They are def normie music.
>Sure, I love Autechre and the Schematic label, but I also like James Brown and Trouble Funk and Basement Jaxx and Daft Punk- does this make me unintelligent? The snooty attitude towards "real" dance music inherent in the term IDM fits all too easily with the stereotype of the bedroom collector geek who is hopelessly alienated from the bodily hedonism of a decent soundsystem/rave/club party and who thereby fashions a resentment based alibi for why he can't get down.
>Furthermore, if you consider the sociological origins of contemporary electronic dance music in black and gay clubs in Chicago and New York and then consider the overall "whiteness" and "straightness" of the average IDM artist and fan it all starts to look kind of sinister, like people patting themselves on the back because they are so much more advanced than those savages who leap about to their wild drums or something. Sheesh. That said, I belong to the weblist called "IDM" and occasionally enjoy the discussions there, because I like some of the artists who get lassoed into that category (not to mention that we, occasionally, are lumped into that category too), and because you can occasionally find out about interesting records on that list. Like any other community, it allows for networking and exchange of information which is really useful and productive and powerful- but like any community, it always needs to define itself through exclusion, clique-ishness and the fashioning of some "other" excluded terms: rock music, women, noise, "real" dance music.
>I've noticed that whenever discussions drift towards anything about gender or sexuality on that list the cluelessness factor jumps off the chart. Matmos is IDM if that only means "might be talked about on the IDM list"- but I don't endorse that term "intelligent dance music" because it's laughable.
- Drew Daniel (Matmos)

i just don't get how he can be so racist without realising
>savages
like where tf did that come from
All very reasonable, though he's just echoing what everyone thinks about the term
Why are most bands/artists these days Marxists/leftists peddling a political agenda?
>eg. Death Grips, Kendrick Lamar, Radiohead, every gay Pitchfork indie band
>Death Grips
I don't see how they're peddling a political agenda.

Because artists tend to be sensitive and empathic and care about other human beings. Right wingers don't really seem to care about the wellbeing of any people except for upper class white men.

What are some good Australian bands?
Other than AC/DC and pic related of course.
dead people can in fact dance
Men at work
midnight oil plen
memes aside this is perfect pop rock album
>>74444005
I agree
Pretty underrated in blurs discography, Although i have to admit i can't stand country house or fade away. But this album has some 10/10s Best Days, The Universal, He Thought Of Cars, Ernold Same and Yuko And Hiro.
I kind of feel you're doing the album injustice by just calling it "pop rock" it's pretty experimental desu

I wish /mu/ was renamed to
/please no pop infatuation over things that are already discussed on all sorts social media platforms/
if you're not shit posting here's a tip what does this have to do with listening to music?
mumble rap is based around its love for superficial and visual memery and rarely anything
to do with our ears. let alone an artists sexual orientation.
