Yeah, "IDM" sounds stupid.

Why not "Electronica"?

Then how about "(Alternative) Electronic Music"?

Start retagging your bandcamp albums boys and girls, Mark Fell solved the genre name some time ago in a paper he did. Apparently the scientifically distilled definition should be: 

Unusual Electronic Music Typically Without Academic Affiliation

what about 'electronicool'

Yeah that's the good stuff though.

What about all the generic and derivative 'braindance' that some people consider idm?

the IDM crowd is approaching middle age these days so how about dadtronica

It's def at dadrock/dinosaur stage in its evolution

Complicated-Wave

There's a difference? 

Yes

is IDM dead, we all wait for the next Aphex, Boards, Bola and Plaid LPs with bated breath...

The Touched Compilations are 90% Idm/Electronica and 1000s of people have been getting them, i went to 21rpm music festival in London last

saturday and everyone was saying we need something like this to happen all the time to bring like minded people together.

so i don’t think its dead its just been for the people who still want to find it....

To call my track IDM/Braindance or Braindance/IDM. The hardest decision I've ever had to make.

cylol

IDM is absorbed into the food we eat and the air we breathe. That smelly liquid that leaks out the back of garbage trucks? It's how the government gets rid of excess IDM so we all become immune. Taco Bell, KFC, Burger King, etc is the IDM industry's waste because if our bodies don't process it, the pH levels in the sea will rise and kill all the manatees. The mourning of their loss will take the form of IDM whale song and a lunar eclipse will signal the beginning of the end.

music's been dead since the death of Ockeghem imho

DOWN WITH IDM UP WITH NIGHTCORE (AND DAYCORE)

It died for me when it became a shitehawk estate agent

I'm done making idm/braindance and the occasional braindance/idm. It's been sullied too much.

The question is.. what's next? What adventures await?
