you are a fucking retard if you think that "IDM" is a lucrative business and
that the artists and labels making the "IDM" music you like are sitting
back, smoking hundred dollar bills and buying rollies and Benzes.
all but a precious handful have to have full-time jobs to support making
music/releasing records. most labels and artists will and do lose money for
quite a while to get their art out.
you seem to think that it's wrong for someone to want to make a living by
creating something that you like.
