You should try listening to Syro. Every phrase of the tracks has a point of development to listen to.

If you are bored listening to Syro, then you aren't listening to it.

the craftsmanship.
the attention to detail.
the execution.
anybody can make music on a laptop these days but not everybody has his ability to refine it into something lasting and worthy of repeated listens.

For the most part i agree minus some songs on the Come To Daddy EP and the breakbeat songs on Drukqs but you're missing the point. EDM is made specifically to dance to at raves and other social gatherings, IDM is not. IDM is a pretty shit term though I'd rather it be called skibidy bop instead.

Why do plebs believe the more complex the better? Some of the best music in classical and popular music is extremely simple in form.

We're specifically talking about electronic music not classic or pop. In Aphex Twins case, it's true.

For me it's his subtlety. You can listen to any of his tracks countless times and hear something new every time.

Not saying you're wrong but it's not like the opposite is true either.
