I find generally that people who say things like "music fans" also
say things like "people who like real music" and "people who really
love music" ... generally the implication tends to be that there are
a lot of people out there who buy music but don't love it. i tend to
buy into this notion as well. but as much as your cross-genre "i'm a
real MUSIC fan" wanking has something going for it, you're also being
as snobby as "idm geeks" tend to be.
face it, the kid isn't your average autechre-worshipper, but he does
have ties to the uber-punk world and hard-techno. he's identifying
more with an attitude than a genre, so he can cross 'genres' where
they share that attitude. hence his recent remixes of hip-hop et.
al. he's remixing the attitude, not the genre.

actually, i think you mean 'warp/skam/mas' worship ... autechre is an
artist, so they don't fit in with the other two, and schematic is too
new; they're a worshipper still, too. and that was a joke;
self-mockery. please recognize it as such.

the gender does tend to be a bit lop-sided, doesn't it? but I think
saying 'only' and then capitalizing it is a little harsh...

does it really? play it to your average country lover or even your
average classic-rock lover and then tell me everyone who isn't an idm
geek loves kid-606.

it does tend to be one-dimenshional, but not to everyone... and
don't tell me you think everything the kid's done is so excellent. i
don't even think everything aphex has done is good, and i love him.
