From our relatively hypersensitive standpoint, that's true... but I
feel like someone coming from a non-IDM-intensive musical place would
find the differences between older stuff and newer stuff to be
trifling. Are (to pick names at random) Arovane and Ulrich Schnaus
really that different from early Aphex and Autechre?
In cases where the new and the old *are* notably different
stylistically, I feel like they have still been created in the same
spirit: "hey, what cool things can i make my electronics do?" and that
they have basically the same audience, which i guess is... us?
