 what i meant was: i didn't really know if there was a sign actually 
 denoting "IDM" inside the physical store...i'm curious to know if 
 this is the case...
 at soundwaves here in houston, things are starting to finally get 
 better separated (aside from everything being in "dance"), although 
 it's more annoying, b/c say i'm looking for squarepusher...do i look 
 under the general "techno/dance", or under "drum n' bass"? (lucky for 
 me, soundwaves can't decide either, and stocks SP in both).......why 
 do i fear that this is going to turn into a "why do we need different 
 subgenres, it's all just music" thread that everything in 
 alt.music.techno seems to sink into?

skam, markant, musik aus strom, warp, rephlex, etc. etc... (they also stock 
industrial).. while the other store stocks house, trance, jungle, etc.
