I hate this term. If you attempt to qualify any genre with the adjective "intelligent", you're stupid by default.
it makes me laugh that a bunch of dudes that were taking the piss by drawing smileys in the sequencer window and then pressing play managed to get described as "intelligent" anything.. that experimentation was all about fucking about, plain and simple. If you really want to take that route, then "braindance" was at least funny.
"intelligent jungle" churns my stomach. and then it started getting called "liquid funk" for about a week after grooverider used the term..

I love the fact Popcorn was named (belatedly) after The Popcorn club in Belgium but has evolved musically over the years to be more about an international range of pre-Beatles 50s exotica / kitsch / doowop etc etc, rather than the Motown, Rn'B, Soul it started out as.
In that sense it's got to be the only movement that has grown into it's name rather than away from it, at least by my reckoning.
Popcorn and Disco / Discotheque genres were both named after clubs. Anyone know any other genres named after specific clubs or club nights apart from House as stated in a post above?
Dont say Donk.

funny that there's no mention of dance in that entire article. Swing, for example - was the music named after the dance or the dance named after the music? Is swing even a genre really?
Forr?? has a number of sub-genres, some named after the way you dance to it like arrasta-p?? (drag your feet) and umbigada (roughly translated to "smash your belly buttons"). Lambada is derived from carimb?? and guitarrada and is named after the way you dance to it. Ciranda is another folk style that refers to the dance as well as the music. At one point people referred to that Onyx style of hip-hop as bate-cabe??a (head banging) because I guess that's what you do when you listen to it.
