does anyone use "IDM" in daily life talking about this type of music?
even though it's the style i most listen to, i'm usually embarrassed
to use it in conversation. it's such a pretentious term. i usually
just say i listen to really weird electronic music. seems to define it
better than "IDM".

I think IDM is electronic music that tries harder either musically or just with sound. Devo might have not been that great back in the 80's but if you listen to there synth programming it was incredible for the time. They put in the extra time and made some incredible synth solo's, i would call that IDM. But than again, i would also call the talking heads song "born under punches" IDM. It was the avant garde for the time.
