I just think the music has stylistically changed from when it started.
The only thing really tying new idm to old are the artists, and most of
them have followed into the newer type of music.
listening to a more recent "idm" album compared to the early 90's warp
stuff makes one wonder how they could even be grouped together.
I think it's ultimately a subtle change when you're really into it, but I
think a lot of people end up taking a step back and saying "whoa. This is
really totally different than what the music was like 10, or even 5 years
ago. And I really liked that stuff. Is there any more like that older
stuff around? Did I miss something or is it not being made anymore?
I think some of the charms other genres have, with their tight boundaries
and strict fans, is that there's usually always a few people doing just
good solid music that fits happily into that genre without any pretenses
or misconceptions. You know, like a good folk album or something.
There's such a push for idmmers to innovate that i think a lot of the
press badmouths an album that doesn't innovate in some way, or that
doesn't make use of the latest vst plugins. it's non wonder that plenty
of familiar names in electronic music have stopped producing.
