I don't think there is a more embarrassing genre label than IDM

Insecure much?
>>68366913
it is
Is it high time we figured out a way of talking about this collection of styles without having to call it IDM? Braindance is just as bad if not worse. Is it easier to just call everything either Ambient Techno, Experimental Techno or Glitch Dance?

>Braindance
this is the best term in my opinion. It doesn't connote special intelligence, but it expresses the way that a lot of this music is meant for heady attentive listening. I really would like to see it become the popular term

I honestly like very much the tag IDM, only the tag, what it means it's utterly stupid indeed. When I make listen some friends to Autechre and Aphex Twin and I say "this music is called IDM" they say "wow cool, but if you reveal them "it means intelligent dance music" everyone react like "what? :O("
So tag is ok, meaning is dumb.

The fact that it has Brain in the name does give it that connotation though. It's pretty much just "brainy dance music". I don't know if Americans use the word brainy but in the UK it means smart in a really geeky way, it instantly makes the genre sound pretentious.

Braindance is fucking terrible.

Anyway getting away from this awful discussion why is Mouse On Mars so underrated?

it probably does give it that impression to people with lesser understanding of language, but to hip brains it's clear what it means. It's meant to express the qualities of the music that made the picture of an android sitting in an armchair a good compilation cover the artificial intelligence series. It's about dance music where internal movements are observed with as much weight as bodily auditory sensations, you dummy.
