"most IDMers seem more keen in having fun,"
Well I'm not quite sure about that. I suppose "IDMers" referes to people making IDM music. And if so I don't see no connection between having fun and making this kind of music. One could say exactly the same for skateboarders or surfers or people making any kind of music. I don`t believe there's a correlation between being keen of having fun and making IDM. This fun-thing is more a sociological category called hedonism and you can find it like everywhere as long as people are young.
And by listening to what I think is ment by IDM (I know that this might be a difficould point as there are likely no two exatly corresponding opinions of what is IDM is in this list) I usually am not primarely having fun either. This music is made for brains (perhaps the Intelligent does refer to this point). Ok one might just leave the music play in the background, but most people might know the situation when you've got a new record. You put it on, take your headphones and listen to the music, but not just listening, but analysing the whole thing. Listen to the beats for once, recognizing every small blip (or at least trying to) or switching attention to the sounds, melodies, harmonies and all this on and on until you really know this record. Well one could say this is fun too, but its not the same fun I get listening to Reggaemusic whiich just makes one feel good and forgent about everything else.
