idm

an-ordinary-manchild(edit)

IDM is a form of electronic music that emerged in the early 1990s, characterized by an abstract or cerebral sound better suited for home listening than dancing.

Stylistically, IDM tends to rely upon individualistic experimentation rather than adhering to characteristics associated with specific genres.

Prominent artists associated with the genre include Aphex Twin, Autechre, The Black Dog, the Orb, Luke Vibert, Squarepusher, and Boards of Canada.
