I've been on this list for almost a good 2 decades now and to reiterate what someone else said, I do think this is the most action it's seen lol. It's also tempting me to come up with a track this week and wanting to promote it through the list just for the sake of shitposting.
I've never really been bothered by the content here full-on knowing I can unsub. I also expected the content to change some in that when I signed up to the list, that was like almost 20 years ago when the question was "omg how ever am i going to find out about new aphex? this music is still so obscure & cutting edge!" and only parts of the internet knew or cared back then and it was still not much of a thing. Which is funny, because obviously the internet knows everything now and is very much a thing.
So for me, this list isn't really about keeping up with the old guard, it's more about self-promotion at this point because all the IDM we know about we don't need mailing lists for, as the genre has blown up past that point.

jeez guys. I sincerely appreciate all your gratitude. while many fearful artists have done whatever they can to distance themselves from this list/the harmless+hilarious term "idm", I have always known in my heart that the idm list is good.
