Can we get rid of IDM

[chassis]

Replace it with something better. Preferably one that can't be put in an acronym.

 

Something like Abstract Techno but you know, good.

 

Baindance is better but it makes it sound like your describing it to a 9 year old.

 

 

Probably Jazzband anyway.

[Siegecow]

[vamos scorcho]

idm has always just meant abstract techno, that's absolutely all there is to it. nothing more to say.

[Guest analogue wings]

you don't actually think people are being serious when they use that term do you?

[baph]

Keep the acronym, but change the meaning.

 

I propose "Iffy Dance Music."

[GORDO]

only thing worse than the name is complaining about it.

[Root5]

Why don't we just rename it to "We don't think we're better than you, can we please just be friends now?"

[Guest sirch]

Inane Disjected Meanderings ?

[Guest disparaissant]

rename it a series of vocalized clicks and pops

Abstract techno? What makes it more abstract than the other genres? How would you define abstraction in music? Where do you hear the techno outside of the Artificial Intelligence series? IDM does not really make sense either...

IDM is long overdue for some popularity and chicks, because we need to give it a catchy made-up name, like crunk or *core, but instead, like.. Danzzz, Schwong, Kricko, help me out here.
