Hmmm....idm (at least some of it) has possibly suffocated itself with redundancies and (in some cases) indie has branched into that 'sound garden', picked some nice flowers and redecorated to make itself more interesting.
Lets face it - nothing is pure, and even if it was possible to be so, it can't remain so for long without becoming stagnant. Limiting one's self to a particular genre is just sad anyway...at my age, I've seen brilliance in too many of them to think otherwise. There's always creative sparks floating here and there. They burn out here, they reappear there - they cross pollinate and defy categories, they become the high watermarks/defining moments of some categories. And what sounds fresh will always, to some extent, depend on where your ears have been as much as it does on how good they are.
