Many of you are forgetting that IDM is not, in fact, a genre, but merely the
name of a mailing list. But what should we call the genre(s) of music we
discuss here? I have come up with some possible names for this elusive
category:
1. Really Smart Dance Music (RSDM)
2. Music for Not Having a Girlfriend To (MFNHAGT)
3. Autechre (AE)
4. Intelligent Dance Music (IDM)
5. Ford Motor Co. Presents: Intelligent Dance Music (FMCP:IDM)
6. That Shit that's all, like, Fucked Up (TSTALFU)
7. Post-Dumb Dance Music (PDDM)
8. Experimental Playlist qua Surrogate Penis (EPQSP)
9. Electronic Music that May or May Not be for Dancing (EMTMOMNBFD)
10. Hauteur Hop (HH)
11. Discuss Stockhausen with Friends, Listen to Scooter in Private
(DSWFLTSIP)
12. Dude, if You Recorded the Sound of my Keyboard as I Typed that Last
Sentence and Played it Back at Half Speed, it would *Totally* Sound like
that one Funkstorung Track (DIYRTSOMKAITTLSAPIBAHSIW*T*SLTOFT)
13. Electronic Music that Defies All Forms of Categorization (EMTDAFOC)
14. Email Deletestep (EDS)
I hope this helps narrow it down!
