Alright, I know this part of your post fell under the part I wasn't supposed to necessarily take seriously but it didn't have the same smart-ass tone of your little jokes about smokers and drinkers. Maybe its just flamebait, but are you fucking kidding me? You are saying there is no legitimacy to music that comes from third world countries? I think some of the more interesting strains of electronic music is stuff that finds ways of combining ethnic music with the "IDM aesthetic". Oh wait... and you said that IDM/electronic music is the most "sophisticated genre". I guess it must've been a joke. Sorry I bothered. -Aaron
