It being trendy doesn't have to mean the genre's icons getting
more recognition. It usually means that more and more influences
of the genre seap into the mainstream...Britney Spears using a
Nord Modular on het next single? Stuff like that :) After the
mainstream public warmed to some of the sounds, some artists
will pop-up out of the scene. There could also be 1 artist that
sets the train in motion, but IDM being a 'genre' as diverse as
it is, it'll probably be a more subtle process. Pop-producers
seeking inspiration will find there's a new world of music
they've been ignoring... (just like that Missty Elliot producer,
who's name I forgot for some reason, who 'invented' breakbeats
in R&B :)
