9th MOST IDM Tournament - Elite 8!

He's just a random kid on the internet, a bunch of men from across the planet dissecting his youtube vids of him dancing around with his friends just being a kid, and trying to assign it all kinds of meaning, is like.... the beginning of an episode of Forensic Files or something.

So. Creepy.

well damn, my top 2 picks, moss and minipops kid are pitted against one another. :(

come the fuck on, moss (ok technically lichen) has already been covered by the IDM maestro himself.

 

^you might have just swayed my vote away from moss here. i didnt know he had made other aphex videos

his channel is literally littered with idm and people are voting for... moss.

a kid listens to music and has a youtube account

big deal

yeah, that's like voting for idm as being idm.

it's much better to come up with something that you never thought of being idm before that is.

Chris Cunningham likes his video for minipops 67...

a vote for this is a vote for loving idm. for the enthusiasm we all felt the first time we heard an aphex song that kicked us in the nuts and made us beg for more.

moss is... well it exists i suppose. hurrah for moss.

seems a bit odd to vote one of the most basic plants around as most idm (a genre known for intricate melodies/rhythms/crazy effects ect...)

The minipops kid is idm but I am fearful of what would happen if he discovered a bunch of freaks made a tribute album to him. Olympus Mons, come on baby!

 

What are you scared of?

 

 

I dunno, he's just a kid, it might weird him out a bit.

 

 

Dunno what that means - we don't have to contact him or anything

 

This is the internet, not a private elite members club, I'd say there is a good chance of him discovering it.

Sri Minipops Kid is the ninth and penultimate avatar of IDM; with his awakening we witness a new golden dawning braindance cycle within the musical Kali Yuga.

We need not give him tribute directly; to seek the IDM in anything is to recognize our place in the Yuga and prepare to face the blazing and all-cleansing sword of the Tenth and the end of pervasive ignorance of IDharMa.

wow so dark, close minded, jaded and cynical

Minipops kid being devoured by cynical moss?

Anyone else noticed that kids face? Kind of creepy like a Garbage pail kid

This is why I worry about him discovering the album and then this forum. A vote for moss is a vote for what is right.

Quite right. Moss is boss!

Voted Moss. For now.

Changed my vote to moss covered everything.

Wasn't last year's album about plant-y stuff too? A lot of these nominations are pretty close to prior themes actually.

Tsk tsk tsk.

Goddamnit, The final round is going to be one hell of a snoozefest.

Two points:

1. Mycorrhizae are a type of fungus, which is a whole other kingdom. Mycorrhizae and moss are farther apart biologically than elephants and worms. Also, the topic isn't just moss, it's moss covered everything.

2. I don't think we need to worry too much about creeping out the minipops kid. His videos are awesome. We love his enthusiasm for this music. Voting for him is really no different than voting for Uli. It's not like this will start a hashtag campaign #LeaveRyanAlone or anything...

The minipop kid really deserves to win. We could write tracks for him to dance to, and that would be actually quite awesome !!!

I guess I also voted for him because I'm gutted to see that Uli lose, again...

I appreciate plants. I really do. They're hella important for life on the planet. moss is good too: it's soft, smells nice and puts everything in a limelight perspective

But hell naw that moss covered everything is going to beat the fucking minipops kid (henceforth named as Tifa Mack).

Why? Let me tell you why: although moss is good, it's also mossy. Moss only grows on stuff that is dead, dying or vast asleep. Voting for moss as most IDM thing makes IDM dead

Actually I hate the term IDM. fuck it, vote for moss anyway. Tifa Mack does not need your prizes: he is a planetoid in itself. Tifa Mack devours you.

*Changes vote to Minipops kid*

Volcanic cave covered in moss

Moss covered water wheel BITCHES!!!

Mossy garden furniture

I have a lot of moss in my little garden and it provides a soft walking surface, but I wouldn't make a track about it.

IDM is a horrible fucked up term made for raving autists who think their "smart" music makes them better than others

I do not want Tifa Mack to be entered in this competition: I once made him enter the pageant and I have the right to retract him from the pageant, which I do.

This horrible term IDM has to fucking die already: your "IDM" music does not make you better or smatter than anyone else. Stop thinking that it does.
