People tend to forget that IDM began as a relatively mellow, complacent
form. With that in mind, it's obvious that a lot of the new (and veteran)
artists are gonna want to stick to that initial parti. Genres of music
generally don't wholly revolutionize over a ten-year span, but some of the
participating artists may certainly go off on a tangent and stay there.
IDM fans come from different walks. Some have their roots in ambient, some
in industrial, some in general dance. It's a blessing we have a lot to
choose from. And it's refreshing when we end up on the same page (people
who were only turned on to the spastic stuff begin to enjoy the melodic
stuff, and v/versa).

This is a very personalized statement, and I'll take it as that. But this
is not something IDM needs to get over, it's something you need to get over.
IDM is a very up-and-coming media, and we're all witnessing it become larger
than it was just a few years back. Luckily there's plenty of different
avenues and subavenues to choose from. So it starts to get hemroid-inducing
when so many fans find room to complain about what they don't like.
