IDM is not even close to a well-defined genre so i have no idea who you're referring to when you say IDM. some would say Autechre or Plaid is IDM, but neither of them sound like each other or Aphex Twin

this is a p big problem for me cause i'm working through my music collection and properly tagging everything. i kind of solve it by using "(main genre)/(sub-genre)" for my genre tags but it's still vexing with idm cause like obviously autechre and telefon tel aviv are gonna be in different sub-genres of idm but idk what sub-genre

i like to put one or two related genres on shuffle. right now i just use filesystem directories for the same purpose but i'd like to get more fine grained and if everything's not tagged right i'll get TTV-type music when i want autechre-type music

(ask me about how i have 7 different sub-genres of ambient music in my taxonomy, not including dark ambient and drone, which are their own main genres and have their own sub-genres. i know ambient music way better tho so i'm more comfortable organizing it.)
