Constraints on the properties of the cosmological dark matter have previously been obtained in a model-independent fashion using the generalized dark matter (GDM) framework. Here we extend that work in several directions: We consider the inclusion of WiggleZ matter power spectrum data (MPS), and show that this improves the constraints on the two perturbative GDM parameters, $c^2_\mathrm{ s}$ and $c^2_\text{vis}$, by a factor of 3, for a conservative choice of wavenumber range.
