Well, it is more serious than 'dance music' as most people conceive it, but
most IDM is good to dance to. In fact, I find it just as good for this as 4
on the floor stuff. Some of my friends don't find (say) Autechre danceable,
or say that if they move around to it they miss the musical subtleties.
Well, they are missing out big time, because I find the unusual
rhythms/textures that prevail in IDM wonderfully emotional and evocative,
and derive great pleasure from moving about to them. Perhaps it's my
childhood training in mime or something.

I did for a while, but now I like the term. It is certainly intelligent in
that one can't accuse it of being formulaic or unchallenging.
