...and already has! Tune your radio into the local pop station and you're bound to hear rave-style tunes all over the radio. In fact, for the past two years, it seems like this generic synth stuff has plastered the airwaves (alongside of grunge). What I'm hearing these days, however, are more IDM-ish *elements* creeping into the music. That's not to say that IDM will overtake masses, but that more creative sounds and rhythms are slowly filtering into the pop mainstream. Tim
