Let's call a spade a spade. 'Intelligent' is a synonym for 'superior.' We
(humans) have this terrible habit of carving out little niches for oursleves
for the sake of articulating, delineating our individual identities. It's
not about the music, it's about ourselves. Keep it broad, keep it simple,
keep it real. Why not 'electronica'? So what if it crosses over other
genres? The sad thing is once we create a category, our music is made to fit
that category--ultimately our identities are made to fit these categories.
That's why so much IDM is sounding like...IDM. I.e. Intelligent=fuzzy
noises, unpredictable rhythms.
'Intelligent''s gotta go, 'Dance''s definetly gotta go, leaving us with: you
guessed it! "Music", which is why we got it in this business in the first
place. Fight the arrogance!
