'IDM hip-hop' is a nonsense term.

How 'bout IHH - as in 'Intelligent Hip-Hop'.

Would you believe I never looked up what IDM meant until just now?

I always took it to mean "Weird electronic-y glitch-hop". But I'm
flattered. ; )

Dance music. M'heh.

there's a lot of stuff that i like that usually gets called IDM (aphex
twin, boards of canada, four tet, etc), but i really hate the term "IDM"
because the vast majority of it's not "dance" music. it may be
electronic, and it may have evolved from dance music, and it may even
still have significant dance music elements sometimes, but the vast
majority of it doesn't seem like something that you can actually dance to.

but i guess the term's sort of here to stay.

Yes, I would have a lot of trouble dancing to BoC or Aphex Twin. I don't
understand the term, either.

I'm just riding the trend.

"Your music is weird and quirky, it doesn't fit the hip-hop mold."

"That because it's IDM."
