This is partially true, although the group of people for which this
music is interesting is very small - and as popular by definition means
"for many people or a large portion of the population", it's an
interesting twilight zone - it attracts small numbers of listeners but
its roots definitely lie in pop music - Funk, Soul, Jazz and the
electronic styles that grew out of them (HipHop and House, for
instance). Same with jazz today - when I play guitar with jazz groups,
for example, few people turn up but they're well into the music. I
imagine it's the same with IDM.
Good to get all these opinions/input from all of you!
