Huh? Wired didn't make this up monicker. Steve Roden did. Josh Russell
ran with it to get the lowercase list going, and as the article says, he
put out a comp with that organizing principal. There are plenty of people
I've talked to and had play at my house that identify themselves as
'lowercase.'
In any case it's not a sub-genre of anything I can think of, certainly not
'IDM'. Unless 'laptop music' is a subgenre, which seems misguided since
it's emphasizing the tool, not the philosophy, sound, groove, attitude,
evolution, audience, etc.
The article over-emphasizes the powerbook -- Josh himself doesn't use one.
And I wonder how Digi got that plug, I don't know many people using it at
all to make this sort of work (though Steve Roden did start working in it
recently...).
