hey, this is an interesting point. i would definitely agree that house is
oriented to be listened to in large groups or dance-oriented settings, and
it explains a lot of the elements of house.
so, you're saying that house is intended for big bass-pumping speakers in a
club. And that house is not meant for headphones, because then it wouldn't
be house anymore, it'd be some weird non-dance things, like NDM (non-dance
music.. hey maybe that's what this list should be :b ).
However, it's also been said that the Luomo release contains a lot of
details that are missed on big bass-pumping speakers. and that Luomo is
definitely a house record. Since many of these details are only heard on
headphones, and make the lp what it is, without these details it is likely
significantly less interesting. Therefore, wouldn't this make the Luomo
release a *bad* house lp?
so luomo is bad house. but it's good housey idm?

we should definitely push to get the latter definition for this acronym
accepted in pop-culture.
