Maybe. Sorta. IDM is still not for everyone, most people like bands
with recognizable instruments. Browse Amazon and you see heavily
Pitchfork/Indierock influenced lists of favorites.
I also think the economy here in the US has something to do with it.
Doesn't anyone else see a link between the popularity of
electronic/computer music and the dot-com boom? Now that it's bust,
people who would be doing such things have less time/money to do so.
But the people who would be picking up guitars and forming bands are
still trying to be rock stars.
Mind you, I'm not establishing a qualitative judgement between these
different camps, just wondering if a booming economy favors one more
than the other.
