What's behind this recent fascination with "dark" ambient and
"scary" IDM? It's certainly a twist on the old neo-hippie rave ideals.
Is this a sign of the times or just a fad? There must be a lot of grumpy
people out there.
I find the trend interesting because I've gravitated AWAY from
industrial and noise music and toward more postive/balanced stuff over
the last few years. It's curious to see so many people headed in the
other direction. This isn't meant as criticism; it's just an observation.
