the general stereotype is that IDM is boring chin-stroking look at your feet or the performer music. for house it's one of gino(a)'s dancing to foofy music with no intellect behind it. Anyone who actively believes either is an idiot. Of course anyone who actively disbelieves either is also an idiot. The basic reason that IDM people aren't so into house is all psychological. People who base their self-worth more on their intelligence don't base it as much on their physical appearance, and vice versa, and when at a club listening to house music physical appearance is the most emphacized (mostly because it's too loud to chin stroke with someone else about the music) and people who feel uncomfortable about their physical appearance aren't comfortable in that kind of setting and hence dismissive of the music. So what I'm trying to say is that if you don't like house it's probably because you have a low sense of self-worth WRT to physical appearance, so get over yourself already, house has been around a lot longer then IDM. Oh and go get the Swayzak album.
