| IDM fans are prude
I was in #// on EFnet, the uhm, IDM channel of EFnet and I said this:
Autechre, Aphex Twin, Venetian Snares, Squarepusher, and Bola are all IDM.
Everyone killed each other afterwords over genres. It got really bad though. People hating on me, hating on each other over such obscure genres as "antidrumz", "glitch", "drill 'n' bass".
So, after about 20 minutes of fighting amongst themselves and completely forgetting that I set off the heated debate in the first place, I cried out:
"IDM IS NOTHING MORE THAN EMOTRONICA SO YOU ALL LISTEN TO EMO"
Suddenly, all of the above mentioned bands are IDM again, not "antidrumz", "glitch", or "Drill 'n' bass".
Things like "autechre is grey, not emotional! VENETIAN SNARES IS ANGRY, NOT DEPRESSED, SO NO EMO" and a sudden defense of mixing classical instruments with twisted drum programming arose out of the ashes.
Maybe this is just a peculiarity of #//, so for my next test, the IDM Orkut community. |

| Equipement busted a whole new breed of ppl fucking around with them... and trying to label their productions style to be special and have attention as a precursors... then it dies out the next day and they go back to being a hyper critical of everyone elses stuff. |

| Haha , emotronica... That's the shit !
I so want a "You're EMO" t-shirt.
I so am myself. Omg I wear a trucker cap , that's so emo !!!
Bhahahaha.
The funny thing is that ppl are dumb enough to really call something emotronica. Just watch out for emotronica ppl coming out soon ... |

| IDM is like the Picasso of electronic music not every one likes it and it's hard to get in to. Pure IDM can pretty much sound like crap. Ambient or Trance oriented IDM…now that’s different. |

| the best thing about idm is you don't know when your cd is skipping or not |
|
Coolness: 339600
| know why?
cause it's the INTELLIGENT dance music, unlike those other stupid dance musics.. |
|
Coolness: 685525
| wow, skipping CD players must be on some next-level shit to be making IDM every time your car hits a bump. |

| liking good (i stress good) IDM is kinda like figuring out the pattern at lionel groulx floor and enjoying the elegance of it...not easy but nice when achieved |
|
Coolness: 193960
| ..and then the pattern fucks up, and you realize there may have never been one in the first place... and you're in chaos again |
|
Coolness: 339600
| bah, you just haven't looked deep enough, i figured out that pattern a whiles ago. |
|
Coolness: 201160
| I haven't figured it out.. but I don't really care that much about dirty metro floor patterns :D |
|
Coolness: 339600
| really nifty trick, when on the lower section, stare at the floor for bout 25 seconds, then look up at the cement walls and it'll be covered in green and pruple spots.. nifty huh?
(don't gimme a scientific reason why it happens, i already know, k thanks) |
