-heavy watmm's been for a while.

Secondly, my vote for Prometheus is for the Greek Prometheus (or perhaps Prometheus and Bob), not the movie.

Thirdly, fuck yeah, abandoned cities.

Yep i agree, it annoys me that the WATMM's IDM of the year awards are not up to Nobel Prize standards.

not anything personal against you or anyone with this sentiment, but seriously, fuck. this. shit.

this is and has always been what's most idm of the year, not what will be the greatest watmm tribute album subject of the year.

I merged topics that were almost identical. I considered merging these two, but I ultimately judged these two to not be identical. Anxiety is a psychological condition. If it's bad enough, you treat it with beta blockers and stuff. Technically OCD, panic attacked, and dissociative identity disorder are all anxiety disorders.

Awkwardness is not a psychological condition, although it is often an effect of anxiety.

This is true. This tournament is for the most IDM thing of the year. For the subsequent tribute album, we'll have to work with what we get. Right now, we should only consider what we deem to be IDM

EDIT: Abandoned cities has pulled into the lead, with 25 votes. It has a 6 vote lead on the current second place, factories at night.

maybe incomplete skyscrapers were not very idm this year, imo, but they are far from finished
