good lord, it's just a label. the responses here can be predicted by a toddler.

let's rename it right now - what do you call a genre that focuses on high production values, abstract rhythmic patterns, and actual musical theory?

all credit to the London techno dons for creating "It's Not Intelligent...", but surely IDM is not that offensive?

happy hardcore? dubstep? psychedelic trance? they all sound like wank to an outsider.
