Why are so many IDM song titles apparently meaningless, or made up of apparently meaningless words, or words with strange letter substitutions, numbers and punctuation?
(A) It's as good a way as any to reflect on life.
(B) To avoid song titles like "I don't fucking know #17" and "Look what my synth did now #25".
(C) It's leet type behaviour.
(D) It's the language of techno, dude.
(E) Electronic musicians got no soul.
(F) Electronic musicians got no life.
(G) It's what Autechre does.
(H) Lighten up, fuckwit.
(I) All of the above.
(J) Other - please specify.
Please check all that apply.
If you think this is silly and disrespectful, or interesting and humble, you're right.
