Intelligent dance music (commonly IDM) is a genre of electronica derived from dance music of the 1980s and early 1990s which uses unusual and "weird" sounds, defies rhythmic convention, and is much harder to dance to than most forms of techno.. IDM was originally applied to musicians like FSOL, Orb, Orbital, Richard James (aka Aphex Twin), Black Dog, and B12.
