I think it's important to remember that the term "IDM" was coined
with the creation of this mailing list. The term wouldn't exist at
all without the list, and its spread is proof that the list is quite
influential. Perhaps this fact should be more prominently displayed
on the IDM homepage.
As for "electronica," I'm wary of it. It's a word record companies
invented a couple of years ago because "techno" had such a bad
connotation. Remember that Juan Atkins, Derrick May, and Kevin
Saunderson coined "techno." Using the term pays homage to the
originators.
Just my 2 cents.
