I usually say "electronic music" or "electronic dance music" or "electronic
listening/dance music"..
coz IMHO IDM is inside that broad generalisation.. like I said before, I
believe that IDM has become a genre.. a genre that house and some other
stuff does not belong to..
but I also like house, trance (especially hard trance) and electro, etc..
hence saying "electronic dance music"
