This is kinda silly. I know plenty of women who enjoy IDM music, they're just not as hardcore about it. Whereas guys may get all hot and bothered when they see a rare mask record or get all sweaty when they get ahold of some new white label, girls tend to only buy something if they really dig it. (Although there's nothing more attractive in a girl than a good musical collection.) As for going out to events, I think girls tend to view it more as a social event, where we tend to go for specific acts. So when the crowd largely consists of head bobbing sweaty freaks staring intently at some guys laptop, there isn't much to offer in the way of socializing. Although largely due to the location, we had a pretty good ratio of women to men at both Sterile events. With the artists perched up on a loft, people had no choice but to dance or socialize. If you want the women around you to get into IDM, try playing it for them. Don't play them the most fucked up gescom record you can find, ease them in with something with melody. I haven't met a girl yet that didn't react favorably to Boards Of Canada or Lexaunculpt for this very reason. -Daniel xxxxxx@xxxxxxxxx.xxx ============================================================================== Peach Space Disco For Fish Tacos PO Box 1902 8-10pm Wednesdays, KUCI 88.9fm Huntington Beach, CA 92647 www.peachfuzz.net/space www.peachfuzz.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sterile: Orange County's Intelligent Electronic Monthly www.peachfuzz.net/sterile ============================================================================== "A lot of people just talk out of their ass, I happen to fall under that category" -Dana Watanabe
