Intelligent Dance Music: Complexe drum patterns, abstract melodies & style...

As far as I know, this is the most uncommon EDM-genre and you'll never hear it in a club. It's pretty hard to dance to, that's why it's also called "bedroom music" or "artcore".

If you sincerilly LOVE most styles of obscure music, you'll LOVE IDM!
Artists like: Autechre, Amon Tobin, Aphex Twin, Future Sound Of London, Mouse On Mars...

most people say intelligent dance music

But now it can also be use in gaming and/or several chat place to replace the words to " I don't mind" or "It doesn't matter"
Whatever the word you see fit is your choice.
Tom: do you want me to help you?

Tim: sure, idm.

"Intelligent Dance Music", an often debated term for a style of electronic music (as "intelligent" sounds pretentious and it's not really "dance music") that encompasses a confusingly wide area of music. Mostly enjoyed by computer nerds and LSD-heads, mostly a combination of both. Known for being more cerebral than many forms of music, thus "intelligent". Listeners of this form of music are generally stereotyped as pretentious musical afficionado pricks.
Popular artists include Aphex Twin (Richard D. James), Squarepusher, Autechre, Amon Tobin, and on the harder side, Venetian Snares.

Popular labels include WARP Records, Planet Mu, Merck, and Rephlex.
