everytime i heard those timbaland productions for justin timberlake and nelly furtado, i thought something like: "well that sounds pretty minimal".

so, is "minimal" much like an expression (or a prefix) like "hardcore"? you find hardcore in many different genres, like punk rock/metal or even hip hop/rap.
maybe next year we get "minimal porn"!
porno without orgasms! :P

don't disagree with anything you said but this... Minimal has been around long before electronic music. But even as electronic music it existed much earlier.... "Robert Hood, minimal nation" Studio 1, Mike Ink.. Even Hawtin's first albums as a solo producer back in the 90s. But if you are saying that they took the idea and ran with it then sure thing.

It was invented around 2001 by Richie Hawtin with his MINUS label and since then nice people like Magda and Troy brought minimal music to the masses. It's great music for being on drugs and looking cool.
Beautiful. My suggestion is to go search for something more musical.
