IDM - the ProgRock of the 90s?

Just an observation - it seems like the demographics of IDM match those of the Prog Rock crowd of 10-20 years ago - white, middle-class, college-aged guy. I'm sure there are others out there (I know one 43 year old IDMer, and I'm 31), but I'd wager that this group is in the majority. Does anyone know any women that PURCHASE IDM type music? (Thanks Tamara, for responding to BASS and being exceptional!) I've seen plenty of women at raves, though most I've talked to say they prefer house to techno. How many women are there out there actually composing IDM? Will it take 15 years for IDM to be reduced to an safe, easily masterable cliche as happened w/ punk & the riot grrrls?

Yep. Buy it, listen to it... don't make it, but would if i could... and i'm 31 as well. Does that skew your demographics? Peace, -bella STILL on: Mouse on Mars/Vulvaland

the reason you may not hear from many women with regards to idm could be a result of the demographics of internet users. sad as it may be the stereotype may still hold true that women are computer averse (to a certain extent). other than that i have noticed that many women (including my girlfriend) seem to like thing that are instantaneously catchy - ie) a good chorous or a catchy sample. of course the best that it gets where i live, with regards to popular opinion of groups is that 'the tragically hip rule, and oh yeah, that rozalla (insert any overplayed, popular, washed out, old club house) song is pretty good too'. it's truly sad, that club cutz is the kind of cd that sells out at local shops. rb on now: lfo 'we are back' single

I'm not asking whether there are any women on IDM. What I am asking is: I see mostly (not all) male posts on IDM; what are your experiences w/ female techno boffins djing, composing or performing IDM, or purchasing IDM type music (just showing up at a rave or owning a boyfriend's mix tape doesn't count). I'm not trying to form a judgement here; I'm testing a hypothesis. Thanks for the really cool post, Roxanna. PEACEOUT MR-808 Now on Sony: 76:14 - Global Communication (morse code & all)

[...] Many *people* like that; it's why pop titles sell many many times what IDM titles sell. I'd also speculate that it's related to what music people have already heard & know-- music is not appreciated in a cultural vacuum. If you grew up listening to Classic sHits radio or AOR or your local "alternative" station, you don't necessarily have the background you need to hear IDM as good music. I had to learn to listen to IDM. The first time I played an Orb album I didn't like it. I couldn't jump directly to Sun Ra from Benny Goodman, either. --- C J Silverio ceej@netcom.com ceej@well.sf.ca.us <a href="http://wiretap.spies.com/ceej/ceej.html">my home page</a>

hey I'm another lurking female (would have responded sooner but was out of town.) I buy lots of records/cds, I like techno and house and other kinds of music, altho what I buy and play now is usually techno-- I have a radio show (for a few years now) and am slowly but surely doing stuff of my own-- Too bad you think that women can only do 'reduced' music that is 'safe and easily mastered'......................... by the way if anyone has info on radio stations (small, community, college?) in San Fransisco, I would love to hear it-- I'm moving out there in january, and I'll really miss doing a show...... (I got that texturology rekkid too.........) bk
