to hell in a handbasket?
its becoming "genre" music now, like "industrial," "drum n bass," "house,"
"punk" etc..
producers start wondering if their tracks are "idm" enough. it used to be
that idm was wierd experimental music that no one could categorize, it will
be a genre with its own rules and subculture. kids in highschool will walk
around with moptops and laptops wearing schematic t-shirts.. soon there will
be a band that will have vocals and make it mainstreamish, and everyone on
this list will be very upset. 15 year old kids will start joining the list
and ask who aphex twin is.
the 'post-warp' era is coming if not already here.. you wait and see
