Talk:Illbient

Original research
American centric article. This term isn't used elsewhere.--Dr. Who 17:38, 7 February 2007 (UTC)


 * I used it in January 2001, and I'm not at all American. At the time I think I picked it up from The NME or Q magazine, although I was using it tongue-in-cheek, and assumed it was a blanket term for unsettling arty ambient music. Wikipedia's article reads like a lot of raving nonsense, but it's the kind of internally consistent raving nonsense that's hard to unpick. I suggest leaving it for a few years, at which point it can be squashed down to a sentence, and then merged with Ambient Music, and deleted. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 21:44, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

THe above comments are ignorant. Illbient has very little to do with Ambient. It has more to do with noisy underground Hip Hop Dub and techno. There are still several active Illbient related labels. Some in Germany, France and Russia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.110.112.2 (talk) 00:43, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

"resteragentrified"
This article contains the word "resteragentrified". Only two pages on the internet include that word; and those two pages are Illbient and the talk page you are now reading. Is it a mescaline-induced typo for "gentrified"? -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 21:44, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
 * The word has been removed. Ftiercel (talk) 19:50, 29 October 2014 (UTC)

Clarification needed
What is 'iconoclastic' meant to be in the context of this article? It is never explained which icons were being smashed by the illbient movement. Unless there is an explanation who or what these icons or images stood for (stilistically, culturally, politically?), the term iconoclastic does not make any sense. --109.91.109.186 (talk) 21:21, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

Red Bull Oral History
Perhaps somebody can take the time to include facts from this oral history account by the people involved in the NY scene at the time. http://daily.redbullmusicacademy.com/2014/08/illbient-oral-history — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.133.16.171 (talk) 10:50, 29 March 2018 (UTC)
