Not. EDM has the same problem. I prefer to call it Braindance.

But then IDM is still a better term than Electronica wich is rumored to have been invented by Madonnas marketing manager.

idm has become associated with watered down american music that tries to emulate the uk greats, music that is often too edgy or too druggy/spiritual

It doesn't matter what IDM means.

IDM is a term coined by Aphex Twin in responce to the assertion that his music was actually not very intelligent.

 

Richard said, "nuh uh, my music is well intelligent - it's wickid is what it is, really. it's well-intelligent dance music, not like stockhausen's intelligent but undanceable music, really. you might call my music intelligent dance music, since it's more intelligent than other people's music, really."

 

that's from an 1992 interview from Der Kanal, a shitty German technopop magazine from the 1990's

 

i call b.s. cite your sources guy.
