120973, How many here are into the whole Experimental Electronic genre?

Or similar sounding music? All those crazy sub-genre titles: IDM, Breakcore, Minimalism, Avant-Garde Electronic, Noise, Glitch and whatnot.
If not that, then perhaps just Electronic?
Basically I'd love to get a discussion going on this, because on forums where people _do_ love this music, said people are ridiculously up their own ass.
What are your thoughts on combining Hip Hop with elements of Experimental Electronic? Andre 3000 once said he wanted to work with Squarepusher in an interview, to which Squarepusher was more or less elitist as all hell in a private interview response (in summary: he didn't really know anything about hip hop and just assumed andre 3000/outkast was mainstream generic shit made 100% for money).
Favorite artists of the (sub)"genre"(s)? Personally, in order: Autechre, Aphex Twin, Boards Of Canada, Squarepusher, Amon Tobin.
Your thoughts on the various IDM albums that dropped this year (Quaristice, Just A Souvenir, Amon Tobin's various singles).
