You know what? He just might be right.
But we don't really discuss "rave music" on this list, now, do we?
In all seriousness, Simon Reynolds comes from a fundamentally
different context in discussing music than most people on this list.
He's all about populism, dancing, and cultural revolution.
Most IDM and the people on this list who follow it are about
abstraction, elitism (to some extent, don't tell me that you who own
the Skam frisbee do so because it sounds great), and the fact that
it's in opposition to most of the stuff Simon and his Dance Music
represent.
Yes, I'm painting with wide brushes this afternoon, but oh well. If
you take offense at the mass generalizations I've made above, at least
take a second to consider whether or not there's some truth in them.
