Entry #10
Does Intelligence Belong in Music?
by AtomTM
The thing with “Intelligent Dance Music” is that somebody intelligent would never call a genre like that. In the same way a stupid person would never call itself “stupid”. It’s a contradiction in terms. An arrogant one for that matter.

I agree, and so does Albert.
” The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge, but imagination”
Imagine freedom. The rewards are great. 🙂
Hence “Stupid Dance Music™” would be unimaginative…?
“Dance” should perhaps become “chance” music. Then those seeking a surprise…won’t be surprised.
“Glorious Chance Music” A new unspecific genre is needed.
“Intelligent Chance Music”…I like!
Music is about music, not about intelligence.
It would be like saying that intelligence belongs to painting when every animal can paint 😀
Animals can paint?
Heres hoping the Higher Intelligence Agency had their tongues firmly in their cheeks, or maybe watched alot of Sci-fi when they were young ?
Lords of IDM doesn’t sit right with me. 🙂
Perhaps..even thinking we are “intelligent” should not be allowed. It’s a rocky road (delusion).
* “Intelligent Pants Music” ?
Braindance was even more pathetic, hahaha @rephlex/afx!
Good that you’re laughing about it, since it was meant to be funny.
Intelligent people don’t dance. Period.
Oooph..I’m glad I’m dim then. 🙂
The dog doesn’t dance though ?
Artificially Intelligent is the new Intelligent. It follows that AIDM should be the new IDM then. Sure, AI can make music, but can AI dance?
Has casually come on a forum and has seen this theme. I can help you council. Together we can find the decision.
I think I am not intelligent enough for your comment.
