I find generally that people who say things like "music fans" also say things like "people who like real music" and "people who really love music" ... generally the implication tends to be that there are a lot of people out there who buy music but don't love it. i tend to buy into this notion as well. but as much as your cross-genre "i'm a real MUSIC fan" wanking has something going for it, you're also being as snobby as "idm geeks" tend to be. face it, the kid isn't your average autechre-worshipper, but he does have ties to the uber-punk world and hard-techno. he's identifying more with an attitude than a genre, so he can cross 'genres' where they share that attitude. hence his recent remixes of hip-hop et. al. he's remixing the attitude, not the genre.

actually, i think you mean 'warp/skam/mas' worship ... autechre is an artist, so they don't fit in with the other two, and schematic is too new; they're a worshipper still, too. and that was a joke; self-mockery. please recognize it as such.

the gender does tend to be a bit lop-sided, doesn't it? but I think saying 'only' and then capitalizing it is a little harsh...

does it really? play it to your average country lover or even your average classic-rock lover and then tell me everyone who isn't an idm geek loves kid-606.

it does tend to be one-dimenshional, but not to everyone... and don't tell me you think everything the kid's done is so excellent. i don't even think everything aphex has done is good, and i love him. -adam -- Adam Piontek [http://www.tcinternet.net/users/damek/] ICQ: 3456339 [damek@earthling.net] ...
