venetian snares was also right re: Richard Devine A+ Student and all, IDM should have a diss culture. Acid wiggle jams dissing others' weak ass acid wiggles West coast east coast UK some German guy IDM/ventriloquist feuds

I don't even know anymore, just joking like obviously the featured artists etc. have a very meticulous approach (all the videos of people making 'music' with Max/MSP and Autechre just seems to make real-ass music with it seemingly effortlessly, and hours of material), and then on the other hand there's the guys trying to be 'me too' about IDM and they're just running dblue glitch or whatever I'm not even saying "take IDM srsly", like if you're going to do/are setting out to make weird introverted tinkering music at least put your full ass into it, and get meticulous with the production/soundmaking because it's a more fulfilling musical goal anyway even if you have 'fun' with it at the very best IDM feels like 'overproduction' but in an attention to detail way, if it's overproduced it's in ways that people don't consider that 'production' and can still be lo-fi as heck, but still be elaborate music

lol I was thinking further about it, and like, so there are guys that just wing it and make some idumz in Fruityloops etc.? Like at least if there's gonna be the stigma of autism in the genre, go ALL THE WAY with the IDM-ness and get very elaborate and tinker-y about the production. Like you guys might deride my choice of Blok Modular for synth/sound-making stuff, but are some of these lame-o IDM pretenders just downloading every 'weird' sample pack they can find and not even getting balls deep into sound design/how to make a noise. Donald Trump Twitter SAD it's like autism but at the same time the half-assed FL producers in denial of their own autism, lol. Like afraid to get too 'immersed' in the production process

north face is probably the stimming thing though, can't brush up against any strange textures if you've got protective layer of northface

I mean I thhhhhhhiiiiinkk there is supposed to be this sort of irony to IDM, like the musical progressions AREN'T supposed to make sense or lead anywhere but in a way that gets your brain confused. But there is a sense of humor to the best form of this kind of music that people completely mess up at doing. And then probably the best IDM albums were just stealth candid and honest album in disguise, Lunatic Harness imo Edit: u-ziq Strawberry Fields Hotel, the best idm guys prove they can make the brutally honest/candid stuff if they felt like it

anybody else a little offended by the North Face jacket/sweater thing? Like it feels like it could be "intelligent dance nohomo", like purposefully wearing the most androgynous form of body wear (not like 'pretty' version of androgynous, androgynous as no strong gender signals, becomes a genderless blob, subtracts 50 pounds from the camera) lol going too far with the theory, could just be 'my body is hideous' theory. Or autism, I like fuzzy blue sweaters, least or most 'stimmy' form of clothing but the reason it could be nohomo is like it's always like gray or navy blue or CADET BLUE or something, nobody's going out wearing the 'putting yourself out there' neon north face jacket or tie die rainbow north face jacket, seems purposely chosen as least flamboyant form of clothing, massive virtue signalling amirite

this, I usually only ever listen to the featured artists and snares, the rest feels like a no mans land of no return where musical enjoyment goes to die. It's like that 'on the shoulders of giants' quote to the nth degree, except it's like retards on the shoulders of some giant that being said I guess the 90s stuff was an aesthetic of texture and odd atmospheres over particularly strong melodies at times, but there's a spin on everything, I think that's the part that got derided as 'navel-gazing' I didn't even really like the Artificial Intelligence series or whatever is supposed to be the 'classics', it's basically Aphex AE and the rest of the guys propping up ultimate shitgenre. Or like those video game systems that came out in the 90s where there was like one cool fighting game and one cool JRPG for the system and the rest was shovelware so anybody who bought the system basically bought it for two decent titles

I was writing a john wick dadaist fanfic, scrapped everything and rewriting it, 4 sentences so far lol

27 amen breaks eat David Foster Wallace's head, unbelievable smegma economics

lol had this tab open for like 2 days but finally listening to it. The sound palette isn't really trying too hard to imitate Warp stuff but has the attitude of some early Aphex stuff including some of the Soundcloud stuff, I like it is it really as simple as some kind of Boss filter? It definitely sounds like some of the same sounds going on, I thought maybe aphex was always using some modular stuff for the more weird ass timbres

Richard Gere makes Buddhism depressing in two hours to make white people feel uncomfortable

also by proxy Trump fans really are idiots and are mistaking the sympathetic coke vibes for something actually deep or meaningful

that's just the natural microphone distortion and layering with the original track, pretty lush Edit: by inference/by proxy he def does buttloads of cocaine or just has MAGICAL HYPEUP ABILITY for his speeches I guess

Trump definitely listens to Underworld

DJ Alex Jones Fans Are Washed Up Ravers Who Are Turning Into Their Own Racist Granpa

DJ Reach In You Brain and PPull Your FFucking Shoulder

DJ Time Travelling Virtue Signaller

he wrote a book or something? what the shit

DJ Stim Patch

lol

Brian Eno has admitted in interviews he has like a 50000 TB porn collection or something, or like he was implying stuff like Deviantart even lol

yeah I still think conspiracy stuff is the virtue signalling thing going on at times tho. "everybody's evil/a weirdo but me". Implicit implication that the conspiracy video guy stands against the gross stuff Edit: oh. Who guy is like a retarded hybrid of both things
