Nothing has to be limited, but IDM does have it's own elements. When artists have
all of these elements including loads that have nothing todo with the genre, that's
when they sortof become something of their own. It may be nitpicky to say they
aren't, but it was just too much lyrical guitar rock to me. I may be wrong though, I
just distinctly remember not liking how much they sounded like the virgin suicide
soundtrack that Air did. And to just push them into the idm genre because they have
a bit of idm relation INSIDE of loads that's not isn't really justified, they might as well
be pushed into something else. Nobody is even talking about autechre or aphex
clones, I'm talking about indie/post rock bands that are using mad electronics now
taking their own turn, not becoming idm, but becoming something of their own.
