Meanings
-
(uncountable) A noisy, experimental genre of music with transgressive themes.
One of the difficulties that plague conversations about industrial music is that the genre has come to include (to the chagrin and outright denial of some purists) anything from gentle synthesized droning to metal-inspired riffage.
