It seems to me like raves are about going to dance to good music. Where
IDM has focused less on the dancing aspect and focused more on the creative
process of writting the music. Incorporating a different type of feeling
that easily matches that of the "indie" scene.
I personally am not really to thrilled nor am I against either scene, they
have a purpose and they serve them well. I like to see bands play, not
necessarily to shake my booty to, but just to see the production of music.
I like to see what it is that makes these artists tick.
I have noticed that those who go to raves don't really go to see the artist,
but if they do, it is for different reasons why someone would want to go see
autechre or aphex. I mean, come on, do you really think you can dance to
it? Maybe the genre should be changed to IM vs IDM. Too me, IDM has
become listening music vs dancing music.
