not to pick a fight, but anyone can say this stuff about anything.
Includign me who will now do so: Some of us are equally as disgusted with
the 'IDM genre', including myself. I think most of the IDM thats coming out
today sucks by default, just as a 4-man rock outfit does too. What matters,
however, is the end result and not the means, though they are directly
related. Some of the below "arguemnts" are as blatantly ignorant as those
we'd find from slavery's supporters or anti-feminists. Just as you shouldnt
judge rock bands as shitty by default, I shouldnt judge some bedroom
musician as someone doing somethign thats been done - even though thats
often the case.
