Why is telefon tel aviv "idm"... Aren't they just
making music?
Honestly, if we're gonna insist on using "idm" as a
genre, shouldn't we decide on exactly what the genre
is? I mean, there are so many artists and styles
under that one umbrella term that it really is
meaningless. Therefore, it is meaningless to say it's
dead...
Given that 'idm' grew out of the early Warp AI series
sound, which Autechre now sounds nothing like, and
Telefon Tel Aviv are nothing like either the early AI
sound or recent Autechre, how are all of these things
'idm'?
No wonder the MTV kiddies get confused about all this
stuff... at least indie rawk has a relatively
coherent sound such that the unofficial moniker has
some semblance of a meaning when you say it to
someone.
I could tell you I like idm and you might think I mean
Lali Puna when in fact I mean Merzbow ... sheesh!
Let's get some cultural coherence and agreement going
on so we can all stop making statements like 'idm is
dead' without meaning something!
BTW, I mean none of this.
