I think perhaps the problem with the name IDM for the genre is misleading especially when I can listen to something completely opposite in style and still appreciate it just as much "in my head"... for example grindcore... fast technical metal isnt something that most people call intelligent, but there are many bands that I think rip that I can "braindance" just as well as to some clicks or pops. Point being, idm could be more of an all-encompassing genre, rather than a nebulous and ambiguous definition of a style. IDM should be split in at least 100 categories but I dont think anyone would wanna take the time to subcategorize it -- it moves too damn fast anyway. (I like that tho.)
