"What is the Most IDM Thing" Bracketology 2009

[QBLA]

damn... i already started a track for "girls & robots..."!

[lumpenprol]

jesus....folks, "the rush, etc" became a watmm meme as a way to shame its author into leaving the forum. It is in no way grand enough to warrant a tribute album. Such an album, by making people create music to match a loser's masochistic credo, would be giving him more attention than he's worth. "The rush, the adaptation, and the general backwardness of the act" is not IDM. It's not inspirational. It's an epitaph to an emo.

 

Girls and robots, on the other hand, is IDM. The imagination runs wild. Futurism and sex in one. This is a noble vision that bedroom musicians can aspire to. It proudly declares the dichotomy of cold rationality and sensuality to be a false one.

 

Girls and robots 2009.

Exactly. The whole point of "the rush, the adaptation, and the general backwardness of the act" is that it isn't sincere. When people say it here, they are being ironic.

 

Now, if IDM has an ironic album title, then how are we any different than indie-shit?

[SR4]

how the fuck is sleep deprivation winning?

 

goddamn this forum.

[Guest tv_party]

no large hadron colliders, ullillillia and bees...

well said sir

[pcock]

idm is serious bizniss.

 

i hate you all for choosing antarctica over bees.

[patternoverlap]

For all of the shit talking of Antarctica and Ancient Astronauts, at this point they have the most votes. Just goes to show how much the lurkers own this forum.

 

Also, for all of the Ulillillia supporters, you can still put together your own compilation (a la DSC). I'd be down for doing this and mailing it to him.

people use the term IDM un-ironically ???

 

*head asplodes*

 

 

[Guest boo]

"What is the Most IDM Thing" is ironic also

[Velazquez]

Sleep deprivation is a well coached team... fundamentally sound.

Reminded me to nominate "IDM by committee" next year come brainstorming time.

[Velazquez]

Una tubería de fumar dentro de un casco espacial !

[encey]

go static! :heart:

 

RIP Ulillillia

[Fred McGriff]

static is insane. i'm blown away by this team's performance. i'm dumbfounded that a mid-major RUNNER UP is taking it to these powerhouses day in and day out.

[Blir]

With static as a well-performing contender we stand a good chance of a noise-based compilation album this year. Hooray!

[SR4]

static is too grand and subtle a thing to be ignored.

 

static is like the Force of IDM.

[perunamuusi]

it already has a ceephax track named after it

[Fred McGriff]

i like the song by Unit called "static beef"
