Man, I thought idm was the kind of music it's listeners were not
categorising...
Well, you asked for it:

Bye bye RDJ ("Milkman"), bye bye all intelligent music that will be made in
the future _with_ vocals.

Bye bye RDJ again. I thought IDM was mainly NON-repetitive music, which
made it intelligent because there was more work to it than just making one
measure and repeating it one thousand times.

That depends on you, not the music.

who I have now proven to be not idm, according to your definition.
IMO the difference between idm and all other dance music, is the fact that
idm is not intended to be a commercial succes (see my earlier posting), but
is a new form of art. The makers are trying to experiment with the new
possibilities of technology and music.
I have a strong feeling that you (gmv500) listen to idm because it's 'hot'
and not (yet) discovered by the masses.
These are my last words on what is idm.
