i mean what is the true definition of "industrial music"?
is it some inferred thing because someone "cool" with lot's of personality coined the term with an "infectious expression" on their face, and it caught on?
or is it music about industry?
is it the lyrics that make it "industrial" or the actual music?
like the sounds of industry that i can imagine are things like "pile drivers" which ram tubes into the ground,
or the sound of steam escaping after a valve has been opened? or just any old "hard edged" monotonous rhythm?
i don't know.
so i think the generic term "metal" refers to the fact that the wave form of the instruments contributing are mainly "square wave" and sound hard edged.
i am not a stupid person, but i can never understand "genre" descriptions of music.
so i think of deep purple's "smoke on the water" and it sounds industrial to me, but i know afficianado's will say it is not.
i had a go at it, but it's not industrial really because i infuse jazz into it due to my personality.
