I agree completely. Things can only get better. Just because IDM is
becoming mainstream doesn't necessarily mean it's all going to suck.
There is going to be a lot more of this type of music, and yes, a lot of
it will suck, but a lot of it will kick ass. As the major labels realize
what a cash cow this new "trend" is, they'll be signing idm artists left
and right. Some may say that will be bad but a lot of imaginative,
unknown artists will get exposure that they might otherwise have not, and
you might hear their track, buy their record, and become a devoted fan.
If you don't like it, you won't have to buy it. I would much rather have
idm be "the next big thing" than have the resident guitar oriented
schlock remain the status quo.
